A Day In The Country
From £800 plus £40 pp
I say old chaps, isn’t it a nice day to be outdoors?! Well grab your wellies and flat caps and head to the country for our fantastic adventure day, filled with all that encompasses ‘A Day in the Country!’
This brilliant action-packed event starts with a hearty greeting from our host, a spiffing country gentleman sporting a Barbour jacket, wellies and flat cap of course! You and your team will then get to don your very own overalls, wellies and flat caps ready to receive your safety briefing and introduction.
Upon starter’s orders, your team will rotate around some fantastic and fun team building activities; including clay pigeon shooting, blindfold 4x4 driving and archery. Such a day wouldn’t be complete though without a midday break for a flask of tea and homemade scones in the back of the 4x4s, so we’ve included this for you too chaps. Ready for the off?!
Splendid!
Premium Activities (Choose 2)
Quad Biking
Do you think you and your team could navigate around our ‘Day in the Country’ themed course, dodging hay bales, missing the sheep and rescuing the lamb?!
Quad biking is a brilliantly fun activity that will have your team in hilarious laughter. It is simple to learn (though impossible to master!) and by using our automatic bikes, you don't need a lengthy briefing before you get going out onto the course. However, you will require some element of control and balance to navigate the lumps, bumps and humps galore!
Blindfold 4x4 Driving
It’s ‘night-time’ and your team have been stranded in a field with no lights and no clear route back to ‘the farm’. Using a 4x4 vehicle, you will have to drive blindfolded through our course, avoiding the ditches and other obstacles, with only your team’s guidance to help you. Try not to get lost as you locate the correct order of landmarks to get you all back safely. Good communication and bags of trust are required for this one, not to mention nerves of steel from our instructor!
Archery
This ancient sport is a superb country pursuit where skill, judgment and a good eye is required. Our trained members of staff will teach you and your team the skills of archery using traditional long bows, which are powerful enough to be very accurate, and are light enough for most people and most ages to use. All of your team will have the opportunity to shoot over a reasonable distance, so you will really feel that sense of achievement when you hit the target, and more often than you’d presume, a bull's-eye!
Cross Bow
As an alternative or step-up from long bow archery, the cross bow is a more powerful and much more accurate option for the braver amongst you! If you and your colleagues have tried archery before, than this might just be your next challenge, as our new versions of these ancient weapons really do take your breath away!
Clay Pigeon Shooting
A true country sport: real clay shooting, real guns, real shots. We use real 12 bore shotguns for the ultimate shooting experience, so you get the noise, the kick and the feeling of power! You will be briefed and tutored throughout by expert instructors on where and when to shoot to achieve the best success rate and feel like you are a true country gentleman! All the necessary equipment is provided, so all you have to do is concentrate on the clay fired from strategically placed traps to enjoy the feeling of satisfaction when it explodes mid-air.
Standard Activities
Blindfold Sheep Herding
Armed with a whistle and staff, can you get all the sheep back in the pen?! Only one problem, these aren’t any ordinary sheep, they are your costumed and blindfolded colleagues! With a code of farm yard noises to help you will have to safely guide everyone back with truly hilarious results.
Country Pub Quiz
If there’s one on hand we’ll certainly take you there; if not, all head back to the
Land Rovers for a tipple and a quick pub quiz.
Welly Wanging
No country day is complete without a welly or two being thrown about, and this well loved heave-ho challenge is sure get everyone’s competitive streak fired up. Stay behind the line and within the parameters and your throw will be marked. The further you throw the more points you get, with an added prize for the furthest throw!
Tug-O-War
This fantastic head-to-head team contest will commence with the command from the judge: “Pick up the rope”. Thereupon, you and one other team will move back until the rope is taught and the judge inserts the marker flag opposite the central marker on the rope. Your team must then thump their feet into the ground for a firm hold and lean back on the rope until you hear “PULL!”, which is your cue to pull with all your strength! This classic country sport is guaranteed to have all your colleagues in fits of laughter, 
as well as a team full of muddy knees!
