Spy School - Secret Agent Day
Product Code: P00631

The Experience
Your mission is to conduct surveillance operations, test your marksmanship with guns, and learn evasive driving techniques and unarmed combat, guided all the way by expert instructors.

Your experience starts with a full briefing before you head to the ranges to learn how to fire automatic pistols and sniper rifles, test your skill with axe throwing and use unarmed combat techniques. You can try surveillance operations using cameras, bugs and listening devices, and evasive driving techniques such as J-turns, handbrake turns and anti-ambush drills. Then you progress to the 'drive-in' pistol range, where you fire at targets from a moving vehicle, skid to a halt and leap from the car to shoot the targets before speeding off again.

Vital information
Minimum age is 16. Parental consent is required for under 16s. You must be reasonably physically fit. This experience is not suitable for people with disabilities, although hearing-impaired participants are welcome.

This is an all-weather experience. All activities take place outdoors, so if it is raining you will get wet; please dress accordingly.

Session length
Your experience will last for around six hours, from 10am until around 4.45pm. Please report in at 9.30am to ensure a prompt start.

Fascinating Facts

Spying is often quoted as being the second oldest business in the world. The Bible makes over 100 references to spies and intelligence gathering. Sun Tzu wrote his famous book 'The Art of War' around 500BC, which includes advice on intelligence networks. The word 'eavesdropping' derived from the Middle Ages when spies would listen at the eaves of houses, gathering news of any plot before it happened. In the sixteenth century Queen Elizabeth I created her own 'secret service', overseen by Francis Walsingham, the most ruthless spymaster of them all. Thanks to his spies the plot to replace Elizabeth with Mary, Queen of Scots was discovered. Over the next few centuries, spy networks became official structures for political and military intelligence, using polyalphabetic ciphers as codes. In the nineteenth century photography and telegraphy became import secret tools and by the First World War (1914-1918), morse code played a vital part in secure communications. Spying techniques were radically improved during the Russian Revolution with the appearance of a secret police force which eventually became the KGB and an Englishman, Sidney Reilly became the first 'modern' spy. Indeed Ian Fleming, who partly based James Bond on him, called him 'the Ace of Spies'. Today, the popular image of spies is James Bond 007, but the real world is far less glamorous.
