Clay pigeon shooting

Say country sports and the first response of many people will be clay pigeon shooting. If you’re not familiar with this sport and it sounds a little wild, fear not the “pigeons” are made of clay.

Falconry

The ancient art of falconry. Many of us have marvelled at it during country shows or game fairs, but few get the experience up close. This team building event will change all that. You’ll have beautiful birds of prey launched from your arm, and return, all under the watchful gaze of an experienced falconer. This is the stuff of once in a lifetime experiences.

Duck Herding

The saying goes that a dog is a man or woman’s best friend. Words that were never truer in this fascinating and hilarious outdoor team building activity. You will be introduced to your highly experienced shepherd. In turn, she will introduce you to three or four beautiful Border Collie sheepdogs. Your shepherd, assisted by the dogs, will then introduce you all to a herd of most athletic Indian Runner ducks. She will then demonstrate the ease with which the team of dogs and shepherd calmly move the ducks from one pen to another. She will then arm you with a shepherds crook and hand over to you! And that’s where the fun starts! Yet another amazing experience in this fabulous corporate event.
