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.

Surfing is no longer the preserve of teenagers who call everyone dude - because the rest of the world has cottoned on to how much fun it is. On this full day experience you'll learn the basics of surfing practice and etiquette and by the end of the day you'll be catching some waves with the best of them. The experience takes place either in Cornwall (home of British surfing) or Cleveland, and the instructors all hold lifeguard and first aid qualifications, so you'll be in safe hands. During your morning lesson you'll learn all about safety, basic paddling techniques, catching waves, board trim and steering, standing up (the hard bit!), wave selection and rights of way. Then after lunch spend the whole afternoon practising your new skills among the waves, with your instructor always on hand. So come and find out what all the fuss is about - you'll never forget the thrill of riding your first wave.

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.

Brought up on a diet of Superman and Spiderman and always wanted to know what it feels like to fly without the irritating spandex costume? Rejoice! You too can now experience the ultimate thrill of flight on the death defying Skycoaster, the most amazing free-falling swing ever. After being strapped into a safety harness, you and your two thrill seeking friends are slowly winched up and then dropped from a height of 120 feet, enjoying a massive 15 feet of freefall before tension kicks in and the vast swing sweeps you round. Flying through the air less than six feet from the pier decking below, you will reach insane speeds of up to 80mph. Swooping out over the sea gives you chance to catch your breath and admire the spectacular views whilst enjoying another moment of weightlessness before you shoot back down towards the earth before the ground crew safely retrieve you and place you back on solid ground. As a memento of this fearsome ride take home a DVD souvenir to relive your day.

Get your young competitive spirit going with yacht racing - combining the freedom of the open water with the thrill of racing and the satisfaction of hands-on involvement. You'll be on board a modern Sigma 8 metre keelboat which is a really good, manoeuvrable boat. First you'll meet your instructor and fellow crew members where you will get kitted out, then head out to the yachts for a safety briefing. Training includes hoisting sails, helming and practising the most efficient methods of manoeuvring the yacht. Next off you'll be briefed on the rules of the race which takes place on a floating 'race track'. And it's all hands on deck for that - you'll participate fully in crewing the yacht during the race, putting into action everything that you've learned so far. Afterwards (tired but happy we predict), you'll return to the clubhouse for race results and signing off the logbooks (for those who have been bitten by the bug and want to take their sailing a little further).
