This Taster session takes you on a shorter quad-bike trek around a farm set on the Cotswold Hills. It’s a miniature version of The Thrill package, so you’ll get a condensed feel for off-road riding and the farm surroundings without the full course. Along the way you’ll ride across the farm’s terrain and experience the basics of handling an adult quad in a countryside setting. The session is suitable for families with teenagers who are over 1.5 metres (5 feet) tall and who are strong enough to manage an adult quad. The operator recommends a minimum age of 15, but strength and fitness matter more than age; some physically active children as young as 11 have handled the big quads. Quad biking is not an effortless ‘theme park’ ride — it’s a motor sport with potential risks and it requires a reasonable level of physical strength from the rider.

Axe throwing may be relatively new to the UK, but it is quickly gaining popularity. You’ll find it unexpectedly satisfying — the moment an axe sticks just right in the board is hard to beat.

With safety measures in place, the activity is 100% safe. You’ll begin with an introduction to axe throwing and the different ways to throw. After a few practice throws you’ll move on to scoring targets made of concentric rings, where each ring scores more than the last and the dead-centre bullseye carries the highest points. Over five rounds you’ll aim to score the most points and beat the opposition, then you’ll take part in a team round. Along the way you’ll get repeats of practice and coaching so you can refine your technique and enjoy the challenge.
