Adventure holidays, Colditz style, Hampshire

Get away from it all - if you dare: If you're tired of holidays where you can get away from it all, here's one which you can try to escape from - if you dare! For 30 you can spend a weekend as a Colditz-style prisoner of war, billeted in freezing cold huts (no fires allowed), fed on thin soup and stale bread, driven about in the back of a cattle truck, hosed down in the middle of the night and searched and interrogated by camp guards complete with German uniforms, guns and watchtowers. Instead of friendly redcoats they'll be nice chaps from the Battle Re-enactment Association with a nice line in psychological interrogation. Organiser of the horror holidays is 41 year old ex-paratrooper Bob Acraman who runs a variety of adventure courses including parachuting, shooting, gliding, assault courses and abseiling at the RSA Adventures School at Weyhill, Hants. Housed in a former isolation hospital the 6-acre centre will become p peril. Bob Acraman is no stranger himself to an adventurous life. He served for 13 years with the Parachute Brigade and won the Army Championship for style and was the BAOR Champion for four consecutive years. he has made over 3, 000 dedicants in over 80 countries. He sees the prisoner of war weekends as a challenge to test wits, strength and skill rather than just providing an outlet for masochists. He believes life in Britain nowadays is so dated and dull that many people long for an opportunity to test their resources. One thing isn't in count - campers will be able to write to their enemies wish you were here and really mean it! Photo shows Bob Acraman in a spartan hut which will accommodate the intrepid campers
