We have created a purpose-built archery range surrounded by stunning scenery to cater for all levels of ability and make this a really enjoyable outdoors experience.

CHALLENGES

Our Challenges are a series of different tasks. Your group is divided into teams competing against each other to claim victory. There is a series of mental and physical tasks that each team must do and be awarded on their achievements. The easy tasks will carry the least amount of points and the hardest the most. Tasks are set up at varying distances from the star point and set by your instructor.

RINGO RIDES

You sit into the large inflatable ringo and hold on tight to the handles, and you are then towed across the surface of the water at high speed by the speedboat.
