Will you accept The Next Challenge?

We love people with great ideas, especially in the outdoors. Tim Moss, the founder of thenextchallenge.org has hatched a plan to get us all out and enjoying a range of new adventures.

From May 14 to 18 he is calling for all of us to have a week of adventures, from simple pursuits such as cycling to work instead of driving or taking the god for a different walk.

Every day, for one week, Tim will set a challenge from his website, www.thenextchallenge.org The challenge can be interpreted by every individual according to their abilities and ambitions.

So, on Monday May 14, Tim is suggesting you Start Your Day A Different Way.

· You could choose to travel to work by bike, or rollerblades, or skateboard rather than car

· You could walk the kids another route to school - even if it is out of the way - so they have see new landmarks and get more fresh air

· You could go for a dip in your local loch before going to work.

Whatever you choose to do, the idea is to dare yourself to step away from the path well trodden and treat yourself to a new experience each day for one week.

Tim will also be taking on his own challenges and blogging about them on his site. He will always publicise his location in case anyone wants to join him in his pursuits but be warned, as a professional adventurer, he will be setting a daring pace.

Go on, set yourself a daily challenge and see how great you feel by the end of the five days!

Jump into some great coasteering fun in

the north-east of Scotland this year

Like children picking treats in a sweetie shop the range and variety of outdoor adventure activities in Scotland is exciting yet sometimes mesmerising. We will be blogging about the different adventure activities on offer with Highway 2 Adventure so that you can make the right choice for you and your friends or family.

What is coasteeering?

Coasteering is a fun and exciting activity that sees participants of all ages navigating their way along sections of Scotland’s gorgeous shoreline. Coasteering takes in a range of pursuits, including swimming, jumping, scrambling, climbing and seashore traversing.

The chances are you'll encounter Zawns (rock slots that cut into sea cliffs), Buffer Zones (the swell drop-offs behind rock outcrops) and Pour Overs (areas where waves push over boulders).

No two coasteering trips are ever the same because of differing weather and sea conditions and Highway 2 Adventure can tailor trips to suit different adrenaline desires or ages.

Why Highway 2 Adventure?: The east coast of Scotland offers a fabulous setting for coasteering adventures. The scenery is wonderful and coasteering offers a great way to explore some remote and hard-to-get-to places set amid stunning scenery. You may also be lucky enough to catch sight of some of Scotland’s wildlife, including seabirds, seals and dolphins.

Who will enjoy coasteering?: Participants should be able to swim and have a sense of adventure but you do not have to do anything you do not feel comfortable with. Everyone is shown how to safely jump into pools or make a traverse so all you need to do is let yourself go and have some fun.

Why not ask about Highway2Adventure's bespoke hen and stag do coasteering trips or coasteering for family groups? Highway2Adventure can tailor trips for families to suit ages and desires.
