Quad biking in Stag Weekend

Forget the smooth roads which resemble airport runways and think about riding bikes in tough muddy roads which test your driving skills and mental strength. Quad Bike Safari leads the priority list of the Stag Weekend celebration, is a thrilling experience and an amazing activity, for which Edinburgh is the perfect destination.
Who doesn’t like racing around at high speeds trying to thrash your friends? It’s just got to be fun. Quad biking is a very popular motor sport amongst bachelor groups. . The quad safari takes place through woodland and over countryside up and down some challenging terrain. Alternatively, if you are really competitive there is the time trial option where you take it in turns to complete a course. The group member with the fastest time wins.
You will experience the thrill of cross-country riding over the testing track. The bikes are great fun and easy to ride. Equipped with chunky wheels and a powerful engine, you drive around a woodland course which includes all the rivers, dips, bends and inclines you would expect from a natural setting.
The event will have a maximum duration of 2 1/2 hours and you can expect at least 30 minutes in the quad itself often an hour depending on location. The quad bike safari is by far the most popular activity and represents challenges and great scenery.
You will be fitted out with a helmet and have a full safety brief before jumping into the hot seat! Watch the mud fly with some of the best fun you’ll ever have!

VIP Club Entry For Stags in Edinburgh

Cosmopolitan Edinburgh is the ultimate city break for Stag and hen parties. Its bustling city centre, the fantastic country side and the wide range of activities promise the best for a stag/hen weekend. Packages suiting the interests and purses of individuals can be planned so that every moment of the weekend becomes absolute fun.
After the thrilling, adventure filled activities of the day which may have been spent in activities as varied as white water rafting, clay shooting, mountain biking - take your pick, the list is endless – it is party time to dance, drink and just chill out.
Edinburgh seems to have as many nightclubs and pubs as the stars in the sky, but without prior booking you will find that you cannot enter one. Even with a booking you might have to stand in queue. That is where VIP booking comes in handy. If you are club jumping a VIP club pass comes in handy; you can just go in.

The nightlife is so hectic that without prior booking one may not gain entry into clubs and pubs. VIP entry ensures you get in without any delay.

A private whisky tasting session which might take one hour, followed by a visit to a comedy club (another should not miss) can culminate in club visits. Hiring a party bus for the evening when setting out in the evening is also a very enjoyable way of doing the night club rounds. The group stays together in the luxury of the bus and you save on the cost of hiring cabs.
