Active Adventure Holidays

Recognising this and being able to communicate the benefits and consequences of different transport schemes is important when working together with Councillors. By being able to communicate the reasoning behind schemes in a way that non-transportation professionals can understand, you are more likely to gain at least their understanding and hopefully also support. Gaining Councillors understanding and support is important to help them champion schemes. While involving the public as little as possible may make professional life easier in the short term, the reason that more proactive participation is considered best practice is because it is likely to deliver better outcomes in the long term. Doing this in practice is often made difficult because it is more resource intensive and that resource is often not built into the budget of schemes. Further, involving the public if timescales between allocation of funding and delivery are too tight, makes it very difficult or impossible to involve the public sufficiently such as according to the Gunning Principles.

Because of the active nature of our trips, you must arrange an appropriate level of insurance prior to departure. This includes coverage for included and optional activities – most insurance providers will cover all the activities we offer. We have close relationships with the communities we visit and always use local providers on our trips.

Travel the World With Adventures & Inspiration for Life

This stretch of road was quite narrow in areas and there were only a few places for walkers, cyclists and horse riders to cross safely. We want to provide better facilities that connect with other transport networks and provide safe and convenient travel options. We care about your journey from start to finish – what we call an end-to-end experience, as described in our Customer Service strategy. We are willing to take risks and are ambitious to do things first – to innovate for the outdoor experience, forging new paths with groundbreaking ideas.

Explore places you couldn’t yourself

When involving the public it is also worth considering how to get a representative view from residents and those affected by changes. Low Traffic Neighbourhoods became a much-discussed topic during the pandemic and was by some media outlets portrayed as ‘a new Brexit’ in terms of it being a cause of division and entrenched views. The impression one could get from reading social media would also be one of division and irreconcilable views, however as research about the discussion on LTN’s on Twitter show, it tends to be skewed by just a few users. Climb desert dunes, track wildlife and take flights over landscapes that feel almost otherworldly.

The UK Government has ambitions to make the UK a cycling nation, as set out in the Gear Change white paper from July 2020 stating that it wants to see half of all journeys in towns and cities cycled or walked by 2030. As stated in Gear Change, in England 58% of car journeys in 2018 were under 5 miles, and in urban areas, more than 40% of journeys were under 2 miles in 2017–18. A large part of this change will fall to the highways and transportation profession to deliver. Walking and cycling must be made more attractive through the infrastructure we build and maintain, and it must be delivered in a way that works for the public and stakeholders.

Travel during the green season – usually from November to April in many parts of Africa – for newborn wildlife, dramatic landscapes and excellent birding. Experience a walking safari in Kenya and stay in private conservancies for a more immersive way to explore the bush. Hike beneath Patagonia’s granite towers, explore salt flats and stargaze beneath the Atacama’s desert skies. Combine world-class snorkelling and diving with jungle rivers, caves and wildlife-rich interiors. All our WRPs offer package deals, but some give you the option to book your own extras elsewhere.

Our leaders are specially trained to run multi-active trips, so you’ll be well taken care of. We run safety assessments on all our event catering Hampshire activities to meet local standards as well as our own comprehensive safety policy. National Trust’s vision was to create an walkway for people to explore, surrounded by plants and flowers. It would give visitors a space to connect with nature and learn about history. It’s part of the trust’s ‘For everyone, for ever’ strategy to provide people with permanent access to nature. The benefits of having more people cycle and walk is well known to most transportation professionals, but it is generally less well known to the public and to politicians and councillors.

Hike across Patagonia’s glaciers, take on Andean trails or feel the force of Iguazú Falls. Like all the best companies, Exodus excels at delivering consistently great holidays, something that helped it secure the highest customer score in our survey. They must meet strict criteria, including high customer scores plus uncompromising standards on the customer service available, cancellation policies and surcharging. Discover inspiring destinations, recommended by our in-house travel experts.

The new active travel inspectorate Active Travel England will have a key role to play in that respect. Besides from the public it is important to involve key stakeholders who will be affected by schemes. Some of these stakeholders can be overlooked if they are not mapped out at the outset. Transport for London was brought to court by two organisations representing the black taxi trade.

The same goes for add-on activities – your leader will be happy to point you in the right direction if you’re keen for an extra walk, ride or paddle during your free time. You don’t need to be an athlete, but you do need a moderate fitness level.

High above the mountainside villas of the Amalfi Coast lie a treasure trove of trails where paths are framed by olive oil groves, ancient huts and limestone cliffs on one side with the sea on the other. In this part of Italy, you could be summiting Mount Vesuvius one moment and walking the Footpath of the Gods the next.
