The Bucket List – Aerobatic Flying
Our last Bucket List, A Silverstone Single-Seater Experience with Badger GP, was a rubber-burning speed fest around a world-famous track. This time we left the ground far behind with Aerobatic Flying. It’s just one of our heart-stopping Flying Experiences available across the UK. On our continuing quest to help fun-lovers tick items off their bucket lists, we sent one of our favourite bloggers to test out this Red Letter Days gift experience. Milly, of Mini Adventures, is a bona fide wanderluster, London-lover and all-round adventurer. She’s been to far-flung corners of the planet, chronicling her envy-inducing activities, but flying a plane was something she had yet to try out. Luckily for us, she…

The Bucket List – A Silverstone Single-Seater Experience with Badger GP
Last month, we took a blogger to dazzling heights with a hot air balloon ride at Bristol International Balloon Fiesta; this month, we had our feet firmly on the ground and pushed the pedal to the metal with a track-tearing single-seater experience at Silverstone! As one of our most popular days out (we have a lot of petrol heads perusing the website), we knew it would be a highly sought after Bucket List and we wanted to pair it with an equally brilliant blogger. That led us to ask: who did we know who was fanatical about racing? Crazy about supercars? And gutsy enough to go full-throttle around a world-class…

The Bucket List – A Hot Air Balloon Ride at Bristol International Balloon Fiesta
This month we truly went above and beyond (the rooftops) for the latest installment in our Bucket List series, swapping the dark depths of the caves at Go Below Ultimate Xtreme Underground Adventure for the open skies, as Lily took flight in a hot air balloon at the Bristol Baloon Fiesta 2017! Bristol International Balloon Fiesta Returning to the city in August each year, Bristol International Balloon Fiesta is the largest meeting of hot air balloons in Europe, making for a jaw-dropping spectacle as 130 colourful balloons from around the globe (including two of our very own Red Letter Days balloons – the true stars of the show) assemble for the weekend. Having…

The Bucket List – Go Below Ultimate Xtreme Underground Adventure
We know better than anybody that there’s more to life than work-sleep-work. To that end, we’re determined to help the nation fulfill their bucket lists. Last month we sent Dan to The Big Cat Sanctuary. This time we swapped carnivorous felines for harnesses and zip wires at Go Below Ultimate Xtreme Underground Adventure. Far below the green landscape of Betws-y-Coed, Conwy, set in the heart of a mountain, exists a subterranean labyrinth. There, Go Below presents a treacherous obstacle course that must be traversed, jumped across and abseiled down, and which includes the world’s longest and deepest underground zip line. It’s not for the faint-hearted. Our intrepid adventurer this time? Kerry Norris,…

The Bucket List – The Big Cat Sanctuary
From luxurious hotel breaks in the countryside, to adrenaline-packed adventures, we’re on a mission to help fulfil bucket list wishes and provide lucky recipients with memories to last a lifetime. This month, in contrast to last month’s indoor ice climbing bucket list post, we’ve continued our quest with a walk on the wild side, at WHF Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent. About The Big Cat Sanctuary Set in 32 acres of grassland, the Big Cat Sanctuary is home to approximately 50 stunning big cats, making it the leading collection of big cats in the UK. Initially created by Peter Sampson and family (owners and founders of The Wildlife Heritage Foundation and Paradise Wildlife Park), the site…

The Bucket List – Indoor Ice Climbing
Although summer is fast-approaching, and the days are brighter and longer, there are magical places across the country apparently untouched by the warmer weather.
