Dare I say it...(Christmas!)

This year seems to have gone even faster than any other year has ever done before. My mum says it's because I am getting older.

Christmas Experience Day Gift Vouchers are on sale now and are featured on the homepage of our Activity Wales website. There you go, I've said it!

'Early bird catches the worm' is on the tip of my tongue right now.

It is that time of year (again) when it doesn't matter how hard we try not to think about it, we all can't help but to start thinking about and planning for Christmas. For me, it's probably when Scott Mills first plays Mariah Carey's 'All I want for Christmas' on the radio that I know it's coming is inevitable.

At Activity Wales we try our very best to offer something special for everyone, which makes our Experience Day Gift Vouchers a perfect choice for the top present for your family and friends this year. They come neatly presented in a gift box, including a free drawstring sports bag.

For something a little different, we have introduced our 'Events' Gift Vouchers.

The Long Course Weekend in Tenby, Pembrokeshire consists of The Wales Swim, The Wales Sportive and The Wales Half and Full Marathon. The idea being, that if you know somebody who just needs a little push in the right direction to take part in an awesome event held in Pembrokeshire next year; you can buy them a gift voucher for their entry into all or one of the events across the course of three days, 8th - 10th June 2011. Then they have no excuse but to take part!

Isn't it also a great way to shift those few extra pounds that we all succumb to at Christmas and New Year?!

Aside to the events gift vouchers we do of course still offer our firm favourites, such as Pleasure Flights, Rally Driving, Kitesurfing, Quad Biking, Coasteering, Horseriding...as you can see the list is endless! To view everything that we can offer you it is probably best for you to check out our activity gift search, which you can find on the left hand side of the homepage.

Happy Christmas shopping...!

A Spectacular Ironman Wales

Ironman Wales was amazing. The scenes across Tenby and Pembrokeshire were phenomenal, something both the residents and athletes will never ever forget.

The atmoshpere was electric from 7 in the morning until the black of midnight with crowds of supporters, friends and families lining the streets and cheering the athletes on as they past through their towns and villages.

Ironman Wales was held in Tenby on Sunday 11th September and is the biggest sporting event to be witnessed in Pembrokeshire. The event, which has already become recognised as the toughest Ironman course in the world, challenges athletes to a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride finishing with a marathon of 26.2 miles.

Ironman Wales brought the communities within South Pembrokeshire together and created a magnificent atmosphere that was felt by everyone that was in any way involved with the event. The positive feedback that has been recieved about the support, friendliness, hospitality and cheer of the local people of Pembrokeshire is simply overwhelming.

Pembrokeshire is so very proud of their Ironman Wales and can't wait until 2012!
