Prepare for action

Holidays are all about relaxing, but that can mean so much more than soaking up rays on a sun lounger. Whether you’re holidaying in the UK or abroad, we’ve got lots of great ideas on making a little more of those all important breaks.

• Make the most of the great outdoors by hiking or mountain biking.

• Try something completely new or hone skills you already have – horse riding, diving and water-skiing are just a few examples.
  

• Make a splash! Try some new strokes out in the pool or swim in the sea for an invigorating workout. Pool games such as volleyball and aerobics can be good fun for the whole family. Click here for pools in your area

• Do what the locals do. New Yorkers walk everywhere and the Dutch in Amsterdam cycle to work and just about everywhere else!

• Get away for a weekend with a difference. Try canoeing, summer skiing or even climb, swing and leap your way through the trees of an adventure park. Click here for exciting places to visit in your area.

Pack the essentials

Many hotels and resorts hire out the equipment you’ll need to do something a little different. If you’re travelling with your own kit make sure you’re following all airline regulations when flying and that items such as bikes are well maintained and ready to hit the road! Drink plenty of water and pack a travel first aid kit for any unexpected cuts and bruises. Take Spray Plaster and Silver Healing Plasters for quick effective protection and faster healing. Don’t let a cut or a graze stop you from dipping in and out of the pool, use our waterproof Aqua Protect plasters to protect like a second skin when in or around water.
