Do Something Different This Winter

Do Something Different This Winter

Are you stuck in a rut and looking for a new adventure? Do you want to start the New Year doing something a bit different? Take a look at our list of unique winter activity ideas.

1. Sleep in a snowhole.

If you are feeling very energetic, how about a hike in the Cairngorms? This trip takes a group of travellers on a five hour hike before you dig a hole big enough to hold you all. Spend the night in your cosy cavern, wrapped up in a sleeping bag before waking up to glorious views of the Cairngorms National Park.

2. Dare to take a dip in Derry.

Walk the Port Path between PortStewart and Portrush in County Derry, Northern Ireland this winter. This 6.5 mile trail follows stunning coastline with breathtaking views. If you are brave enough you can take a very refreshing dip in a natural swimming cove called Portnahapple, which will quite literally take your breath away!

3. Take a hike in Wales.

Challenge yourself with a hike to the summit of Pen-Y-Fan in the Brecon Beacons. There are multiple routes you can choose from to reach the dizzy heights of this amazing mountain range. With such varied landscapes you will encounter Neolithic stone circles, rivers, waterfalls and Norman Castles along the way.

4. Surf the English coast.

When the Artic and Atlantic low-pressure systems build up during winter, the English coast boasts some serious waves. Surfers flock to Devon and Cornwall where the wild waves are perfect for rides and tricks. Croyde Bay is a popular destination, where beginners can learn to surf too.

5. Climb a tree!

Appley Park on the Isle of Wight is the place to go if you love climbing trees. Clip on your harness, pop on your safety helmet and scale trees up to 22 metres high. Young and old alike can have a go, age isn’t an issue, so the big kid in you can climb as much as you like! Compete with your friends and family, who will make it to the top first? A fun day out with a difference.
