New Year New You – And The Kids Too

Article published: January 10th, 2012

We’re hoping it’s still OK to wish you a Happy New Year. January is always a time for reflection for many people. It’s the whole ‘New Year, New Me’ scenario and lots of us reflect on our sedentary lifestyles, recent unhealthy living and put those new years resolutions into action. Anything from joining ‘that’ gym to going on ‘that’ diet. But let’s not forget the kids though!

Healthy and active-living lifestyle habits are often rooted in childhood and today’s little people are renowned for immersing themselves in video game and Internet culture, often spending hour after hour of valuable spare time using technology rather than enjoying an active lifestyle outside. That’s why throughout January, Hard Day’s Knight is devoting a lot of time to our magnificent little people. We’ll be focusing on outdoor activities for children, including kids party ideas in Derbyshire and Staffordshire that are crammed with exciting, adrenaline-fueled activities. Activities that will see them burn those calories, wear themselves out, as well as bond with their friends having a thoroughly great time.

Hard Days Knight carries an array of activities just for kids including: Boot Camp, Bushcraft & Survival, Clay Pigeon Shooting, Go Karting, Watersports and much, much more; all activities that will get them outside and get them active. And if it’s computer games they’re craving, then our Jungle Laser Combat has resulted in many a child exclaiming that “it’s just like a real video game”. Well it is. Only better!

So here’s to the kids! And here’s to a healthy and active January, just for them!

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.
