New feels so good! This year, why not experience something totally different, like heading to a new beach or finding a new walk youve never been on before? Fill your year with new experiences and make it one to remember there are so many adventures big and small to discover, skills to gain and new friends to be made along the way. Try one or two of our ideas or try them all and complete your very own 2019 bucket list.
Walk Somewhere New
Whether its a wander through the woods or a mountain hike, get everyone outside and experience the fun and adventure of walking an entirely new route. If youre struggling for ideas, take a look at an online map country parks, woodlands and areas of interest will all be marked up. Find one nearby that youve never been to before and go explore. And why not try a route with a pub youve never been to before? You never know, it may well become a new favourite.
Learn A New Skill
Learn a new craft, master a new language or pick up an instrument that youve always wanted to play. Theres nothing more rewarding than learning a new skill and theres no better time like the present to get started So, what are you waiting for?!
Give Up The Luxuries
Have you ever spent a night tucked up under canvas in a sleeping bag? If not, then why not give it a try. You dont have to go far to feel a million miles away, and its the perfect way to help you unwind and get away from the pressures of everyday life. Take only the basics, switch off your phone and discover how simple living allows you to connect with each other and the outdoors in a whole new way.
Try New Music
The amount of new music out there for you to discover is virtually limitless. But the best way to find new music that youll love has to be by seeing it live. Buy tickets to see a band youve never heard of or simply head to your local jam night to find great musicians and an amazing atmosphere with like-minded people.
Discover A New Beach
If youre lucky enough to live by the coast (or even if you dont), chances are you have a favourite beach. We know that can easily turn into the only beach you ever see! Take a drive up the coast or just try a new spot you dont have to go far to be rewarded with a totally new vibe and who knows, you might just find your new favourite.
Road Trip With Friends or Family
Pile into a car together and hit the road! Whether your destination is near, far or undetermined - getting there is half the fun and the memories made will last a lifetime.
Go Outside Your Comfort Zone
If youre feeling super adventurous, why not go totally out of your comfort zone and get the adrenaline pumping! Go surfing, abseiling, coasteering, climbing or even skydive for a charity. We dont expect everyone to be jumping out of planes or hitting the surf, but if theres something youve always been a little too scared to try try it!
