The Web A challenge that will help your team improve their trust, time management, delegation and logical thinking skills in a fun environment.

All Aboard A classic team building activity challenging groups to physically support one another in an endeavour to occupy an ever-diminishing space.

The Picasso Picture Show Individuals must work together as a team and communicate effectively to paint a picture that only one of them has seen.

The Great Egg Drop Groups design packaging to save an egg from breaking when dropped, plus a 30 second jingle to sell their package. This is followed by the ‘great egg drop’.

The Land Raft Teams must construct a land raft to transport them from Point A to Point B using only Egyptian technology.

Create Your Own Activity Groups will design and present a new group activity. This is a challenging exercise which requires all the elements of teamwork – communication, goal setting, planning, cooperation, creativity, task orientation and more.

Mission Minefield Teams must cross a simulated minefield using the equipment provided, whilst also transferring a container of hazardous material before its contents cause an environmental disaster.

Human Sheep Herding The team will elect a shepherd who must guide the blindfolded team members dressed as sheep, safely into a pen. A truly hilarious challenge where the team’s communication skills are put to the test.

Toxic Waste Equipped with a bungee cord and rope, the group must work out how to transport a bucket of ‘toxic waste’ and tip it into the ‘neutralisation bucket’. Toxic waste can be used to highlight almost any aspect of teamwork or leadership.

Pipeline / Gutter Ball A fast paced activity that can be customised to suit age and setting. Each team member gets one gutter or half pipe tubing and the object is to move a marble or assorted size balls from Point A to Point B without dropping them.

Building Bridges Groups must work together to build a bridge that can hold a weight and span a short distance.

Ring of Trust The whole group makes a ring using climbing rope, then a member of the group must walk the ring of trust.

Robot and Controller The controller must navigate the robot to the ammunition then defeat the opposition’s robots.

Blind Man’s Buff One group member is blindfolded and has to tag other members of the group – simple but classic.

Celtic Manor is pleased to offer the following adventure activities in conjunction with ACF Hospitality, one of the UK’s leading event companies with over 20 years’ experience of running thousands of fantastic corporate events.

D RIVIN G EXPERIENCES Quad Course Manoeuvre these unconventional bikes around a course with obstacles, such as slalom and seesaw. It is a real test of speed and skill to see who can gain the fastest time without penalties.

4x4 Offroad Here is a great chance to test your skill on a demanding course over a variety of off road terrain. This isn’t a drive through the park but a real opportunity for individuals to experience the might of a 4x4 during your corporate event.

Blind 4x4 It is all down to trust on this one! Take the driver’s seat, position your blindfold and you’re off! Your instructor will guide you around a twisty course whilst two or three of your colleagues hang on in the back and use various forms of communication to direct you!

Honda Pilots This is one of our most popular away day activities.

Speed around the dirt track in these American style dune buggies to see who can gain the fastest lap of the day. Our challenging courses have a variety of testing corners and are excellent fun whether it is wet or dry.

Quad Safari Are you ready to take on the challenge of the quad safari? This takes you on a thrilling ride on an exciting course, the emphasis here being on skill and handling. The wetter the conditions, the tougher it gets but our experienced instructors will guide you through. A true winner on team away days!

Segways These two wheeled machines will prove a hit wherever they are taken or used. They are highly versatile and mobile, a fantastic piece of modern technology and will balance themselves as you turn on the spot and make your way over the 4x4 path. They are totally unique and your guests will be stunned by the versatility of these machines and the fact that anyone can get to grips with them in minutes.

Hovercraft If you want a unique ride you can’t go far wrong with the experience of “flying” a hovercraft. You’ll receive expert one-to-one tuition from an experienced instructor sat beside you as you learn how to control this powerful and unique speed machine around our course.

Stunt Driving Live out your childhood dream and learn the professional movie stunt skills required for fantastic feats of amazing car control. Our instructors will teach you precision stunts such as handbrake turns, reverse 180 degree flicks (J turns) and the art of power sliding. Then it’s onto the rally stage for an amazing cops ‘n’ robbers finale with the opportunity to drive both the get-away car and the cop car doing the chasing.

Lorry Cab Driving The ultimate big boy’s (and girl’s) toy! Experience the size and power of this mighty beast as you manoeuvre around the course. Fear not, you will have a fully licensed HGV driver by your side. With no rear view mirror and several tons of rolling metal, you must have your wits about you in order to avoid the obstacles.

SHOOT TO THRIL L

I T’S A KN O C KO U T

Laser Shooting A popular away day alternative to clay pigeon shooting. An all-weather, high-tech system which closely simulates the real thing. The laser guns have been modified to fire infra-red beams at the clays.

This is where the teams go head to head in a fantastic range of vibrant games. The format and structure of the event may vary depending upon the amount of attendees. It may be run as one large ‘It’s a Knockout’ or two smaller Knockouts depending upon the format we decide would fit best.

Air Rifles With four people shooting at once, this is the perfect opportunity to practice on a range of different targets.

Knock down ducks or boars, a selection of spinners or for the real sharp shooters - try to hit the exploding chalk disc targets.

Prices are available on request and will depend on the size and scope of activities selected for your team building event.

Clay Shooting ACF caters for complete beginners to the more experienced shot and uses lighter-weight equipment for ladies. Each shooting stand will be manned by a qualified instructor who will show guests various techniques of shooting simulated game e.g. crossing pigeon, high pheasant. Shooting approximately 25 clays during a one hour session, guests will have the opportunity to practice before their scores count towards the winning trophy.
