Adventure days from Red Letter Days are great for a day out with your mates or to beat a personal barrier. Go up high with a sky dive or a bungee jump, get down low with a SAS survival weekend or white water rafting or go out wide with quad biking or a yacht racing experience. There are 111 different Red Letter Days specific for adventures, so the possibilities are endless. There are different types of combat activities including a Full Monty Tank driving experience. It a full day experience in a few places in the midlands. Have a day of fun being a soldier for the day but none of the risks. Wear all the camouflage and the helmet and drive military vehicles over rugged terrain. Fire muskets in a 17 ton tank and compete with your fellow SAS patrollers. The best driver of the day gets to crush a car with a chieftain tank. This activity costs £250 for the 9 hour day including lunch.
http://www.redletterdays.co.uk/Experience/Ref/TZAFE Tandem skydiving is a life must do and get a DVD to remember it forever. It will start as a once in a lifetime thrill but it could turn into an activity that you return to year after year. The feeling is amazing when you fall from 10,000 feet, gravity defies you and you feel like you are floating. You will jump tandem with an expert instructor after an hour's instruction before hand. Freefall is about 30 seconds then the Shute opens and you will float down to the ground looking at beautiful English countryside. Allow three hours for this activity, it costs £350 for the tandem jump and the DVD.

Have weapon training and shoot with fellow agents. Have a go with sniper rifles, air soft machines guns and axe throwing. Learn true agent skills like escape techniques, conceding covert surveillance cameras and transmitting bugs. This activity lasts around 3 hours at various locations in the UK. It costs £99 and includes refreshments.
