Experience the glamorous world of international espionage by indulging the fantasy with this great day playing at secret agents. After a full briefing you and the other spies learn some of the skills employed by secret agents all over the world. Heading to the firing ranges, you'll learn how to shoot automatic pistols and sniper rifles. Then move onto axe throwing (for goodness' sake don't try this at home), unarmed combat and covert surveillance, using cameras and bugs. Then try evasive driving - including J turns, handbrake turns and anti-ambush drills. Finish off at the 'drive in' pistol range, firing at targets from a moving vehicle, before screeching to a halt, jumping out of the car for more shooting and then speeding off again. Throughout the day you'll be supervised by instructors who have first-hand experience of carrying out surveillance operations.

Rediscover your sense of adventure (and what it's like to be soaked to the skin!) with this white water rafting experience in an inflatable six person raft. You'll start by being kitted out with all the equipment (note: this is not an experience for the style-conscious!), before a full safety briefing and instruction in rafting techniques. Then an experienced guide will take you onto the water for a series of runs down the breathtaking twists, turns and drops of this 300 metre man-made course. You're in for a wild and wet ride as you and the rest of your crew steer the raft through a series of turbulent rapids. The course is fed by electric pumps, so water levels are consistently high throughout the year, and it's floodlit for evening sessions. As a guide, this course is graded 2-3 on the UK's white water grading system, which starts at one (relaxed) and goes up to six (too rough to offer commercially).

Built in 1911, the Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge is the perfect setting for the first ever bridge jump in the UK and is one of only three operating transporter bridges in the world. On arrival you will be weighed and kitted out with your back up harness, ready for the biggest climb of your life - 210 steps to the top of the bridge. Once at the top you'll walk 150 feet along to the jump zone. Soak up the fabulous views as you get kitted out and made ready for your jump. Then after a few words of encouragement, and a few very deep breaths, it's 1… 2… 3… bungee! You'll plummet towards the River Tees (try to keep your eyes open!) before the bungee rope reaches its return point and you ping back skywards. After a few more bounces, you'll be gently lowered into a waiting speedboat. Once back on terra firma, you can pick up your certificate.
