Went on this amazing trip yesterday 18/07/2020. From start to finish it was well organised. On the way we stopped for breakfast which was large with unlimited tea and coffee. We also stayed their on the way back home and for just £12.00 you had main course and desert which again very large portions and served by two very nice members of staff. The horse riding activity was excellent and again the staff at the stables were all lovely. Hello to Mary. They had a very warm and friendly approach and you could tell how much they loved their horses which were all well looked after. The walk along the cliffs is not for those with a fear of heights, saying that once you are up there the views are second to none and surely took my breath away. Just seeing the wild horses and the valley below us with its streams and water falls made it all worth while. The horses were extremely well behaved and I totally fell in love with my horse Sky. Now on to George he is the lovely man who runs hoovin about. He is fun witty and made all of us laugh from the moment we met to sadly saying our fond farewells. He made us all feel at ease and although I was in two minds about going to begin with as this was organised by my daughter, I can honestly say I am so glad I went. This was just the tonic I needed... No not gin and tonic !!! I have not had so much fun in a long time, and after being couped up for such along time during lock down this was just what I needed. Some outdoor fresh air and a good laugh with some fantastic people who I had the pleasure of meeting for the first time. So all I can say is get out from behind your laptops and put down your gaming consoles its time for some long awaited company and fun. Thanks George for a great day out.

Went last Friday evening with my son for a taster session. We have only climbed occasionally before so have no real experience. Our guide was very good and patient, we climbed a range of walls, increasing in difficulty until we’d had enough and the moved into free climbing for the rest of the session. We both enjoyed the exercise and doing the activity together as father and son. Cost £25 for two of us. Will be going again soon and might make a regular thing of it.

Flatout Factory

The Flatout Factory drift team runs a drift academy based in Birmingham Wheels Park. Here you can come down and take an exciting passenger ride around the track with a professional drift driver in a competition drift car or even book lessons to learn yourself!!

As a Christmas present, my brother and I were given a voucher for the Pro-drift academy 3hr taster session. What great fun! The staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Driving time in the cars was just about right for the session and facilities good. Would recommend to anyone interested in a taster for motorsport or group activities.

What an experience! I hired the convertible Morris Minor as a surprise for my husband on the occasion of our Golden Wedding Anniversary. Nick, who dealt with me was incredible and we can’t thank him enough for organising it so perfectly and keeping the secret to the very last minute. The car was immaculate and we made so many memories meandering through Cotswolds villages in the sunshine with the top down! Really can’t recommend Revival Cars too highly. Follow our example and make some memories of your own!

I have never seen such a spectacular display before at any Zoo. The wild flight bird display is a real highlight. It is so good to see such majestic and incredible birds flying free (bald eagle, Great Grey Owl, Milky Eagle Owl, barn owls, maribu stork, black Kites, Brahminy kite, white storks, pelicans, crowned cranes, white-backed vultures, turkey vulture, and a variety of macaws). It is the fourth time I have visited, I always leave wanting more and the display has been different each time. The conservation element comes across very strongly and Wild plays an important role in getting children to care about conservation and animals as well as taking part in breeding programs. I have a degree in Zoology and teach biology and this is the real deal. My four year old was blown away - again and loved walking amongst lemurs too. It isn’t a whole day thing - but it will full three hours nicely, more if you bring a picnic. Look forward to my next visit!
