[caption id="attachment_2002" align="alignright" width="250"] Go rallying driving in the forest - the best you can get![/caption] Now then, there's rally driving and then there's rally driving in the dense forest. Surely there's no better thrill that hooning it along a wet and slippery woodland track with tall trees looming over you and menacing tree stumps all around? We just love the World Rally Championship when it has forests as its spectacular backdrop. One tip we picked up from watching endless hours of WRC footage on the TV was that the idea is to look at the gaps in between the...

Get the most important member of your family in the frame

[caption id="attachment_1995" align="alignleft" width="250"] Capture your furry friend on film forever with a pet portrait[/caption] When we started work on the new Pet Portrait activity, we were a little puzzled to find this new experience voucher is listed on the Into the Blue site under the 'Family Photoshoot' category, but then thinking about it, most people love their pets more than anything (and anyone!) in the world, so why not have a professional portrait of your beloved pooch done? We've seen some examples of the pictures taken and they really are fantastic. Your average moggy is snapped looking like a...

Do a bungee jump at the London O2 Arena!

[caption id="attachment_1985" align="alignright" width="251"] Our new bungee London venue - your chance to throw yourself off a crane at the O2 Arena. Madness![/caption] Personally, we think you'd be a couple of sarnies short of a picnic for wanting to do a bungee jump and a bungee jump off a 160ft high crane overlooking the swanky O2 Arena in London town has to take the biscuit, but that's just what Into the Blue has just started offering! The London o2 Arena is on the site of the somewhat ill-fated Millenium Dome in East Greenwich. Work began on the arena in 2003...
