Days Out

 

Start out with a Grand Prix style Single Seater* with a maximum speed of 145mph - driving at its most raw and exhilarating. Then it’s the truly great Ferrari 360 Modena - the 3.6 litre V8 engine churns out an amazing 400 bhp and you can hear every single one! Next comes the Porsche 911 Turbo; you’ll be amazed by its brutal acceleration and fierce braking ability. You finish off with the quirky Lotus Elise, the ultimate track day specialist! At the end of your experience you’ll look back and struggle to work out which was the best car - we’re still debating it ourselves! Location: Northamptonshire (Midlands) Lancashire, Derbyshire (North)

You know how most James Bond films include at least one great chase down a river? This experience is your chance to have a go at driving the sorts of boats Bond uses (just without the hail of bullets). You'll start off with a safety briefing and an introduction to the boats, and then have a two-hour session in the OSY Hydroplanes. Driven either kneeling or lying down, these are the go-karts of the powerboat world - small, fast and terrific fun. After a hot buffet lunch you'll receive a short briefing on the boats that you'll be driving in the afternoon. Then you'll be back on the water, trying out Formula 4 and 5 catamarans and T850 and T750 monohulls - all of which are race-prepared, high-performance single-seater boats powered by outboard engines. Finish the day with tea, and collect your certificate and souvenir T-shirt. The day is organised by a world speed record holder, so you'll be in excellent hands, Mr Bond.

For a truly stunning day at sea you can do no better than a day's sailing on board a beautiful tall ship. These magnificent and luxurious vessels, J R Tolkien (two-mast topsail schooner), Loth Lorien (three-mast schooner) and Artemis (three-mast barque), have masts over 30 metres high and are perfect for a day of traditional sailing. You'll begin with refreshments and a safety briefing from your experienced crew, before sailing out onto the Solent area. If you want to enjoy some hands-on activity, then there's always a job to do on board, from raising the sails to helming the ship, and the friendly crew will show you how it's done. If you'd rather, you can relax on deck and chat to the crew about the sailing life. A buffet lunch and afternoon tea will be served on board during the day.

Polo: a game that involves hitting a small ball with a long stick whilst travelling at speed on board a vehicle with a mind of its own. Sound insane? It's time to find out for yourself, even if you're not a royal or a snake-hipped Argentinian. And even if you don't know how to ride. You'll start off being briefed on the basic rules and theory of polo by expert instructors. Then you'll have lots of time to practice ball hitting, polo riding, hooking and riding off (don't worry, all the terminology will be explained). The polo ponies are well-schooled and there will be an instructor by your side. After your training you'll change into proper polo gear and mount your horse, and then it's time to put what you've learnt into practice as you both play an instructional chukka. After, you can stay and watch matches being played for the rest of the day. Fast-paced, skilful and with the fantastic sound effect of thundering hooves, polo is a great sport to play and to watch.
