Adventurous Stag Do Ideas

Picture this; your stag is more adventurous than Bear Grylls, he would squeeze elephant dung for a thirst quenching drink, he'd climb a mountain just in his nicky nacky noos and swim the channel just to show you, he could.

Well, if you have to organise a stag weekend for this beast of a man which activities would do? How do you feed his appetite for adrenalin?

I am not too sure how wild he'd want his activities and remember there's got to be a limit otherwise people won't go, so here are some adventurous stag weekend activity ideas:


 Coasteering
When we were kids a large part of Coasteering, which is basically chucking yourself off rocks into the sea, we called tomb-stoning.  However very rarely did we go as high as 60ft, in fact I think we never did, if you're coasteering 60ft is one of the mid range jumps.

Coasteering isn't just about chucking yourself off cliffs, it's also about exploring the rugged coastline where you'll find caves, beautiful coves and sheer cliff faces which you have to traverse to get from A to B - it's called free climbing and if you fall expect a splash and luckily not a splat!

Our Favourite stag destinations for this activity:
Newquay
Bournemouth


Bobsleigh
Flying down an Olympic standard ice race track like a Torpedo, if this doesn't make your stag smile, nothing will!

Usually there are 4 people per bobsleigh and you get to hurtle down the track twice, the winning team will obviously get to the bottom the quickest. Would you prefer the heavier boys in your team or is there an advantage to having the lightest team?

The only drag is you have to travel to Riga, "oh what a drag travelling to a country where in some bars the pints are less than a quid and the nightlife is so electric you can charge your phone off of it."

Our Favourite stag destinationfor this activity:
Riga


Bushcraft Weekend
I have now gone to the other part of adventure where it sides on the art of survival rather than exhilaration.

On a Bushcraft Weekend you will not die of starvation and drinking booze won't be an issue however, you will learn a huge amount of survival techniques and should Armageddon come, wouldn't it be funny if you had to explain to people when you were gutting a rabbit or starting a fire from nothing but wood or building a shelter that you learnt these skills on a stag do!

There is one thing wrong with the last paragraph, mainly Armageddon wouldn't be funny.

Bushcraft days and weekends are great fun and are not too serious, you could always spend one night in the survival field and then one night in a 4 star hotel in Swansea, I am sure that's what Bear Grylls or Ray Mears would do.

Our Favourite stag destination for this activity:
Swansea


Canyoning
Slightly similar to Coasteering where you're chucking yourself off high ledges into deep pools however you walking up a gorge and taking in the stunning scenery.

You also get to walk behind waterfalls (amazing), abseil down waterfalls (what are you the new Dairy Milk man?), slide down smooth rocks into deep pools and in some locations slide down zip wires from hair-raising heights!

Canyoning features in our video at the bottom of this post.

Our Favourite stag destinations for this activity:
North Wales
Brecon Beacons (servicing Bristol, Cardiff or Hereford)
Scotland


White Water Rafting
No adventure filled stag do should be complete without a proper dunking and White Water Rafting will give you that and more.

Experience frothing and furious water trying to get somewhere fast and taking you along for the ride. Add a group of stags clinging onto the boat and trying to stay afloat and you have yourself an awesome activity.

Our Favourite stag destinations for this activity:
North Wales
Scotland
Valencia

Stag Do Traditions

Image
In the UK a stag do is a tradition, a time when a man calls for all his best mates and friends to get together and celebrate his single life before he gets married. In France they call it " enterrement de vie de garçon" which basically translates to "burial of the life as a boy or bachelor". Back to the UK, usually the 'stag or groom to be', nominates one, two or even three best men who will then take on the task of organising the stag. They will not only organise the it but also arrange what's going to happen on the stag, The Traditions. People think that traditions are hundreds of years old, but in my mind a tradition is something which has passed on from stag to stag. What are these traditions I hear you ask? I'm just getting to that... The Right To Humiliate The Stag Humiliating the stag is a good one to start with, these humiliation rituals are done on different levels of the embarrassment spectrum. The worst I saw was when

Top 10 Stag Do Rules

Image
Stag do rules whether they're funny or serious are part and parcel of a well planned stag do, and we are about to rummage through the depths of another top 10. There are quite a few unwritten rules, which I have written down? To be honest, it wouldn't be much of a top 10 without some stag do etiquette (unwritten rules). By the way if you are lost and are looking for some brilliant stag do games, go here . Rule Number 1 - What Goes On Tour, Stays On Tour This is one of the mentioned unwritten rules, it either makes the stag do sound: Mysteriously amazing Something has happened and no one wants to talk about it  No one can remember However whatever the reason, it's the most important rule to abide by. Rule Number 2 - Don't Leave Your Man Behind Enemy Lines In other words do not leave a member of the stag party asleep in a club, leaving him to get nudged by the bouncer leaving him to traverse his own way back to the hotel. You can also apply this ru

Top 10 Stag Do Movies Of All Time

Image
Stag Do movies are really on the up, over the years this fantastic life experience (your stag do / bachelor party) has also become a must see movie. Here at the DesignaVenture towers we have raided our DVD collections and VHS tapes and watched as many stag do themed films as possible to rate them in our very own special Top 10 stag do movie compilation. So which stag do movies have received the DesignaVenture Movie Gongs: At 10…. Bachelor Party Vegas  (2006 - IMDb rating 4.7/10) Possibly the start of the modern stag do comedy movie where the stars pack their bags and head to Vegas for a weekend to remember, or forget! This funny film also includes lots of naked ladies and even Paintball guns, how very apt. At 9…. Stag Night (2008 - IMDb rating 4.9/10) This is definitely not light hearted or a comedy in any way, a stag party takes the New York underground and gets off at the wrong haunted station, "STAY ON THE TRAIN!". A thriller which will put you off hav

Top 10 Stag Do Games

Image
Stag Do Games are a must on a stag do, not only will it create a togetherness amoungst the group, it will also be fricking funny. Just a word of warning , we do not condone masses amounts of drinking that these games promote, this article is just a service we provide for people that would like to know about stag do games, which obviously includes a little tipple or two. Chicken Run This game is brilliant and includes dressing the stag up as a chicken. SO, dress the stag up in a chicken outfit then, everyone sticks £10 into a kitty and gives it to the stag. The stag dressed up as a chicken has as long as it takes for everyone to buy a drink and finish it to find a bar and drink the kitty dry - just imagine, a bloke sat in a bar, dressed up as a chicken, drinking alone, hilarious! The group splits up into teams of 2 - 3, the first teams to find the stag/chicken get to drink from the kitty. The game is over once the kitty is dry or all the teams have fo

The Rules To Pub Golf

Liven up your stag night with a theme or game, and there's no better stag do game than pub golf. So here at the DesignaVenture Towers we have been listening to our stag parties and recently we have been asked for the rules to the stag do game Pub Golf . So like the pleasing company we are, here are the rules to this brilliant game that doesn't come with frustration and certainly doesn't ruin a good pub crawl. Pub Golf Rules Rule #1 - Dress Code Everyone MUST dress up like a pro golfer. Socks with a tartan or Argyle pattern if you please, brightly coloured golfing trousers (the more pastel the better), a matching shirt or polo shirt and a sun-visor. Golf shoes are not compulsory but are a great addition. Rule #2 - Pick Your Course Wisely At your chosen stag weekend destination you're going to need a pub crawl route. 9 pubs / bars in fairly close proximity of each other, to add to the theme try and pick sports bars or pubs or a pub/bar with a r
