Ever wondered how Bond, Bourne, or Croft would date?
And do you think they’d ever let a chilly Autumn day dampen their quest for adrenaline-fuelled dating? Never! So if you fancy dating like the action movies, here are some heart pumping sporty date ideas for the fast movin’ fitness-lovers amongst you. Yeah!
Parkour
Have you ever watched those brave people leaping from building to building like some sort of superhero with no fear of falling and thought, “why, that looks like fun”? Well now you can have a go! Parlour Generations run beginners indoor classes at Westminster Academy and outdoor tuition at a number of locations in the capital. The classes teach you about the basic movements, concepts and methods found in the discipline. If your date is as brave as you, why not jump at the chance?
London Fields Lido
Open year-round, this Olympic-size heated pool is one of Hackney’s best-kept secrets and can make a great date location. Located in the north west corner of London Fields Park, arrive early especially on warm days to guarantee you and your date a spot. Strip off, tear up the pool with 100 lengths then head to one of the two cafes on site for drinks and well earned snacks.
Virgin Segway Racing
Love living life in the fast lane? Virgin run a special day for two where you can hop on your Segway and chase each other until your heart’s content. In London the nearest location is in Hendon, a short hop on the tube. The segways themselves are pretty easy to drive, no experience is needed and you’re given full training, so this could be a great way to get your date off the ground..?
The Castle Climbing Centre based in Stoke Newington, is a dedicated climbing centre run by climbers for climbers and is one of the premier centres in Europe. Since it first opened its doors to the public in October 1995, it has grown and now spreads across four floors and caters for beginners and experts. If you and your date fancy a go, book a one-hour taster session. If you’re brave enough, you can abseil down one of the 70ft towers at the end!
Paintball
If you fancy racing through a field and aiming a paint gun at your date’s heart, then Mayhem is the place to do it. Based in London on the edge of Essex, there are 16 arenas to choose from, including buildings, a coach and even a town to hide in. Players have all the latest equipment and double-glazed goggles, for maximum fun and maximum safety.
