Are you an adrenaline junkie? Do you love nothing more than travelling the world in search of your next thrill? With travel abroad put on pause or cancelled for many of us in 2021, these exciting jaunts have had to take a back seat for now.
However, while you might not be able to hit the slopes in Whistler this winter or go diving in Australia, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy an action-packed adventure right here on home turf.
To inspire you, here are some UK-based outdoor holidays to add to the bucket list.
Plan your trip
Before you arrange your activities, you’ll need to think about the details. Consider when you want to travel. While some are planning holidays for 2021, things are still uncertain at the moment. Be sure to check travel restrictions due to the ongoing pandemic and make sure you know if you can visit the area from where you’re based.
If you ready for your trip must install UK based travel apps in your smart phone.
Also, consider how you’ll get around. One of the benefits of basing your adventure holiday in the UK is that you can drive to most places.
Driving in your own car is safer than taking public transport.

You could even consider investing in a camper van or motor home. This will be an added expense, so decide if it’s a worthwhile investment before you commit. But it could mean you could enjoy lots of cheaper holidays in the years to come as well. You’ll need to plan your finances to cover the cost of the van and look for deals.
