Moves are being made to force revellers to pay for assistance if their predicament arose as a direct result of being too drunk to know better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So to keep yourself safe abroad, and avoid hefty fines, make sure that everybody in your group knows how to get back to your hotel, familarise yourself with local laws and try to stay together at all times.

From natural thermal spas to luxurious swimming pools and massages, this is the ultimate indulgence weekend for any hen; partying at night and then pampering during the day - bliss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For &lt;a href="http://www.eclipseleisure.co.uk"&gt;hen weekends in UK&lt;/a&gt; or European cities contact Eclipse Leisure for some great all-inclusive deals.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16895217-113740635841404057?l=henweekends.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://henweekends.blogspot.com/feeds/113740635841404057/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16895217&amp;postID=113740635841404057' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16895217/posts/default/113740635841404057'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16895217/posts/default/113740635841404057'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://henweekends.blogspot.com/2006/01/hens-fly-nest.html' title='Hens fly the nest'/><author><name>Rebecca Messenger</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08031547074268028289</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16895217.post-113697364190535305</id><published>2006-01-11T01:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-11T02:00:41.913-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Hen weekends go the Olympic way</title><content type='html'>In light of London's success securing the 2012 &lt;a href="http://society.guardian.co.uk/communities/story/0,16295,1677151,00.html"&gt;Olympic games,&lt;/a&gt; the country is set to become better known for its athletic prowess, both at the very highest level and for the average person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The growing interest in extreme sports is evident already in the UK, with even Hen parties showing some athletic aptitude. &lt;a href="http://www.eclipseleisure.co.uk"&gt;Hen weekends in UK&lt;/a&gt; are not normally known for their health-giving properties, but a surge in the popularity of go karting, abseiling and white water rafting all indicate that Brits are moving away from their stereo-typical beer swilling, television watching antics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If the 2012 Olympic Committee achieve their aim, the lasting legacy of building work for the games in London should help foster this new spirit of action and adventure, and keep Hen Parties occupied for many years to come!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16895217-113697364190535305?l=henweekends.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://henweekends.blogspot.com/feeds/113697364190535305/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16895217&amp;postID=113697364190535305' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16895217/posts/default/113697364190535305'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16895217/posts/default/113697364190535305'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://henweekends.blogspot.com/2006/01/hen-weekends-go-olympic-way.html' title='Hen weekends go the Olympic way'/><author><name>Rebecca Messenger</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08031547074268028289</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16895217.post-113680089425487029</id><published>2006-01-09T01:53:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-09T02:01:34.273-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Hen weekends in UK just got better</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.eclipseleisure.co.uk/hen-weekend"&gt;Eclipse hen weekends&lt;/a&gt; are revolutionising an increasingly pro-European market by offering a lot more in the way of homegrown fun.

Plus you can dance away safe in the knowledge that you will not have to endure a 20mins walk for a taxi at the end of the night!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16895217-112798486481237327?l=henweekends.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://henweekends.blogspot.com/feeds/112798486481237327/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16895217&amp;postID=112798486481237327' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16895217/posts/default/112798486481237327'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16895217/posts/default/112798486481237327'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://henweekends.blogspot.com/2005/09/hen-party-without-party-feet.html' title='Hen party without party feet'/><author><name>Rebecca Messenger</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08031547074268028289</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16895217.post-112789537540953690</id><published>2005-09-28T01:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-09-28T01:16:15.416-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hen weekends make you fit for the big day!</title><content type='html'>Traditionally hen and stag parties had to be held sometime in advance of the big day to prevent embarrassing sickness amongst new spouses, but with action-packed adventures becoming all the rage your hen weekend could prove to be the ideal last-minute weight loss boost!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For exercise with a difference (and you will really will have earned that fry-up the next morning) try &lt;a href="http://www.eclipseleisure.co.uk/hen-weekend/Sailing/"&gt;sailing&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.eclipseleisure.co.uk/hen-weekend/Quad-Bikes/"&gt;quad biking&lt;/a&gt;, or even an energetic &lt;a href="http://www.eclipseleisure.co.uk/hen-weekend/Lap-Dancing-Lessons/"&gt;lap-dancing lesson&lt;/a&gt; - so the only thing you have to worry about on your big day is a possible broken leg!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16895217-112789537540953690?l=henweekends.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://henweekends.blogspot.com/feeds/112789537540953690/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16895217&amp;postID=112789537540953690' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16895217/posts/default/112789537540953690'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16895217/posts/default/112789537540953690'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://henweekends.blogspot.com/2005/09/hen-weekends-make-you-fit-for-big-day.html' title='Hen weekends make you fit for the big day!'/><author><name>Rebecca Messenger</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08031547074268028289</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16895217.post-112781327144506714</id><published>2005-09-27T02:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-09-27T02:27:51.450-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hens getting wilder</title><content type='html'>Stag-style &lt;a href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/tm_objectid=16174084&amp;method=full&amp;amp;siteid=94762&amp;headline=henergetic--name_page.html"&gt;hen weekends&lt;/a&gt; are increasingly popular now overtaking the more traditional pampering style hen weekends that were favoured by brides to be of yesteryear (well 2004 anyway).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With reports in the news of binge drinking rife amongst women it is refreshing to see that hens do not need to rely on gallons of alcopops to have a good time.
