Performance Car Driving Days
These are days at race tracks in Yorkshire (mainly Elvington) driving some of the most amazing performance
cars known to man. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Caterham 7's and more. These
are fantastic fun, and make great corporate entertainment days as well.

Bungee Jumping and Rope Courses
Ideal for those with no sense of their own mortality. Bungee jumping and rope courses
are available at various places in Yorkshire including Sheffield and the Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge. Leave your brain behind before engaging
in this activity.

Spa Days
Being pampered can make life seem a whole lot better sometimes - and these days
at luxury spas around Yorkshire, cover facials, massages, saunas, steam rooms,
and generally just totally relaxing in luxury surroundings.

Rally Driving
Rally driving is one of the most skilled forms of motor sport. Unlike the tedium
of formula 1, with rally driving every situation is unique, and learning to cope
with these situations is really beneficial to driving skills as a whole. Locations
for these days out are generally in North Yorkshire.

Off-Road Driving
Now this is my favourite type of driving experience. Off-road driving in landrovers
and quad bikes is tremendous fun. I've written up a
quad-bike day
near Thirsk
that I did last year, and that's a pretty good guide to what these
sort of experiences are like.

Swinton Park Cookery School
Swinton Park is one of the grandest stately homes in Yorkshire, near Masham. Nowadays
it's a top class luxury hotel and conference centre. Throughout the year they run
events like garden design days, wine appreciation lunches and jewel appreciation
days. It's also home to a renowned cookery school featuring Rosemay Shrager, with
courses on seafood, modern british and mediterranean cookery. There are even special
courses for children and men.

Bird of Prey Days
Bird of prey handling days are absolutely amazing experiences. I did one near
castleford last year and it was unforgettable. On my day out I flew a
Harris Hawk, a European Eagle Owl and a peregrine. These are available at fantastic
locations in the Dales.

Sphereing
What on earth is that you ask? Well, Sphereing is being strapped into a giant plastic
ball and rolled downhill. This particular brannd of idiocy used to be confined to
New Zealand, but it's now broken out and reached Leeds and Newcastle. Why anyone would pay money
to be treated like this is beyond me, but they do as many an MP can testify.

|
Miscellaneous
This is where I've added everything that just didn't fit anywhere else. Things like
ghost hunting, ice climbing, pole dancing and lots more.

Indoor Parachuting
Once upon a time parachuting involved jumping out of an aeroplane. Now there's
also indoor parachuting in Sheffield as well. Suppose you have to find something
to do with all those disused steel works. Thanks Margaret, thanks Gordon.

Flying Experiences
Various flying things at various locations in Yorkshire. helicopter sightseesing
trips, acrobatics in Tiger Moths, Microlight flights, gliding , flying lessons.
I'd particularly recommend the helicopter trips, as in many of them you can choose
your own route, and might even be able to fly over your own house.
