Adventurous Encounters – singles adventure weekend

If you’re looking for a singles event with a difference…you’ve found the right place. This is not a traditional ‘dating event’ – it’s 2 days of unaldulturated adventure and inspirational experiences on a beautiful National Park coastline, all shared with a group of like minded single adventure seekers. 

You’ll find yourself leaping from vertical rock faces, kayaking into caves that echo with the songs of seals, frolicking on a deserted moonlit beach, and stargazing around a bonfire under a picture perfect night sky.

After many years of guests making lifelong friendships, hooking up and even getting married after their adventures with us we decided to make a dedicated event for those looking for fun times, friendship…and maybe even love

This singles adventure weekend offers the perfect opportunity to experience unique and exciting adventure activities under the expert guidance of our professional instructors.  You’ll be well looked after by our team of friendly staff, and enjoy excellent hospitality at our fully catered 5 star eco lodge.

When does this event take place?

This special Valentines event takes place on the weekend 10th – 12th February 2012.  We’ll be offering this in the future as a mid week adventure holiday for singles on the dates 11th – 15th June and the 3rd – 7th September 2012.

What happens on the weekend?

Friday Arrive at the Preseli Venture eco lodge in time for supper.  This evening our dedicated staff will be on hand to help you settle into the lodge and meet your fellow adventurers; it’s easy to get to know everyone in such a relaxed and fun atmosphere.  Enjoy some drinks at the eco lodge bar, play some pool, or perhaps take a walk through the National Trust woodland down to our local beach, a beautiful sandy bay where seals sometimes sleep.

Saturday Breakfast followed by a half day coasteering, the ultimate coastal adventure – climb, swim and jump into a whole new world.  Sea caves and swirling ocean swells combine to produce a truly wild environment.  Watch out, it’s addictive! Lunch at the lodge, and then a half day of sea kayaking along the Pembrokeshire coastline, a place where rocks, caves, seals, birds, waves, surf, beaches, harbours and much more make our coast a real sea kayaker’s paradise, or try your hand at a half day surfing on one of our Pembrokeshire beach breaks, basing yourself at a beautiful sandy beach.

Sunday Breakfast, followed by a self guided coastal walk, we have the world renowned Pembrokeshire National Park Coastal Path on the very western tip of Europe right on our doorstep.  Unwind amidst the spectacular cliff top scenery and chill out amongst the wild flowers – it’s the perfect accompaniment to the adrenalin charged adventure activities.

NB This is an outline itinerary, and is therefore subject to change according to your own preferences and to weather and tides. Please contact us if you have any questions or requests.

What can we do in the evenings?

Don’t worry, there’ll be no speed dating itinerary!  The evenings are chilled and fun with no fixed timetable.  Our new bar and dining area has a pool table and an incredible music system which you can plug your ipod straight into, we also have spotify premium.  The PV bar is well stocked with a wide range of tipples to suit everyone, including local and organic brews.  We’ll have a bonfire under the stars here at the lodge, take a wander through the woods down to our local beach, and if you want to sample the local, small and friendly hill top village of Mathry, it’s just a short walk from the lodge and will give you a real taste of rural Welsh life.  From here you can look out over the Preseli Hills; the source of the ‘bluestone’ of Stonehenge.

Are there any participant restrictions?

On this Adventurous Encounters singles adventure weekend we welcome adults of 18 years and over.  The activities are open to everyone, you don’t need to have previous experience and you don’t need to be particularly outdoorsy, just come equipped with a go for it attitude and a sense of fun!  Participants should have a reasonable general level of fitness and will be asked to fill in a medical declaration form on arrival at the lodge.  All participants need to be able to swim to take part in the water-based activities.
