Adventure fans get out and about

The Capital's snowsports enthusiasts will be able to get their fix as late as April this year, when indoor snowsports company Sno!zone brings its inflatable ski slide and snowboard simulator to Outdoor Pursuits Scotland, a celebration of adventure sports.

Held in conjunction with the Scotsman and Rat Race Adventure Sports, the two-day event on April 2 and 3 has a programme of activities to suit both adrenaline junkies, as well as those who enjoy a more laid-back approach to the outdoors.

One of the UK's most accomplished mountain bike stunt teams will perform with former world champion Ben Savage, while a climbing wall will be available. There's also an area dedicated to bushcraft and wilderness survival, 4x4 driving, water sports, camping and walking.

Tickets are 10 for adults and 1 for children. For details visit www.scottishoutdoor pursuits.co.uk
