Cheap lads day out ideas?

Anyone got any ideas for cheap days out for a group of lads, 5-10 people. £50 MAX per head.

In the past we have done things like;

Karting = done it loads of times, and they are never fast enough/the fast ones are very expensive.

Bowling = done before to the extreme

Paintballing = no interest, the range is useless and if you go Rambo style running around shooting, then people tend to shoot you back even though they would be technically dead.

In the past we have done things like;

Monitor Olympics – this was fun, we got a load of old CRT monitors and had various athletics themed events with them in a field, didn’t last long though (we should have saved shot putt until last).

Boating – this was awesome, but pretty expensive.

Trackdays – great fun but expensive.

Quad biking - was ok but less fun than karting really.

Drinking nights out – we have done this to death, always ends up massively expensive.



Any other ideas? Must be something cheap but fun, I thought maybe give that laser paintballing a go, seems a bit more upto date. Anyone got any random ideas? Budget is priority as don't want to make it expensive for everyone given these current times!

Thanks folks
 
Wakeboarding? I did this for a stag do, it was loads of fun.
Where in the UK are you? The one I did was near Thorpe Park, on a ski-lift type thing, not behind a boat.

Shooting (clay pidgeon)?

Indoor freefalling? Xscape at Milton Keynes has this.
 
Essex, but mates are Kent also.

Good idea about Wakeboarding, will look into that.

We have done an awesome day shooting before, but good idea as I hadnt mentioned it.

Free falling is very expensive, sure its fun.

Skiing is ok, but done that before too (indoor snowdome etc).
 
I would agree with Raify and look into shooting clays. I had a lesson for my birthday and loved it. Quite fancy getting into it now, it was that good!

I'd love to do some clay shooting. South East Z4 shoot up one weekend?
 
In the UK so no baseball, plus I've heard its massively dull/boring, probably as bad as cricket!

As for shooting, a mate took us to his parents house a while ago, they had a huge field, a clay firing thingy plus some guns including pump action shot-gun and AK47, we bought tons of ammo and spent the arfternoon blasting away!

So a normal shoot might seem somewhat less fun after that.
 
Wrong time of year now really, but i dont think you can go wrong with heading to the beach with a group of mates, take a frisbee, rounders bat, footie, meat, spade a radio.

Had some amasingly fun days like that just messing about with mates, always a good laugh and seems to normally end with an all night fire burning drift wood and drinking beer.

Simply good times, sometimes its easy to overcomplicate things in life, just take it back a step or two.

Alternatively - canyoning or white water rafting, surfing/ body boarding etc?
 
With acheap flight to Dubai costing £239 (link below) and great deals on hotels why not a weerk end in the Middle East - temperatures in the 30s, great beaches, crystal blue sea and more Bugatti Veyrons than you can Sheikh (!) a stick at..... :D
