Walk and cycle off the winter weight

More than 77 per cent of people who make New Year’s resolutions have already failed by the last day of January. So for anyone who committed to get fitter, try something new or travel more in 2014, Macs Adventure has three ideas for Spring breaks to get people back on track:

Trossachs Trail

Perfect for some healthy exercise and a blast of Spring air, the Trossachs Trail is a three-day break covering around 30 - 40 km through some of Scotland’s most spectacular sights.  It’s a great way to walk off the winter weight through lochs, glens and mountains of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. 

The four-day, three-night trip is available to book from April 2014 and prices start from £285 per person, including accommodation in hand-picked guesthouses and small hotels, door-to-door baggage transfer, route plan, maps and information pack.

Classic Danube Cycle Path

This is a recommended trip for anyone new to cycling trips as it’s a gentle, downhill daily workout that is relatively easy going but with lots to see along the way.

The Danube Cycle Path runs from Passau, Germany, to the Austrian capital of Vienna alongside the Blue Danube. It is completely traffic free so an idyllic way to see the Spring meadows, mountains and forests. 

The eight-day, seven night trip is available to book from mid April 2014 and prices start from £415 per person, which includes accommodation in hand-picked inns and small hotels, breakfast, daily luggage transfer to the next hotel, route plan, maps and information pack. Flights to Passau not included.

The Heart of Holland

With relatively short cycling distances over flat terrain, this trip is perfect for anyone trying a cycling holiday for the first time. In spring, Holland is covered in a carpet of tulips, daffodils and hyacinths and this route takes cyclists through the heart of this riot of colour. Keukenhof, the world’s largest flower garden, is made up of more than seven million bulbs and is open from late March to late May and a highlight on day two.

The seven-day, six-night trip is available to book from April 2014 and prices start from £560 per person, which includes accommodation in hand-picked hotels, breakfast, daily luggage transfer to the next hotel, route plan, maps and information pack. Flights to Amsterdam not included.
