At stag group from the Lake District decided to break a few records on their stag weekend. Charlie Badderley's stag group travelled to central Somerset to attempt 4 records.
The groups first aim was to smash the record for the fastest 100m dash on a a space hopper, they failed with a time of 58s the world record still remains at 30.02s. Next they attempted to wrap the stag in newspaper, they think they have broken this record with a time of 1.28s
The final 2 record attempts were thwarted by Macdonalds and the demon drink. Unable to try to break the record for eating the most hamburgers because Macdonalds did not have enough burgers! Finally plans to break the record for breaking eggs against your forehead was postponed due to too much alcohol!
Why not try to break a world record on your stag do in Lisbon.

Harry Judd Goes Back To School
Harry Judd from the band McFly had an unusual stag weekend. The drummer who is set to marry his fiancee Izzy Johnson next month spent the weekend at his old boarding school where the group of 25 had a massive sleepover.
Harry said "The best men sorted out the party, they contacted the school and we were able to stay there as it was half term."
Throughout the weekend Harry was made to wear his old school uniform, I know a few ladies in the office would have liked to see that!

Top 6 Tips on Organising a Hen Weekend In Portugal
Ask the Bride to Be
Remember you are not arranging yourhen weekend abroad but your best friends, so ask her what she would like and how much input she wants in the weekend. Some hens want full control others are happy to leave it as a surprise.
Plan Early
Save the date of the hen weekend as soon as possible and email all of the ladies on the invite list. Give the ladies at least 2 weeks to decide if they are able to make the date, if they have not emailed a response then they have waived there place on the hen weekend. Obviously you need to make sure the main people can make the weekend, for example the hen, the hens mother, you and other close friends so you can be slightly flexible with date with these people, however for the rest of the party the date is the date, if they can make it great if not shame - do not allow people to bully you into changing dates stay strong!
Location, Location, Location
Source a location that is within everyone's budget and where you can get the most for your money. There is no point in paying £300 on flights and accommodation if you cannot afford to do anything when you arrive. Lisbon is great Hen Do destination as it offers an affordable hen weekend location.
Ask for help
If you are finding the whole planning of the weekend a nightmare and you have ten million deadlines you must hit at work, why not ask a company like Pink Monkey Stag and Hen to arrange the finer details on your behalf. You will find that the companies have close relationships with suppliers and they often get better deals that you can alone.
Negative Feedback
You will always find that within a large group you cannot please everyone and there is always one that thinks they can organise the weekend better. Do not bow into these peoples pressure, remember the most important person is the hen and YOU know her best. Ignore any negative behaviour and comments.
Boring stuff
If you coming to Lisbon on your Hen Do When travelling abroad remember the important things like passport and travel insurance, better to be safe than sorry!

Mankinis a No NO?
The mankini was made famous by Sasha Baron Cohen in the run-up to the 2006 release of Borat has become extremely popular method for embarrassing the stag on stag weekends in the UK and abroad. Now, however, one UK resort has taken the decision to ban the mankini, fake penises and other "inappropriate clothing" from its streets. Newquay in Cornwall is a very popular stag weekend destination and they have said that the ban has reduced anti social behaviour. Total embarrassment of the stag on a stag weekend is really the aim of the game so if you are looking for a stag weekend destination where anything goes, then come to Albufeira. On your Stag Weekend in Albufeira Pink Monkey will be disappointed if we do not see a couple of Mankini per week, although at times we do have to avert our eyes!

Portugal Hen Party Activities
Portugal is often seen as Spain's little brother in relation to a hen party destination however Portugal should be seen as a great destination in its own right. Portugal boasts over 3000 hours of sunshine per year, the climate is dry and clear and even during the peak summer months it rarely gets too hots thanks to the cooling Atlantic breeze. Ryanair and Easyjet offer cheap flights to Faro in the Algarve and Easyjet now fly directly into Lisbon too.
A saucy option for your Portugal Hen Weekend is a sexy buff butler. A buff butler can serve your hen party in as little as just a cheeky bottom revealing apron and bow tie, you will definitely be able to see their white bits! A Buff Butler will add spice to your party and I am sure it will be the Butler blushing not the hen!
A trusted an popular hen activity in the Algarve is a spa session. There is no better place than the Algarve to relax and unwind on your Algarve hen weekend. You and the girls can clear out your systems in style and make yourselves beautiful for the evening activities.
A Lisbon Hen Party is not complete without sampling the world famous waves on the Atlantic coast. A Surfing Hen Party will knock the hangover right out of your head and freshen you up for the further drinking that will no doubt lie ahead. Portugal has the perfect waves for beginners and you will be standing on the board in no time.
Another mainstay for your Algarve Hen Weekend is visiting one of the many waterparks located in the region. You can all revert to 13 years and hurtle down the black hole at 100mph, then when you all dripping wet you can all rest with wine in hand on the grassy area.
If you are looking for a more sophisticated water based activity on your Algarve Hen Weekend, why not charter your own private yacht and spend a lazy afternoon tanning with a glass of champagne and a crew tending to your wishes.
For the more adventurous hens a paintballing Lisbon hen Party is a popular choice. Can you get a better way to spend an afternoon than rolling around in the Portuguese countryside playing shoot em up with your friends. Don't worry you will not break any nails, an arm maybe!

How To Plan The Most Awesome Stag Weekend Ever!
So you have probably known him since childhood, you know his good points and of course ALL of his bad, you ARE the best man and you have been given the massive responsibility of organising his stag weekend ... feeling the pressure?
Don't sweat here are Pink Monkey Stag and Hen guide to organising the best stag weekend humanly possible.
Plan, Plan, Plan
Sounds obvious but ask the stag what kind of stag weekend he is looking for, a party central location like a stag party in Albufeira or something more civilised and mature like a stag weekend in Lisbon. How many people does he want to invite and what is the estimated cost per head.
Guestlist
It is better to invite good friends, those on the same level as you and the stag, leave out the work colleagues who he drinks with occasionally and definitely forget the acquaintances. By inviting your "close" mates you will ensure your weekend is everything the stag want it to be.
Cash, Cash, Cash
The activities you plan on your stag weekend will make or break the weekend. Why waste money on expensive activities when something simple like a surfing stag weekend or karting stag weekend will suffice.
Date
Decide on a date, the weekend should be close to the wedding date but not so close to create "problems", ideally 5 to 6 weeks before the big day is your best option.
Choosing a company or going it alone
Remember you have to organise flights, transfers, accommodation, activities, transfers to and from activities, meals, bars, strippers that's alot of responsibility on your shoulders. Let Pink Monkey organise everything on your behalf, we do all the hard work for you, YOU take all of the credit.
Money, Money, Money
The stag weekend has to be paid for and you will be responsible for chasing the money from the lads, why not ask the most responsible within the stag group to chase payments or allow a company like Pink Monkey Stag and Hen to chase the final payments from the lads on your behalf.
Boring Stuff
When coming abroad to your Lisbon stag weekend or Albufeira stag weekend remember the guys needs to bring their passports and arrange travel insurance, better to be safe than sorry!

Lisbon Unspoilt Stag Location
Lisbon is a cool, sophisticated capital which is steeped in history, tradition and modern sit side my side in this laid back city. Lisbon is built on 7 seven hills and legend says it was founded by Ulysses. The name comes from “Olissipo”, which has its origins in the Phoenician words “Allis Ubbo”, meaning “enchanting port”. If you are looking for city that is unspoilt and that has not fallen into the stag weekend tourist trap, then Lisbon is perfect!
Lisbon effortlessness mixes culture, history and architecture, but it is also known for its amazing nightlife, considered to be one of the best in Europe.
Start your Lisbon Stag Do, as the locals do, with a meal in the historic Bairro Alto. Most Lisbonites do not eat until after 9pm taking a leisurely time to eat fantastic food with great company. The restaurants in Bairro Alto are affordable and of great quality, expect to pay around 20 or 30 euros for a 2/3 course meal.
After dinner head out with your Lisbon Stay Party to one of the many bars in Bairro Alto. The bars here are chic, funky and cheap. Usually the bars are small and during the summer months very hot, so again do what the locals do, head out with a drink in hand onto the picturesque cobbled streets. Packed full of people including locals and tourists makes the street in Bairro Alto electric and perfect for your Lisbon Stag Do. The bars in Bairro Alto close around 2am.
By now your Lisbon Stag Party should be a little merry and definitely happy, some will want to head home while other will be ready to hit the notorious Lisbon nightclubs.

To increase your chances of entry head to the clubs around midnight or 1am and make sure you dress to impress, flips flops and board shorts are a no no! If your Lisbon Stag Party are looking for something a little more naughty, Lisbon has numerous strip clubs dotted around the city you are sure not to be disappointed.
