For your next much-needed break, ditch the resort-style holiday. Leave days and the Rand are in short supply – so save up both, and then plan one of these adrenaline trips for 2019. Passport ready? Start ticking these boxes
1 TRAIL RUN THE ISLE OF SKYE
The most remote wilderness you can drive to, the Isle of Skye has few roads, many mountains, and miles of lochs. It’s perfect for wild camping and even wilder trail running. So popular is the island with its characteristic ‘Scottish Highlands’ scenery that it ranks as Scotland’s second most popular destination, after Edinburgh Castle. The conditions are perfect for trekking, running and mountain biking. The team from Go Running Tours will tailor-make you an adventure that takes in Neist Point, the Fairy Pools, Portree, and the Old Man of Storr, among other secret nooks and crannies. Oh, and you’re very likely to spot some wildlife along the way too, including eagles, seals and otters – and, of course, the Highland Coo!
2 EXPLORE CAMBODIA
South-east Asia is special. This we know; but for a very long time, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam have been the most popular destinations. Head to Cambodia for your next mission. It’s a place of incredible and diverse natural beauty, fantastic food, and a unique culture.
Of course, it’s best explored by pushing the adrenaline levels with some serious outdoor adventure. Kayak the Mekong river to get up close to the mysterious Irrawaddy dolphins and see amazing flooded forests. The added bonus: paddling will strengthen your back, arms, shoulders and chest.
If that’s not enough, round it off by working your legs when you saddle up your mountain bike (or lace up the trail shoes) and bike or hike the ancient temple ruins of the incredible Angkor complex.
