- & there'll even be games & challenges too. Full training is included in this experience along with all the equipment you need. Modern recurve archery bows are used here at Stoke on Trent & one will be selected for your size. These are different to ancient hunting-style bows as the tips or limbs as they are known are curved.

To make sure everyone knows what they are doing there will be a group safety briefing at the reception lodge of this archery training centre near Stoke on Trent before an instructor goes around the group to give a detailed explanation of how to load the nock of the arrow onto the nocking point of the bow.

When it comes to archery in Leeds & Harrogate where better to learn about the arrows & the bows than in the grounds of a fancy castle or hotel? When it comes to location all these are spot on. We've got archery at Halewood Castle near Leeds & Ripley Castle near Harrogate. Images of barons high sheriffs & even Carmelite Friars make all these venues highly appropriate for getting to grips with the Medieval sport. Of course back in the day when castles like Hazlewood in Leeds were in full swing archery was all about defence & hunting. Today the only thing you'll have to defend is your pride as you try & hit the target rather than watching your arrows fly way past the mark & end up unceremoniously on the floor... To help you in your quest to become a skilled marksman or woman a team of instructors has been installed in these archery basecamps in Leeds & Harrogate. Every member is experienced & passionate about archery. They all believe archery is suitable & accessible to people from all walks of life & for all ages. & indeed it is a great leveller when you all line up at the stand & concentrate on one thing
- hitting the bullseye. Archers as young as eight are able to shoot at the archery centres in Leeds or Harrogate. There is a good range of equipment available for lessons & there are bows with varying degrees of compound pressure (i.e. how far back & how hard it is to pull the string back to fire the arrow) one of which will be selected just for you. & if you find yourself getting hooked on archery in Leeds you can even join the archery club there & make it a new hobby! Sessions are suitable for both beginners who want an introduction to the sport & those with experience who want to fine-tune their shooting skills. These lessons in archery at Leeds' lovely Hazlewood Castle or Ripley Castle are a superb way to understand what it takes to be a spot-on archer. What's more they're fun too

Breathe deeply & prepare yourself for one seriously fast Ariel Atom ride! With a professional driver at the helm of an Ariel Atom on a race track this Ariel Atom ride is only ever going to be a very high speed affair. After all this is the car that if you can change gear quick enough will accelerate from 0-60 in just 2.9 seconds… In the words of a certain Jeremy Clarkson: " This is the most beautiful car in the world partly because it's so elegant & partly because it's a wonderful piece of engineering." You have to admit the heady mix of good looks power & incredible design is highly attractive
- no wonder everyone who experiences an Atom either as a passenger or a driver waxes lyrical about the little sports car from Somerset. For this thrill ride you will be up front in the Ariel Atom but in the passenger seat. That leaves the only other seat for your expert driver. Having lots of experience behind the wheel of this thing means they know how to get the best out of this...

How do you make Ariel Atom hot laps even hotter? When they're in a supercharged Atom that's how! These passenger rides will get your eyes popping out of their sockets with the acceleration. It'll be like no other passenger car ride you've ever been on so hold on tight out there! A supercharged Atom has 300bhp. Now that might not sound that much in the horsepower-heavy world of supercars but when a car is so light that combination makes for a formidable power to weight ratio & lots of torque. So without all that superfluous weight that supercars carry just imagine the performance when a 2.4l supercharged engine has been squeezed into that distinctive Atom exo-skeletal frame… Yep this bonkers motor is about to go a little crazy on the track
- with you onboard! It's a lot to handle & probably best left to the pros so perhaps just as well you'll be encountering this super fast car as a passenger rather than actually driving the thing yourself. & professionals they certainly are. Expert drivers host these passenger rides in Wales Essex & Lincolnshire. All of them know this incredible car inside out. It takes a lot of skill to get the very best out of this supercharged beast. The acceleration from the standing start is more like being launched in a rocket than pulling off in car. The handling has to be experienced to be believed. & when we talk about feeling the wind in your hair it'll be more of a tornado than a breeze at the sort of speeds you'll be going. These passenger rides aren't just for the big kids. The minimum height is 4ft so even youngsters can have a taste of what this incredible road legal car can do in the even more enticing environment of the race track. You'll be chauffeured around the circuit of your choice for three super-speedy laps. If you can keep your eyes open during your Atom hot laps you'll witness how your skilled driver hits those apexes spot on. Braking early for corners is so not on the radar. The straights are a spectacle of sheer power. & you? Well as the brave passenger you're excused if you feel the need to scream/shout/squeal
- it's practically normal when being whisked around the track in this car.
