yeah having spent many weekends between llangollen/bala/mile end mill area of wales from years of canoeing, if your looking for a decent night out with pubs/clubs etc.... you'll need to head to chester/wrexham. the places in wales near the activity centres are big villages/small towns, so mainly just pubs in the area.

if your spending the money to go rafting def go to trewryn centre as said before it has a dam release for the water. mile end mill is practically flat and it'll be proper low and much more rock bashing than 'white water'.

It does however mean we'd be travelling over on the Friday, having a night in Chester getting up and spending another hour travel to go rafting then the same back to chester .

Does that sound like a good plan?
Sounds like a plan to me. Google Platinum Lounge for casino / ladies

Accomodation is now booked in Chester, we've got £90 per person for the weekend including parking/bed and breakfast adn free guestlist entry into Roses (I assume thats a night club)

I've called the white water place, and the only availablity they have is for 3/4 rafts at £320 per raft for 2hrs from 4.30pm on the Saturday that doesnt really fit into what we'd be looking for becuase by the time we're back in Chester and heading out we'd be looking at it been closer to 9pm and we'd have nothing to do in the morning (cant drink etc if we're rafting in the afternoon).

Any other activities/adventure stuff which can be done around the Chester/North East Wales area.
All suggestions welcome although we've agreed that Paintball and Go-Karting are out of the question along with anything like climbing or absailing - I dont do ropes + height.

Riding unaccompanied on the escalators in Browns... lets see a knee down moment there.

Skip the activities stuff and go to the races and then out in Chester. The early May meeting at Chester is great (live on Channel 4 with all the top jockeys, Dettori etc). Plus Chester is buzzing in the evening after the races. Oh and +1 for the Platinum Lounge, did this after the racing for my brother in laws stag do (allegedly )
