Question:
Son is getting to the ripe old age of 15 on Friday and I insist it to be celebrated with a day out. He's not being helpful but will go along with what I organise. I asked him to come up with a few suggestions for days out but he has drawn a blank, as in he did nothing. He is willing to have a day out, I don't think he's being arrogant he just says ' Yea, whatever' or 'ok' or 'can't think Mum, we could go swimming' so any suggestions please ?
Preferably a day out, 4-6 hours, can drive, can do picnic, live in Lancs, like to surprise him with excitment. Last year we were on holiday in Turkey and we went off a mountain paracending/gliding. That made him smile when he landed.

Answers:

rolling down a very big hill whilst you are inside a huge ball....... supposed to good
Answers:
How about a trip in a helicopter or glider?
Answers:
Zorbing sounds absolutley awful, but great to watch! I thought of a glider flight but probably out of my price range at present. Maybe for his 18th though. Appreicate the thoughts.
Answers:
Don't know if you've decided on something already, but if not have a look at . It's a sort of high-level high wire assault course (not as scary as it sounds...quite) in the woods in the Lake District and it's fantastic, as good for adults as for kids, and I think it's about £18 a head, cheaper for under-18s. I went with a bunch of friends (all in early 20s) and it took about 3 hours to get around. I'd highly recommend it (only thing is we went on a weekday and they possibly get really busy at weekends).
Answers:
Thanks, but no thanks!! I looked at the web site and that made me sweat. (Un) luckily its fully booked for tomorrow, I'll check with him and see what he thinks. I do think its just up his street. OMG
Answers:
When i was 14 or 15 my parents surprised me with an Earlydrive course.
Was at Brands Hatch, driving with an instructor (obviously) on a disused bit of the race track in an Escort XR3i (ok you know i'm not young anymore).
I don't think age was an issue, just had to be over a certain height.
