    The Bucket List – A Hot Air Balloon Ride at Bristol International Balloon Fiesta

    September 11, 2017 / No Comments

    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

    August 23, 2017 / No Comments

    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,…

    Levi Roots Tries Out The Slide at the ArcelorMittal Orbit

    August 11, 2017 / No Comments

    “Fabulicious. I don’t know what to make of it, actually. You’re frightened, you’re terrified but at the same time you’re having the time of your life. It’s exciting, it’s jaw-dropping, your heart is pumping. One of the best 90 seconds I’ve ever spent.” ~ Levi Roots The best things come in pairs: sherbert and lollies; The Two Ronnies; thunder and lightning. And mega-slides and Caribbean food. We’ve put together The Slide at the ArcelorMittal Orbit and Taste of the Caribbean for Two. Set in the futuristic Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Anish Kapoor’s eye-popping structure offers riders panoramic views of the capital and a curving descent at speeds of up to…

    Food & Fast Cars: Andy & Chloe Experience Life in the Fast Lane

    June 30, 2017 / No Comments

    Fast cars and fantastic food – sounds like a dream day out, right? Well last month Andy and Chloe got to make that dream reality, as they shadowed the film crew of a potential new TV show that combines just that – world-class supercars (like those on our Driving Experience Days) and delicious grub. The fuel for the show came as a result of online supercar influencer Tom Howard (AKA The Gentleman Racer) and butcher turned Dragon’s Den entrepreneur Paul Turner bonding over their shared love of cars, after meeting via Twitter. When they later met in person at the 2016 British Tour Car event at Silverstone, it wasn’t long before they sparked the idea of a brand new…

    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.
