What Happens?
Around 10 girls and 10 guys get picked up on Friday afternoon and head for a log cabin deep in the countryside. The first evening is spent unwinding while being served dinner and mulled wine in front of a log cabin. Everyone gets to know each other pretty quickly, and a few silly games are played before lights out ready for an early start.
Saturday is jam packed with activities, which inevitably land you in the most compromising positions with your other team members! It’s amazing how quickly everyone bonds in the quest for beating the other team. From physical activities, including mountain biking and rock climbing, to mental challenges which include rescuing damsels in distress, the day is thoroughly entertaining and rewarding. Of course a Saturday night couldn’t pass without an obligatory night navigation trip (to the pub) and a few celebratory drinks for the leading team.
Sunday involves a quick smart recovery from the nights shenanigans as you are thrown into the mornings activities. The final event what can only be described as a hilarious ‘It’s a Knockout’ competition, with a booby prize for the losing team. You leave thoroughly exhausted and aching all over, but home in time for an early night before work on Monday.
Who’s it For?
I’m a Singleton is for a 20s - 30s crowd of professionals, who want to get out of the city and make the most of their weekend. You don’t have to be a sport pro to get through the challenges, and you can choose to decline from doing anything you don’t feel happy with. It’s entirely up to you how daring you want to be. There is definitely no point going if you’re not game for a laugh though.
Urbansocial Verdict
Of all the dating events you could possibly try, this has to be by far the most rewarding. It does require more commitment as you are away for the whole weekend, but it has so much to offer, you will come back feeling refreshed, exhilarated and full of life. For many 20s and 30s who don’t have the time or resources to organise a weekend of this calibre, this is a cheap way to experience as much as you can in the time possible, and make some great friends in the process (if the amount of phone number swapping on the bus on the way home is anything to go by). The organisers of I’m a Singleton are fully qualified outdoor pursuits instructors and guides, so you’re not only in safe hands, they are always game for a laugh too!
Urbansocial Tips
- Singleton weekends are run in various locations around the country, so pick one that’s near you so you will meet people in your area.
- Make sure you bring everything they tell you to on the kit list!
- Push yourself - you’re in safe hands and you’ll feel a great sense of achievement if you do something you’ve never done before – e.g. abseiling.
- Don’t go with any expectations. The less you know or expect the better. Half the fun is in the surprise of finding out what you’re doing next!
- Most importantly HAVE FUN! It’s as much about finding new friends as it is about finding a date. So just get out there and enjoy yourself!
