Summer means more than just a holiday

Some spend the whole year preparing for a holiday that lasts anywhere from a week to a fortnight, while the rest of the summer passes uneventfully. The summer is about more than just a single trip, however. Make the most of your time, and plan a few exciting summer activities. After all, this is the season for relaxation and recreation. Schedule some short trips and weekend activities for the hottest months of the year to stretch out that holiday feeling so you can face the busy autumn period completely recharged.

If you want to experience that holiday feeling several times in a summer, plan some shorter and cheaper trips to complement your set-piece holiday. Camping is the ideal choice, both as your primary and as your ‘secondary’ holiday because it is far more wallet friendly than other types of accommodation, while offering a range of exciting experiences at the same time, whether you are travelling with friends or family. Spending some time in a tent with a significant other can also be an adventure to remember.
