Academic? Work? Thesis? Doesn’t it make you feel stressed out? So on weekends and holidays, instead of staying at home, why don’t you get a few friends and go out for a bit of fun? But what are the most popular outdoor activities in the UK? Today, I will recommend a few popular outdoor sports in the UK that are accessible to beginners. These outdoor activities will enrich your holiday and bring fun and relaxation to those who are busy during the day!
Horse Riding
We all know that horse riding is a prevalent sport in the UK. When you watch some sports programmes, the British players are far ahead in equestrian sports and athletics. They showed outstanding riding skills and horse posture results and revealed the elegant, gentlemanly style of the United Kingdom. Not only that, but the royal family also pays special attention to equestrian sports. In 1711, Queen Anne established the annual Royal Ascot, held for 300 years. The fact that this event has been held for over 300 years is a testament to the love of the British royal family, nobility, and the country for horseback riding. Partners may wish to think that wearing horse riding clothes and boots, wearing a hat, riding on horseback, and walking in the forest could be more sensational.
Karting
Go-karting has become more and more popular in recent years. Many of our friends choose to go karting on weekends or holidays and call a few friends to go for a few laps. Karting is extremely popular in Europe because of its simple structure, high safety and speed characteristics. The Kart chassis is shallow. The track is smooth and flat so that the driver can feel the wind speed, and coupled with the roar of the roar, you can experience the fun that can not be experienced typically. Once skidded out of the track, the kart will automatically switch off, stop moving forward, and not roll over, guaranteeing the driver’s safety. It’s exciting and safe simultaneously, so what are you waiting for, friends? Turn on your computer now and book a time slot to go racing!
Paintball
Paintball is an outdoor activity that has become popular in the last two years, and many students have already tried it. This activity originated in the U.S., not as fierce as real CS, but more or less the same as playing water guns. Because paintball is made of pigment, it is liquid, not solid. The organic liquid paint inside the paintball is not only non-toxic and harmless to the body and the environment but can also be absorbed by the land, thus protecting nature! Moreover, playing paintball requires a certain amount of walking and running, which also exercises the body simultaneously. It’s fun and good for your body, so let’s do it!
Go Ape
Do you want to feel the joy of sliding high in the air between forests? Come and go through the trees like Tarzan! This jungle adventure, also known as a high ropes experience, is a trendy outdoor recreation in the spring and summer, and there are plenty of places in the UK where you can do it, as well as courses to go with it. It usually involves climbing up into a very tall tree and then sliding across towards the ground with a rope tied on, so for those afraid of heights, you can opt for a slightly lower height. If you’re looking for a thrill, you can see if there’s a tallest option right before booking!
Skydiving
Many people are keen to play extreme sports, such as bungee jumping, but skydiving is not common in China. So, in the UK, partners are blessed because skydiving in the UK is quite common, and many young people are happy to try it! However, I want to remind you that we can try our best. If you are suffering from heart disease, fear of heights, airsickness and a series of unsuitable for skydiving disease or symptoms of friends, do not try. Skydiving can choose to be accompanied by an instructor (Tandem Skydiving) or jump by yourself (Accelerated Freefall). Of course, if you jump by yourself, you must receive training.
Hot Air Balloon Rides
Doesn’t it seem particularly dreamy when it comes to hot air balloon rides? The view of England from the air is a magical and wonderful journey. Virgin Balloon Flights is a famous airline, communication company and entertainment company in the UK and is also involved in the hot air ballooning industry. There are hundreds of hot air balloon take-off points all over the UK, and you can also choose different hot air balloon experience packages. And you can even spend your birthday and watch the sunrise on a hot air balloon, not to mention how romantic it is!
