Me and a group of friends are all stuck for something to do, we have done the ghost walks, shooting, tours, piss ups etc

We are all young "professionals" in our early 30's, both male and female and need ideas on what to do. Anyone got any ideas?

Can't fault this, I did it a couple of weeks ago. Definitely want to do it again, though it has made me want to jump out of a plane even more now.

Thanks for the suggestions, indoor sky diving and chill factor are excellent suggestions but we have already done both!! Will look into the others.

Belle Vue Dogs is great for an evening out.
Also at Belle Vue they do F1 stock car racing.
Oulton Park for all motoring based activities.
Try "The Gallery" at the Odeon cinema at The Printworks - get pissed in the cinema with lots of free food whilst reclining on large leather sofas
Three Sisters Kart track in Wigan - one of the fastest kart tracks in the uk - huge outdoor track that's much more fun than the standard indoor tracks
The Green - indoor golf with alcohol
Outdoor cinema at Spinningfields during the summer, at Christmas there's ice skating
Boating / windsurfing at Sale Water Park
Outdoor swimming at Salford Quays
Haydock Races - horses
Cartmel Races - horses
Shopping at Cheshire Oaks
Booze cruise on the River Irwell from Castlefield
Darts at the MEN or Reebok
