Stag Activity Ideas Spotlight: Quad Biking



The brilliant quad biking activity has been a stag do favourite for as long as I can remember. They are an immense amount of fun to ride and are versatile, strong, can go through almost any terrain plus they're easy to drive.

What is a quad bike?

A quad bike is 4 wheeled motorcycle which usually has low pressurised tyres giving you more grip.

It has handle bars to steer with, a throttle push lever usually underneath the right side of the hand grip which you push with your thumb.

Most stag do destinations that offer quad biking use automatic gears (forward and reverse) making it the perfect stag do activity which doesn't involve wasting loads of time learning how to drive it.

Quad Bike Racing

Quite a few stag do destinations offer quad bike racing around specially designed race tracks which usually includes, chicanes, tight corners, jumps and adverse / reverse chambers.




Before you start racing you will be given a full safety briefing and demo. You'll be issued with a helmet, and in most cases, gloves and overalls. You will then have a few laps of getting used to the bike before going full pelt on your quad biking race-off.

My favourite stag do destination offering quad bike racing is.... (drum roll if you please) Newquay.



Quad Bike Trekking

Stag destinations that offer quad bike trekking usually offer an extreme course. This is not a nature trail people, expect steep hills/mountains to climb and descend, narrow trails through woods and scary terrain.

Most destinations will issue you with full overalls, however you are guaranteed a helmet and a full safety briefing.

Before you hit the scary terrain you will also have a practice on the bike with a few tests to make sure you're competent enough.

My favourite stag do destination offering quad bike trekking is..... North Wales.

Where you can book quad bikes as part of a stag weekend package.

Why is quad biking so popular with stag parties?

Quad bikes are an enormous amount of fun to drive and are extremely easy to get the hang of and as this is a one off experience you won't need a huge amount of time to get used to driving the quad, giving you maximum experience.

They also have a good amount of acceleration and when you take your thumb off the throttle it slows down instantly so you don't need your brakes that much!

Courses are usually extremely muddy and slippy giving you that element of control when you're out of control, if that makes sense!

In my mind there's no better motorised activity where you'll just get caked in mud!


Whatever you get up to, 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

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

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

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
