    Hi,

    I don’t know if this is the right place to post but I’ve posted it on a few forums to get the best result.

    I wonder if anybody can help me. I’m organising a Stag’s for my mate (I’m the Best Man) in August/September and I’m looking for ideas and suggestions as what to do. I was thinking about maybe doing Quad-biking or something like that, I’m not really into paintballing as we’ve all done it before, but I’m totally up for and suggestions, especially if someone has done the activity themselves. We’re all from Dublin so we’ll be looking to head down the country somewhere. The thing is though, as we’ll be heading down from Dublin we’d need the Quad-Biking place or whatever it ends up being, to be close to a fairly lively town for obvious reasons.

    I’d be REALLY grateful for any help with this, websites of adventure sports places and the like. I’ve done a Google but didn’t have a lot of luck.

    Thanks in Advance,

    B.

    Doesn't cite quad-biking, and off the beaten path

    Again off the beaten path (i.e. in the middle of nowhere), and perhaps more of a family place

    More sea based stuff, but does include power boating.

    A good place to start.

    Give Fáilte Ireland a buzz and ask for the guys in charge of outdorr pursuits. There is a section there and they are pretty cool about sending out information to you.

    Hope there is some use there

    Amsterdam is always a good place for a Stag, just don't tell the bride to be!

    Edinburgh is somewhere I reckon would be great for a stag. I've been over there a good few times and it never disappoints. One of the greatest cities in the world for going on a session and you can get pretty cheap flights too!
