Chocks Away! Stag and Hen fun in Derbyshires Peak District

Article published: October 17th, 2013

If you didn’t know, the legendary Dambusters crew trained for their epic mission at Derwent Dam, set in the heart of Derbyshire’s Peak District. Last week, airmen from RAF 617 Squadron, the Squadron that undertook the daring raid, returned to Derwent Dam as part of a grueling charity quest. The unit are currently undertaking a week-long challenge to run 700 miles to raise money for the Leonard Cheshire Disability charity, whose founder was commander of 617 Squadron. Good luck chaps.

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.
