My son and I went on the 25-clay trail session yesterday, Midge the Instructor is funny, patient and understanding, basically made the trip for us. The lesson starts with a safety brief, explaining the gun and how you would shoot it against the clays. He asked us both how many clays we would like to shoot by the end, and we both said one each. I have shot before and never hit anything. As long as you listen to Midge, you will hit clays. We ended up shooting about 30 clays, my son missed about 10 and I missed about 8. It was the most fun I have a had with my clothes on for ages, and to be honest, it was all down to Midge. We are already planning on going again but taking more people this time.

Cant recommend this place enough- it was a great family day out for a fussy family of 6, the 4 teens absolutely loved the experience and us parents got involved and showed the kids how it's done The aqua park is also a must for the family loads of fun obstacles and slides! We will be back for round 2 soon - I dont think the kids will let it rest!

Had a fantastic 40th Birthday present from my fiancée and family. She arranged a flight in the Dragon Rapide flying wing to wing with the Spitfire, fantastic flight and tons of opportunity for photos and videos. And then a flight in the Tigermoth which all blew my breath away, my pilot in the Tigermoth was called Steve and I couldnt have asked for a better pilot, informative and very friendly, enjoyed the time I took control and will remember for ever. All staff I encountered were pleasant and helpful, great value for money and great service. I will be booking in the future and just want to say a massive thank you to all of the team!!

Visited Rutland cycles, Grand Arcade today after my bicycle had been vandalised while parked in the Grand Arcade cycle park. The front wheel had been removed but not taken, the brakes had been undone and it was missing a bolt for the saddle. I was seen straight away and the man was really helpful, he fixed the wheel back on and attached the brakes. He then got me a new quick release clamp for my saddle. Luckily it was nothing too serious but without Rutland help I would have been stuck. They didn’t charge me anything and were just lovely, every time I go there they are so helpful.

I hired a bike from Rutland and honestly the company was brilliant and very accommodating staff. I spoke to a lovely young man- Not sure of his name but dark hair and a cartilage piercing who was willing to wait for me after I came in later in order to get the bike. For me that is exceptional service and I am so grateful as it made my time In Cambridge all the better
