So your mate’s stag do is just around the corner and you want to give him the single life send off to send all send offs off. Unfortunately (or perhaps, for our livers, fortunately) the popularity of boozy weekends burnt and broken on English speaking Spanish islands is on the wane; indeed, an all nighter of jager bombs and shame just doesn’t cut it these days.
Yep, for those seeking a high which isn’t illegal, the best way to awesomise the event is by indulging in some adrenaline fueled stag activities. So, move over booze and misbehaviour, a rush like no other is on its way, with this; the adrenaline junkie’s guide to the IDEAL epic stag weekend.
FREE FALL
Want to know how jumping from an airplane feels like? Getting into a free fall simulator could provide the answers – and with none of the risk of splattering on the floor. Get ready to face winds speeds of over 150 kmph; just be careful that your face doesn’t set in G-force mode, or those wedding photos are ruined. It’s true, free falling with the lads will leave them pumped for the action to follow and the pub chatter will only get livelier when you share the videos of all the spills and thrills.
BOBSLEIGH
Not purely the preserve of Cool Runnings this, and nope, you don’t have to be totally bonkers to hop in a tin cart and zip around at mind numbing speeds. If an epic stag do is making you thirsty, then bobsleighing will totally slake it.
Perfect for a group of four, this winter sport is the thing for those with a need for speed, leaving you buzzing (and maybe a little unsteady) even before touching the first pint of the day. Hurtling down the ramp at great speed is enough to turn the toughest lads into pulp, and the thought of no brakes will churn even the most stern of stomachs. A big yes, then, for those wanting to push the extremities of what they can handle.
CLIFF DIVING
When it comes to adrenaline induced fun, cliff diving is at the peak of activities for your mate’s stag weekend, peering over nervously. Sure, the thought of spending the rest of your life with the same person may induce a jump, but rest assured, safety provisions are in place to prevent any unfortunate accidents. Indeed, cliff diving is a seriously dangerous sport, but with experts on hand to assist, there’s no excuses for not taking the plunge. And that goes for your saying ‘I do’, too.
JOUSTING
Lance up, the stags are coming! Your ‘Knights of the Stag Brotherhood’ will thoroughly enjoy this activity. Imagine a bloke charging at you with the sole purpose to inflict pain and shame; erm, okay, that sounds bloody awful, but that’s jousting for you.
Who knew this medieval sport could be such a thrill? Or that it was even a thing? The modern twist to it is the motorised ‘horse’ and thick padding to protect you and your, ahem, assets when battle commences. If you have a mate you secretly hate (and don’t we all?) then this is the perfect excuse to skewer him and escape police charges. Result!
