What better incentive to get them active and off their screens and onto our trampolines?

Jumping is a low-impact activity that improves core strength (including stronger bones, better posture and increased leg strength); cardiovascular fitness and cognitive development in children (including coordination, mental strengthening, enjoyment and self-esteem).

Regular trampoline exercise has also been proven to increase metabolic rate, helping the body process nutrients more efficiently and reducing the risk of osteoporosis by increasing the density of our bones.

Get stuck in to some real adventure

Posted on June 24, 2019June 24, 2019 by admin

WELCOME to the first in a series of regular reviews of some of the many activities on offer at Adventure Sports outdoor activity centre in Warwick.

Look out for more blogs over the coming weeks and months – as well as the chance to win a £50 voucher to spend on an activity of your choice.

But first up, Quad Trekking. . .

QUAD TREKKING

WHEN it comes to really getting stuck into an activity, the team at Adventure Sports in Warwick don’t want you to hold back.

And this has never been truer than with their Quad Trekking sessions.

Many of us have done a bit of quad bike riding before and think we know what we’re taking on. But I can honestly say, until you’ve tried quad trekking Adventure Sports style, you haven’t experienced the true exhilaration the activity can offer.

You have the opportunity to get behind the wheel of a powerful all-terrain quad bike and, after a brief spell of safety training and assessment, you’re led through 100 acres of challenging countryside, incorporating slopes, mud, grassland and picturesque woodland.

The quads are very easy to get the hang of, with no clutch to worry about – you just press a button – and a finger-operated lever brake as well as controllable high-grip off-road tyres! This is actually a more comfortable ride than one tends to expect.

Not that it’s about comfort. This activity is very much about encouraging the rider to step outside their comfort zone – and before we know it, we’re doing just that.

The qualified instructor is quickly able to judge the skill level of his group before proceeding to a suitably challenging route which includes dense woodland, harsh terrain, water and mud. . . on this day there was lots of mud!

Our session coincided with the climax of an extremely wet week of weather, setting the stage for, what some might say, is perfect quad trekking terrain. It certainly added to the fun – although it’s wise to, as they say, dress for the occasion! There are no overalls!

Adventure Sports, Warwick, Quad trekking — The participants receive their briefing.

If you put yourselves in the hands of the friendly and capable instructor, you won’t go far wrong – although there were a couple of hairy moments when the bike seemed to be controlling driver rather than the other way around! All part of the adventure, we’re told. And everyone came back in one piece – and sporting broad smiles.

It’s a maximum of six trekkers per session so there’s never any danger of evading the gaze of the instructor’s watchful eye. Trekkers feel safe at all times while also being encouraged to push their own personal limits.

The activity is suitable for 16 plus, but for no other reason than their legs need to reach the pedals – and upper body strength to keep the vehicle under some modicum of control, is also important.

WHO IS IT MOST SUITABLE FOR?

This is for almost everyone who can confidently steer, brake, change gear and accelerate using the controls. They must also be able to transfer their body weight around the bike to safely navigate sloped ground. It especially hits the spot for thrill-seekers who want the challenge of an adrenalin-pumping authentic quad biking experience.

PRICE

It represents excellent value at £50 per person per hour-long session.

Adventure Sports was established at Wedgnock Rifle Range in 1990 by Steve Richardson from Leek Wootton who was already running Paintball and Clay Shooting on neighbouring land that he was farming. Since then the number of activities has grown to more than 50 including Mixed Activity events, Karting, Junior Karting, Clay Shooting (including 20 and 50 Shot Experiences for novices, Sportrap, Skeet and DTL for regular shooters), Quad Bike Trekking, Mud & Mayhem, Hovercraft, 4×4 Taster Sessions and Safaris, Rally Karts, Powerturn Karts, Reverse Steer Jeeps, Archery, Segways, Digger Driving, Treasure Hunts, Junior and Compact Paintball, Pistol and Rifle Target Gallery, as well as a vast selection of Team Building Activities.

The new karting track realises the latest ambition for Steve, who says it is already proving to be one of the more popular activities for corporate training days.

He said: “One of our clients’ major requirements over the last 30 years has been speed related – and being able to now run these twin-engined karts certainly offers that.

“We’re the only place in Warwickshire to offer twin-engine karts on an outdoor track. We operate all year round and in all weathers!”

A (delicious) taste of things to come

Posted on March 6, 2019March 6, 2019 by admin

THE owner of Warwick’s newest Indian restaurant promised ‘something different’ for his customers when he opened his doors last month.

There is no shortage of choice in our beautiful town when it comes to dining options, not least Indian cuisine, so this was always going to be a bold statement.

But I’m delighted to report that, following my visit there on Saturday evening, there is something rather special about Vivaanta, in West Street.

You only have to glance at the menu to be instantly enticed by the ‘Vivaanta Fusion Specialities’ and ‘Connoisseur Fusion Appetisers.’

It’s a menu designed for both the traditionalist (normally me!) as well as those feeling more adventurous in their pursuit of new flavours and combinations.

And for those who really want to put their faith in the experts, there’s a fantastic selection of Specials, including the Chef’s Special of the Day (‘An exclusive dish conjured up by the Head Chef who has used his great experience and cooking flair to create a unique dish that is a true representation of Anglo-Indian culinary arts.’ – Intriguing, you have to admit.)

Even the owner Ali Ahmed boasts his own special – boneless strips of chicken tikka with strips of onion, pepper, green chillies, fresh spinach and roasted garlic in a thick spicy sauce and served on a sizzling skillet.

Others of note include Duck 65 (Whole breast of duck lightly marinated in crushed ginger, garlic and ground pepper, slowly grilled and then served on a bed of Indian sweet and spicy veg); Lime Ginger Seabass (Pan fried fillets of seabass served on a bed of sauted spinach, potatoes and red juicy pepper with a hint of lime and ginger; and Modhubon Lamb (Tender chunks of lamb infused with honey, sweet mango and touch of fresh mint, then slow cooked with baby potatoes).

But stonewall traditionalists are not to be messed with, and there’s plenty of classic favourites – with the Vivaanta twist – to prevent them from leaving hungry!

Ali and his team of three chefs pride themselves on unique recipes, distinctive flavours and a blend of aromas, textures and spices which are showcased across the 65 curries on the extensive menu.

Ali said: “I have a passion for Indian cooking I’m always coming up with new ideas trying to mix Indian spices with western ingredients and developing fusion dishes.

“All of our ingredients are sourced locally, we only use the best and freshest ingredients, hence you will always find me in the vegetable markets in the early hours of most mornings.”

With successful businesses already operating in Shropshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire and Halesowen in the West Midlands, this marks Ali’s first foray into Warwickshire – and he’s keen to spend most of his time in this part of the world.

“I fell in love with Warwick and knew I wanted to open a restaurant here. It’s a lovely calm town, especially for me, as a city boy who has always had a busy lifestyle,” he said.

Vivaanta, on West Street, is open every day from 5.30-11pm and features a bar with an extensive drinks selection, including a range of popular gins.

Special is certainly the word of the moment when it comes to describing my experience at Vivaanta. The quality of the food is complemented by the convivial atmosphere and sophisticated surroundings that add up to a wonderful dining experience.

And it needn’t cost the earth. There is a three-course banquet deal available on Sundays for £9.95, consisting of starter, mains , accompaniments and dessert or coffee.

You can book on 01926 408408. Takeaways and deliveries are available within a four-mile radius. www.vivaanta.co.uk
