Off Roading in Derbyshires Peak District – Hen and Stag Weekend Mayhem

Article published: July 26th, 2013

The Peak District National Park Authority has announced a permanent exclusion of 4x4s and motorbikes from the Roych, a popular Derbyshire green lane which forms part of the Pennine Bridleway to protect the special qualities of the national park. And quite rightly so we say. The Peak District is just stunning and it really does need protecting. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t tear around it in a 4×4. Oh no!

Across Derbyshire’s Peak District we’ve a number of centres well away from protected areas with maintained tracks especially designed for motor sports. Take for example our Blind Driving Experience; A superb group activity guaranteed to start an argument between driver and passenger. We’ve 4×4 off-roader taster sessions, intermediate, right through to extreme. How about off-roading with a twist? Our Reverse Steer Experience will drive you insane. And to carry on the motorsport theme we’ve also Blitz Buggies, Rage Buggies, Indoor Go Karting, Outdoor Go Karting, Hovercrafts and Quad Biking Taster and Extreme activities. All on specially managed tracks, respecting Derbyshire’s beautiful Peak District.

You can combine any of the above and you can include any of our other superb activities too to make a perfect Derbyshire and Peak District hen do or stag activity weekend. All you have to do is get in touch and we’ll do the Hard Days work!

All the fun with no drama

We had such a good stag do with Hard Days Knight in the Peak District, and I honestly can’t recommend them enough! From the start, they organised everything down to a tee, making it a weekend none of us will forget. The accommodation was good, comfortably fitting our group and perfectly located for everything on the itinerary. One of the absolute highlights was the Hunted activity - a mix of orienteering with a twist where you’re actually being chased! It was such a laugh and brought out everyone's competitive side, with a good bit of adrenaline thrown in. A massive thank you to Greg in particular, whose communication was faultless. He kept us updated every step of the way, answered all our questions, and went out of his way to make sure everything went smoothly. His local knowledge and enthusiasm really added to the experience and made us feel like we were in safe hands. If you're planning a stag do and want a unique, well-organised experience in the Peaks, Hard Days Knight is the way to go. Cheers to Greg and the team for a brilliant weekend - we’re still talking about it!

My brother's stag do was nothing short of amazing. We've had a myriad of activities to choose from in a wonderful location. Sadly, the Best Man, who paid the deposit for the country house we stayed in, had some disputes with the property owner, who withheld the deposit claiming damages (which were previously there). Once Hard Days Knight was informed, Greg immediately stepped in to refund our deposit out of pocket, so that he can help handle and mediate. This immediately shows us that Greg prioritises keeping our Stag Do a happy memory, and it's very much appreciated.

We had an excellent time on our brother’s stag that we organised with Greg. Cannot fault the experience, Greg was extremely helpful and efficient with putting together a great weekend in a fairly short period of time. The accommodation suggested worked out perfectly, especially with the attached pool, hot tub and games room which were an added bonus. The activities lived up to our expectations and again were well organised and timings made the whole weekend work without any issues. Everyone had a lot of fun and I would highly recommend going with HDK for any stag/ hen-do.
