To give you a bit of inspiration, here are 10 things to do this half term: GO BELOW Go below is the ultimate underground experience. It’s a journey through the Snowdonia mountains where you zip line through caverns, climb vertical shafts, boat across an underground lake, traverse over an abyss, scale a waterfall and abseil down to the deepest point in the UK. ZIP WORLD Fforest Coaster (an alpine coaster that runs through the forest at exhilarating speeds) opened last year to a great response at the Zip World Betws-Y-Coed location. A total of 5 activities are located here including Zip Safari (a series of 23 zip lines through the trees), Plummet (jump from a 100ft tower), Skyride (Europe’s highest 5 seater swing), Treetop Nets (nets suspended in trees 60ft above the…

Snowdonia Style Adventure | Stand Up Paddleboarding
Stand Up Paddleboarding is the fastest growing water sport in the world and in all honesty it’s easy to see why. For a start it’s really simple to do (you can be up and going within 5 mins), it’s great to do as a family as it’s geared towards all ages and finally, whether you do it for 30 mins or a 2 hours, you will be sure to have loved the experienced. WHAT’S INVOLVED? It’s like a HUGE surf board, both much wider and much longer making it very buoyant in the water. You stand on the centre of the board and with a long paddle, you paddle and it’s about as simple as that! If you haven’t been working on your core recently you might find it a bit wobbly at first, but if you start out on your knees, get used to the feeling, you will be up and away in no time at all. WHERE TO…
A Day Out At Glasfryn Parc, North Wales
In terms of what is on offer and value for money, then a day out at Glasfryn Parc, North Wales is one of the best. There were 13 of us altogether, 9 of which were children, it was cold and wet and so naturally we were expecting a challenging day! How wrong we were… The parking is very easy and the distance to the centre is minimal (all important things to consider with so many half pints in the mix). There is one central reception desk from which you buy tickets for everything they have on offer; with boys that have found a new love of karting this summer, we went for this; £6 for 6 mins. It doesn’t sound very long, but in actual fact it is a long 6 minutes and depending on how many people are there in the queue, the whole experience takes approx an hour. Once you have your receipt, head…
