Get Set Go Free
« on: September 21, 2011 »
Nestle are offering a range of activities on promotional packs, collect the points and redeem them for a voucher for your chosen activity. Some of the activities are so-so but scuba diving and white water rafting look like fun.:

That is pretty cool. Wonder can you do the white water rafting in Northern Ireland?

The nearest white water rafting venue is in Palmerston, about 86 miles from Belfast. It's 90 points to book on the site which equates to 4 x 4 pack of KitKats (25 points for a 4 pack, so 100 points in total), Tescos were selling the 4 packs for a pound each, so £4 for a white water rafting session:

As good as this sounds, it also sounds too good to be true. There must be a catch?

The only catch is, you end up with a shedload of chocolate and sweets, lol, but then you get a lot of activities to work off the sweet, sugary goodness.

In July i spent roughly £12 on the promotional packs of Kit-Kats, Smarties and Fruit Pastilles which worked out at nearly 400 points, i've already been sailing, climbing, highwires at Carlingford and have booked a canoeing session at Shaws Bridge for myself and a friend this weekend, and still have enough points to go white water rafting and maybe scuba diving. I also have a jar filled with Pastilles and Smarties that even the kids are getting sick of them.

Yep, the kids were away for most of August visiting relatives, so we planned on getting out and about, stocked up on the sweets and points then chose the activities, i only remembered about it yesterday as i found the canoeing vouchers, tucked away safely, at the bottom of the backpack.  :)
