York Segway Experience

A Segway Experience is a no brainer for a York stag weekend. These clever personal transporters can handle the challenges of the Yorkshire countryside. Go on a trek round the adventure park of a grand estate on battery-powered self-balancing vehicles that move as you lean. Be at one with the terrain and move with it. The estate is only 45 minutes from York. Pile into the car or minibus and get on board with the Segway craze that's gone worldwide. No experience necessary. Segway instruction is included, along with Segway hire and helmets to wear on your woodland trek.

The estate on which you'll have your Segway Experience is nestled in 250 areas of lush green North Yorkshire land. The adventure park is in 50 acres. Think wide-open fields and wild woodland. Feel like the lord of the manor going off for a spin round his sprawling grounds. There's your stag do fancy dress theme sorted! On arrival, you'll meet your instructor and get up to speed with a Segway training session. It won't take long. Learn how to operate and manoeuvre a Segway first, and then get up to speed in their practice arena. Once you've all familiarised yourselves with your vehicles, it's time to hit the trails.

Segways are fast enough to give you a nice hit of adrenaline. You'll cover a lot more terrain on a Segway then you would be walking or cycling. And it's a quirky, fun way to explore forest trails. If you want something fun and active for a York stag weekend, a Segway Experience is a smart option.
