Have an extreme Valentine’s
Katie Silcox | Thursday 07 February 2008 | 16:57
Fancy something a bit out of the ordinary this year? Are you and your partner dare-devils? Or wannabe dare-devils? We've got tons of ideas on how to celebrate your love in an extraordinary way. The faint-hearted need not apply.
Bungee Jump
Fall from the skies, and then bounce straight back up again! This takes some guts but will certainly be memorable. There are so many bungee experiences available, such as indoor, outdoor, off a bridge, a double-whammy (one jump after another) – but we think perhaps the best idea for a Valentine’s date is to do it together in a tandem bungee. What could be more romantic than seeing your partners screaming face?!
Sky Dive
Feel the exhilaration as you jump from thousands of feet with just a parachute as safety. Tandem sky dives will be with a qualified instructor. We recommend getting a video recorded of your jump so the memory can live on forever…
Powerboat
Don’t just hit the waves, create the waves with a high-speed powerboat experience. Choose a powerboat for two and fly across the waters together at speeds of up to 125 mph – hold on tight! Most powerboat experiences will allow you to take hold of the reigns and drive the boat yourself.
White Water Rafting
Run the rapids with a white water rafting experience. Feel the spine-tingling excitement as you twist and turn through the rough waters. This is without doubt a day you’ll never forget.
Helicopter flight
You’ll feel like one of the rich and famous as you take to the skies in a way usually reserved for only them. Learn about the craft as it travels forwards, backwards and sideways – not to mention the feeling when it hovers motionless in the sky. Pilots will even sometimes allow you a go with the controls. Flights take place throughout the country, but for that extra special treat why not fly above the river Thames in London, giving a whole new perspective to London sightseeing.
Swimming with sharks
A sure fire way to get the adrenaline pumping is by a swim with sharks. You’ll be classed as either brave or stupid if you take part in this hair-raising experience, but it can be really rewarding. Scuba-training is usually included and you’ll have a chance to swim with different types of shark – dependent on where you take part.
Quad Biking
The ultimate in machines, mess and mayhem! After some safety training you’ll be venturing off the beaten track and through the open lands – as quad-biking’s meant to be. Woods, water, and slopes will suddenly become fun as you confront them all with ease.
Spy for the day
What cooler way to spend the day than training in all things spy-related. You’ll fire pistols and sniper rifles, learn escape techniques and be a part of a shoot out. The perfect gift for any James Bond wannabes…
Mountain Climbing
Some of Scotland’s greatest highlands are just waiting for you to climb. Mountain climbing can be extremely challenging but you’ll be looked after as you trek the rugged grounds. And rest assured, the journey will be equally beautiful and rewarding.
Paintballing
Choose a paintballing experience for two – not your most typical romantic setting as you’ll spend most of the day hiding from and shooting each other. It is incredibly fun though – and just think about all that ‘together’ time you’ll have to make up for in the evening!
