Got balls of solid steel? You'll need them! Step off a cliff and walk backwards down the rock to the beach below. This is a stag weekend activity that really separates the men from the boys!
We love watching the groom when he realises he's got to put his money where his mouth is, and abseil down a cliff with everyone watching him! Those first few steps, as you shuffle backwards towards the cliff edge with your body screaming at you to stop, are absolutely hilarious. Get your phones ready and film him as he disappears over the lip...
You'll be perfectly safe all the way down, of course-for this Newquay stag weekend activity, everyone is securely harnessed before they get anywhere near the cliff edge. Then the qualified instructors who work at this adventure centre talk you through each step. Before you know it, you'll be down at beach level, experiencing a huge rush of relief and achievement!
The views on the way down are second to none, so if you can stop crapping yourself long enough to look we recommend having a peek at the scenery! You'll be abseiling 120 ft down a cliff face overlooking one of the most beautiful, secluded bays in Newquay, and that means amazing Atlantic scenery on all sides. See if you can spot a few surfers as you make your descent.
Abseiling is a brilliant addition to any Newquay stag weekend. It requires a minimal level of fitness, it's a lot safer than it looks, and anyone can do it (as long as they've got the nuts to take those initial steps). The question us, are you man enough to give it a go?
