We used Avalanche for a Stag Do where ages ranged from 30 to over 60. What a fantastic day out. The instructors were awesome, friendly, and so professional. We opted for archery followed by the quad bikes and finished with clay pigeon shooting. Everyone left with huge smiles and wanting to go back. Robin and his staff go out of their way to ensure you have a good time. We will be going again, and next time we may even take our wives. Thank you guys.

Visited Avalanche Adventure for a corporate day out. Can highly recommend! The team were brilliant and went out of their way to ensure the experience was as enjoyable as possible. We took part in the Quad Bike Safari and were taken back by not only the fun of the track, but the views of their site too. Would do it again!

Travelled an hour to get here from Nottingham and was not disappointed. This is the best quad biking we have done anywhere. They are under charging for what you get to experience, it's incredible value for money. Massive area to explore and have fun in. Brilliant condition powerful quads and an excellent instructor. Forget all the rest as I genuinely think this place is unbeatable. Literally not one bad point. Got there and the weather was appauling! Made quad biking even more muddy and fun. Thank you.

The activity is conducted at our facilities with designated areas for throwing axes. Participants are given safety instructions and are then shown how to properly hold and throw an axe.  As one of the most incredible traditions of the Vikings, axe throwing is an exceptional sport that most of our visitors love to experience. With the help of exceptional safety equipment, trained instructors and staff, you can rest assured that you will have a safe and exciting experience.

Then, you will be in the driving seat for the rest of the session guided by an instructor and your family cheering you up all the while. The minimum age should be 18 to drive the Land Rovers.

Historically, archery has been used for hunting and combat purposes. These days it’s most popular as a sport and as a hobby.

Our 15-metre outdoor range is specifically designed for archery practice using bows with a draw weight from 12 to 22 pounds; ensuring that we cater our archery services to a cross section of interested parties from age 12 upwards.

We provide left and right handed bows, and our dedicated team of qualified instructors provide essential archery instruction for beginners all the way to more advanced participants.

Amphibious Vehicle Driving

At Avalanche Adventure we offer activity days out, where you get the chance to manoeuvre an eight-wheeled skid-steer Argocat around our man-made all-terrain course, where you can compete against your family members in a time-trial event or simply try to make your way up and down our steep slope, across our deep water and through our slippery obstacle course.

Specially prepared game sites enable teams to battle for supremacy including The Convoy, Castle Camelot and many more.

To play you just need a sense of adventure and reasonable fitness; you don’t need to be Rambo or an Olympic athlete.

The games are only as energetic as most normal sports. Stealth, strategy, teamwork and initiative are just some of the requirements in order to be victorious in paintball games during activity days out.

Benefits of Activity Days Out

Activity days out with your family and friends have a lot to offer, here are just some of the advantages:

Creates Family Bonds

Your family is your first support network, and going on activity days out strengthens the bonds with your family.

A stronger bond with your family members creates feelings of security. Everyone is more emotionally connected with each other during the activities which have their own benefits.

Improves Academic Performance of Younger Members

Family activity days out are often packed with new experiences and provide opportunities to learn.

Getting teenagers in a natural environment and indulging them in outdoor activities can have an astounding impact on how well they can cope with the academics or life problems they might face in the future.

As a parent, you were your child’s initial teacher – he or she learned from you how to behave and communicate. Extend this by going on activity days out with your family and allow them to learn while they are pumped with a rush of adrenaline.

Blow Off Some Steam

Activity days out at Avalanche Adventure are a good opportunity for everyone to blow off some steam.

With the stresses and demands of everyday life often a burden, it is important for everyone to really let their hair down and have a great time.

After the exhilarating experience of a day with Avalanche, you and your friends and family will be feeling rejuvenated and happy.

Fun for Parents

What’s the point in having a child if he or she doesn’t give you an excuse to act younger than your age?

Activity days out present an opportunity for parents to unwind, forget work and focus on their family. You can use your time to catch up with your family and make memories with them.

When the younger members of your family move away from home, you’ll be glad that you have lots of pictures of those days you wish to remember forever.

Keep Active

Usually, activity days out involve a number of physical activities that are fun. Getting out of the house is important for physical health.

Leading a sedentary lifestyle is bad for you and family members. Exploring new places while doing adventurous activities is a great way to stay active.

Why not teach your children the importance of a life outside of a virtual world and spend some quality time together as a family?

Activities days out are packed with fun and adventure, so treat your family to this special trip for memories you can look back on forever.
