It came as a revelation to me but mountain biking is better than sex ! I was recently told by my outdoors health and fitness freak friend Mark. I know you do Activity Breaks - do you have any deals on mountain biiking anywhere he asked? I get such a buzz out of it I can’t tell you… Well I fixed him up with a selection of activity breaks which I thought might be even more of an adrenalin rush -  Surfing and Coasteering in Newquay,  Mountain Biking in the Lakes or Quads and Honda Pilots in Perthshire-  but better than sex ..well ! Share with me ..the activity you prefer to Sex..

Our steam mad friends rang up again from deepest Kent. When is the steam rally at Duncombe Park, we want to come up for it if possible? Only this time we are not going to drag the caravan up the motorways we are going to stay in style in a hotel or guest house in Hemsley or close by, can you recommend somewhere? Well you have a wide choice from the stylish chic boutique style hotels to cottages and bed and breakfast’s - how rich are you feeling Iventured ? i acme up with a 17th century inn The George and Dragon , Kirbymoorside -only a short scenic drive from Helmsley yet away from the rally chaos.

My mate SJ has not had a man since the start of the millennium according to her! So imagine my surprise when she called me today to arrange a dirty weekend in Edinburgh. I have finally found a chap I want to do it with  she enthused and he works and lives in Scotland. Convenient I said when you live in Leeds but hey !  I want a really swish hotel centrally located with funky themed rooms in case we want to get kinky - too much information - handcuffs and whips whirling through my brain. I sorted her out with The Scotsman - one of the nicest central hotels I know and gave her the address of the nearest adult gifts shop and wished her well. Do you have advice for SJ to make her dirty weekend go with a bang? Do post back but keep it clean.!!

Jules rang - now rather than the usual cigars and whisky i want to do something different for dad for Fathers Day! He is into guns and the paranormal - so either some kind of haunted thing or clay pigeon shooting would be good. I thought the three of us would make a break of it - Dad, ( obviously) my bro and me, ideally any of the weekends in July / August. Well says I Murder, Mystery weekends are still really popular and “Good Fun” or I can do Clay Pigeon Activity Breaks - in a range of places. Why not do the Edinburgh/ Perthshire Activity Break and then you can combine it with some time in Edinburgh - perfect said Jules see what you can do. If you have some great ideas for something different for Fathers Day then reply back I would love to hear them

I would like to treat “dad” for fathers day said the teenage daughter of some of our close friends and wondered if you could help? He would have to pay of course, but it is the thought that counts! Kids don’t you just love them! OK Becky so what do yo have in mind. We….ll she said something that he will think is really cool but that we will enjoy too. I was thinking some kind of activity break .

Easy thinks I with a wide range of Activity Breaks available throughout the UK, everything from White Water Rafting in Wales to Karting, Clay Pigeon Shooting, Rock Climbing and Abseilling to newer sports Sphereing , Coasteering and Surf Ski-ing. OK what do you fancy, where do you want to go and when…
