We've come up with an excellent idea and are seeking your thoughts as to whether we should patent the idea of not. We think it would sell really well to stag do's as it would save the stag , and the stag group in fact, a hell of alot of money. Not only money but time. We're taking no responsibility for who is picked up but that's down to the group members themselves to look out for their comrades in arms.
Basically we've come up with the idea for beer goggles. Not just ones which work at 2am in the morning ona Saturday night after 10 pints of Stella, no, these work 24/7! Imagine that, everyone you look at looks like a supermodel. Wouldn't that be fantastic. There's got to be a stag weekend market out there?
The next stag gadget we're working on is self-erasing incriminating photo digital cameras.Just click away as it doesn't matter because anything the camera thinks would be incriminating is automatically deleted.
Any more ideas you have would be welcomed.
Having just arranged a stag weekend for a friend and participated personally in the festivities then here's a good tip for you. If you are going to go away for a full stag weekend and return home on the Sunday then I would advise taking Monday off work. If you don't then you won't get much done through the course of the day as you'll be too knackered as a result of the stag do excesses! And I don't mean too much sleep.
Another top tip - and no charge for these by the way - is try and go by train or get a lift. Again you'll be glad of it on Sunday when you have to depart for home.Because then someone else can then take the strain while you catch up on the z's after the stag night.
Don't underestimate how tired you will be be after probably two nights on the beer into the early hours, doing stag activities in the day on Saturday and Sunday, stag night in a club and up reasonably early.
These are the comments from the Tom Lyas group who visited us in April 2009 for their stag weekend in the UK. They had a great time as explained in this video. So if you need any more assurances about booking a stag do with us then take a look at this stag video.
5 Ways to be the best sort of visitor was produced by Cornwall Sustainable Tourism Project. "Wherever we go and whatever we do, we have an impact. make positive chocies, and you can help us care for Cornwall and make that impact a positive one." Given the Brecon Beacons National Park and Gower coast are both special and sensitive environments we thought the same principles can apply to your adventure activity stag weekend. These are the locations many of your stag activtiies will take place during your stag do.
You may have heard the phrase "leave nothing but a footprint and nothing away apart from memories and photos." That's the same principle - basically reducing your imapct on this special landscape. These are the 5 steps:-
SMALL STEPS.... BIG IMPACTS
1. Reduce, Recycle, Reuse - For more information on recycling click this link
2. Get Out of the Car - Walking, cycling and riding are great ways to see the best of the countryside. Leave the car behind and travel by train. We offer subsidised rail travel for our groups.
3. Stay Local, Eat Local, Buy Local, See Local - 641 Castles, 12 Starbucks. That speaks volumes. No homogonised experience but a distinctive sense of place when you visit us.
4. Chill Out - Switch Off - You can see the stars at night in Wales! Reduce light pollution and switch off those lights.
5. When in Rome.... See the best outdoor environment by choosing local companies who know where the best places are to visit.
If you are arranging a stag do in the UK then you will need reassuring that who you are booking with are legitimate and good at what they do. they aren't going to disappear with your money or do a terrible job arranging this very important weekend. Well one way of checking that a Company are up to the job is to look at the comments and views of their past customers. So here's a testimonial from one of our customers who has come back for his second visit , or 2nd tour of duty as he calls it. This was in February 2009.

Here's our latest canyoning compilation video. This shows a number of our groups including stag weekend groups taking part in our canyoning activity. Canyoning takes place in the Brecon Beacons National Park which is the nearest wilderness National Park to London. It is a great natural adventure playground in which you can try a range of activities for stags such as climbing, caving, hill walking, kayaking, caneoing, quad biking, paintballing and more.
