Pick & Mix Activity Holidays

Whilst out on holiday from the UK Zoey and her friend Hannah decided to have a day off from relaxing in the sun and step up the pace in our WOW ball recently.....

Not satisfied with taking the easier option of having a go individually, they decided to risk scratched limbs and black eyes and got in the ball together !

After being fully- inflated they set off on foot in the "Bubble".................

...but didn't stay upright for long!

Several attempts were made by Zoey to stand, but they were far from any record attempts today!

They had a bit more success individually..................

But will have to come back if they want to beat Joe's record!

Nice try girls, we enjoyed having you!

The bar has been raised even higher for the record number ofconsecutive steps waked to date in the WOW ball. On Sunday 28th JuneJoe entered the ball.........

... and emerged a Champion! Well done Joe - 93 steps; a big enough challenge for anyone to try to beat!

Sunday 31st May: Martin breaks the record for the most number of consecutive steps ever taken in our WOW ball without falling over.........

Personally - i think he was cheating 

Anyone up for the challenge?..............................................................................

Friday 1st May provided Pick-n-Mix with something never seen before - WOW ball acrobatics! Rob, his lovely wife Sarah, her sister Rachel and partner Ash all braved a go in our inflatable ball on beautiful lake Negratin.......

The beautiful setting..........

.....and the acrobatics!

I a very pleased to announce that Pick-n-Mix has been revived ready for the sumer season 2009! 

We are hoping that this year will see Pick-n-Mix really taking - off and bring some more new visitors to Castillejar. Our new exciting activity should be enough of an attraction.......

Zena was the first outing with our WOW ball this year and on 23rd March she celebrated her 50th Birthday with a splash on Lake Negratin - watch her (pretty rubbish!) attempt at walking- on -water on the following U Tube link;

Since Zena's party Kate has set a new record of 50 consecutive steps without falling over - now there's a challenge for you to beat!.............................

As featured on the Activity Calendar the Medieval Market in Orce took place last night. There were stalls selling various crafts and jewellery, street performers and lots of fun was had by all............

A healthy group of 16 hashers set off up hill and down valley (.....and up another hill....and another!!)....in the heat of the evening sun yesterday...........

.........and made it back just in time before the pubs closed!!

The next Hash will take place on the first Sat in Sept - watch the activities calendar to find out where from............... 

Kate spent this morning laying the yeso markers ready for the hash walk tomorrow........

Setting of with a rucksack full of yeso!.....................

Just one of the stunning views on route..................

Follow the white blobs to find your way - Come across a line (Checkpoint) and it could be any way........search - out those markers but beware of the crosses else you'll take the false trail! You never know, you may even come across some treasure at the end!! 

To join in the Hash be at the lay - by opposite the goat farm in Cortijo Del Cura at 6pm on Sat 2nd Aug 2008; cheap fun for only a Euro!

Now there is the opportunity to join in one of two Aqua Aerobics classes held on a Wednesday evening at the beautiful covered pool in the grounds of the Alojamiento Rural Victoria in Cortijo Del Cura......but you'd better be quick, they're getting booked - up!
