3 Naturally High Stag Do Ideas

On a stag do you're going to get lots of highs and lows, from the lows; of the last morning when you feeling more sick than a hypochondriac standing in the middle of Paddington train station at rush-hour, to the highs; of downing 5 flaming Sambucas.

But what about searching out for that natural high, the high that won't give you a comedown or hangover.

According to this GQ article, swimming in wetsuits in cold water will give you a buzz which will last the complete day, I also think coupled with an adrenaline fuelled activity you're onto a winner.

So which stag do activities can you include wetsuits and cold water?

 Well I am glad you asked as I have some awesome stag do ideas which will give you that buzz to last the whole stag weekend...


A blue raft splashing in white water

White Water Rafting

Any fast moving water will be cold especially in the hills of North Wales or the Scottish highlands.

So my first recommendation would be white water rafting at our sites in either North Wales (if you're looking for a more rural weekend) or The Scottish Highlands and party in Edinburgh.

Not only will you get wetsuits, buoyancy aids and a paddle you'll also get the chance to swim in the freezing cold rivers whether you choose to or your boat gets capsized, well let's face it, you are on a stag do so it's highly likely you'll be in an upturned raft at once stage or other!

Embrace the cold water and swim of at least a couple of minutes giving you that natural high.

Best places in the UK:
North Wales
1.30hrs from Edinburgh, Scottish Highlands

3 men from a stag party seeing if it's safe to jump whilst canyoning

Canyoning

Gushing rivers form a spectacular gorge you and your stag party can explore. Walking behind waterfalls, jumping into deep pools and abseiling/ zip wiring across ravines are all activities you could be enjoying.

Whether it's the summer, winter, autumn or spring Canyoning is an incredible stag do activity and will give the boys a buzz all the way through the weekend.

You'll be provided with: A wetsuit, buoyancy aid and helmet.

You'll need to bring with you: Trainers you don't mind getting getting wet, swimwear to wear under your wetsuit and a towel.

Best places in the UK:
North Wales
South Wales (also close to Swansea, Bristol, Cardiff, Cheltenham & Hereford)
Scottish Highlands (1.30hrs from Edinburgh)


2 men on a stag do Coasteering and jumping into deep pools

Coasteering

Similar to Canyoning but this time you're on the coast exploring the rugged Cornish or Dorset coastline, where you'll find caves to explore and swim into and high ledges where you can jump off into deep pools, obviously when the tides in!

As with all these activities specialised clothing and safety equipment is included just bring trainers you don't mind getting wet, swimwear to wear under your wetsuit, a towel and balls of steel.

Best places in the UK:
Newquay, Cornwall
Bournemouth, Dorset


Whatever you do on your stag do, have a good one!

Good luck

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 Stag Do Challenges

Image
Not to be confused with pranks and games, stag do challenges is a whole new ball game. Stag Do Challenges consist of the stag (groom-to-be) being set a number of tasks over his stag weekend or night which he must complete, if he doesn't there's a forfeit which is usually drinking his own weight in wine or something, but that's up to your group. Below I have put together a do-able list of 27 stag do challenges, you can pick the best ones or try and get him to do them all (on occasions, we will add to this list). All at the same time, the stag must purchase a porn magazine, hand cream and some tissues - this must be done without an explanation and without a smirk on his face. (I have a friend who bought a tub of vaseline for his chapped lips and a cucumber for his mum, totally unaware of what his 2 shopping items looked like travelling down the conveyor belt to the check out!). Get a kiss from a MILF who must be clearly over the age of 50. Beat a total str

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
