I got given glamping vouchers for my 40th and had a fine old time. Mind you I do like camping, but this is substantually less hardcore that real camping.Originally posted by Pondlife View PostCheers all.
I like the personalised ale idea. I think he's done too many track days already, although it might be a nice trip down memory lane. His Mrs is already sorting a party etc and there are plenty of regular meet ups for beer/curry throughout the year.
Still leaning towards R2D2 or Helicopter lesson.

Had a lot of fun doing this recently which is where they hosted the Olympics rafting. It's under budget so you you still have £100 to do something else as well:
Lee Valley White Water Centre - white water rafting, canoeing and kayaking at the host venue to London 2012 canoe slalom event

Lady Marmalade's parties have a lot going for them, in central london.Originally posted by mudskipper View PostHubby's 50th next week. Haven't a clue what to get him - he's not sociable, and doesn't much like moving from his armchair unless it's to watch footie. (He's already got season ticket). The 'experience day' voucher his family got him for his 40th never got used. I shall watch this thread with interest...
