ALTERNATIVE ACTIVITIES

Mattrack Powerboards

With us the first week in December 2010, these powerboards are a stand on, track propelled snow machine that carves through the snow like a snowboard. Ideally to be used as an alternative when the snow is here but can be booked as a separate activity. As is the case when it snows on Deeside the snow gates get closed and you can't get to the slopes so why not come to us and snowboard here!

Fishing
This part of Scotland has always been a world-class venue, but the mighty River Dee is no place to learn. On our uncrowded loch stocked with good fish, our friendly ghillie/instructor will guide you through the ‘gentle art’. With good quality tackle and a stock of ‘flies’, you’ll soon experience the thrill of that first fish!!!!

Bucking Bronco

Our Bucking Bronco joined us in 2010 and is great fun. It can be set at different speeds to challenge any age or ability. The bronco is free to corporate groups as part or your evening event and can also be booked for private events.

Rock Climbing
One of the fastest growing sports at this moment, and when you try it, you’ll know why. We’ve built a low level ‘bouldering’ wall, which doesn’t require ropes, and is suitable for all abilities and confidence levels!

Axe Throwing
Firstly, we though this cannot possibly be safe! But we’ve ‘risk assessed’ it to death, and we can’t find anything! Proper Swedish double axes, are thrown from 20ft, two handed, and the feeling of satisfaction when you connect is fantastic.

Power Boat Manoeuvres
This Norwegian built 16ft, is very stable and very manoeuverable. Its four stroke 20hp Yamaha engine, is very torquy, and is ideal for what we do. Many of you will know, our loch is not that big, but as part of a teambuilding exercise, or for a group of (disadvantaged) youngsters, it works really well. We’ve got all the lifejackets required, and two of our instructors have their coxwains ‘ticket’.

Orienteering
If you like a good walk in the beautiful countryside of Aberdeenshire, then come along and pick-up one of our orienteering maps. We’ve got a short course for the youngsters and those looking for a gentle stroll, and a longer course for the fit and keen amongst you.
