Join Boston, Gypsy and friends on a Wild West experience for would be 'Cowkids'.

Transport yourself back to the days of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with this wild west adventure for the cowboy or cowgirl in you. Your experience begins with a welcome and introduction to the Western Paint horses, Boston, Gypsy and friends. You'll meet your own trusty steed, saddle up and head off for a one hour riding lesson in the Western Riding Arena - western style. It's easier to learn and feels more secure than riding English-style, so it's great even for beginners. Next you'll be shown how to try your luck at lassoing the cow-horns, then finally it's time for a well-earned feast of ranch burger and beans. You'll also get a certificate to take home to show everyone that you're officially a Junior Cowboy.

Scuba diving always looks so tempting on holiday, but if you've never tried it before then it can seem like going in at the deep end (pun fully intended). Back in rainy Britain it's very easy to forget why diving seemed so appealing (a bit like ouzo, or that perma-tanned rep). But learning how to scuba dive is a ticket to a lifetime of underwater adventure and this two-person experience is a perfect introduction to the sport. You'll get expert instruction on safety and underwater mobility techniques, then you'll learn how to breathe underwater and achieve weightlessness while getting used to the equipment. Courses take place in swimming pools under controlled conditions - and while it might seem a long way from diving in a tropical ocean, it's the perfect way to get a basic grounding in diving and find out whether you like it. It's also ideal for anyone considering taking a PADI Open Water Diving Course.

Imagine crashing through the undergrowth, dodging exploding paintballs, hiding in bunkers or spying on your enemies from on high. On arrival, you will be kitted out with freshly laundered combat coveralls, full face protection paintball goggles and a top of the range semi-automatic paintball gun with an impressive 500 paintballs. You will be given a full safety briefing by an experienced marshal before commencing play. This is a real chance to shake off your day-to-day responsibilities and rekindle your spirit of adventure. There are between four and six games included, played out within differently themed areas and zones, set up to test your skills of strategy, leadership, navigation and teamwork.

You'll end up tired, saddle sore and covered in mud. You'll also learn loads of new skills and have an exhilarating adventure over a brilliant rough terrain course. Sound like fun? This experience is designed for beginners, so don't worry if you've never tried mountain biking before - you're in safe hands. The aim of the day is to get you totally comfortable over rough terrain, and the focus of the coaching will be around developing balancing skills, effective braking, descending without fear and ascending without pushing (oh yes - there's going to be a lot of hills involved). You'll also get coaching on navigation and bike maintenance. You'll be kitted out with a helmet (whether you don tight-fitting lycra is up to you). By the end of the day you'll probably be aching in muscles you never knew you had, but you'll have had loads of fun and you'll know why mountain biking is one of the country's fastest-growing sports.

If you fancy doing something a bit more adventurous on your day off than just washing the car, and you don't mind getting a bit wet (although in fairness that can happen washing the car), then give kayaking a try. It's fun, it's active, and it's also a great way to see some of Britain's loveliest countryside. Your experience begins with a safety briefing and an outline of basic handling techniques from your expert instructor. Then go out onto the water in your one-person kayak. You'll be shown a variety of skills used by the experts and you'll quickly get the hang of handling your boat. Kayaking is great fun and can't be beaten for the sheer pleasure of powering yourself silently across the water. The stunning scenery of Wales makes a perfect backdrop to a sea kayaking adventure. Or choose the splendour of going out onto a Scottish loch. Alternatively you can kayak in the middle of England. Wherever you choose, all venues suit beginners and those wanting to brush up on their skills.

Rediscover your sense of adventure - and what it's like to be soaked to the skin! Canyoning is a truly all-round adventure experience, following a natural water course through a precipitous canyon. To start off with you'll have a safety briefing with your instructor and get kitted out with the right equipment. Then after a short walk to the top of the beautiful Allt' a Bhealaich Gorge, you'll follow the natural water course down through the gorge, descending waterfalls, sliding down natural water flumes, scrambling down gorges and jumping into deep, clear rock pools. In some sections you'll use harnesses and ropes to get down, all safely controlled by your instructor. This is a challenging, exciting and very physical experience and you might get a few bumps along the way, but there's a path running along the length of the canyon, so no part of the descent is compulsory - you can always take the path instead.
