Let the adventure begin

Winter is nearly here and for many, it means another year working themselves to the bone with nothing more than Christmas looming and the prospect of two weeks in the Costa del Sol to keep them going. But if you’re more snowboard than sangria, more trekking than Club Trop and more sandsurfing than sunbeds, you need to get along to the Daily Telegraph Adventure Travel Show.

Returning in 2008 with a new central London location at the Business Design Centre in Islington and a new date, 25 – 27 January 2008, the show plays host to over 150 leading and independent travel companies, tour operators and equipment manufacturers.

Adventure travel is not just for gap year students or those with a summer to spare. More and more Brits are now turning to wilder pursuits to broaden their horizons. Whether your boss has given you a three month sabbatical, you’ve decided to downsize or just simply trying to squeeze a bit more life into your precious few weeks off a year, you’ll get all the information you need from the experts.

Having the adventure of a lifetime need not be a logistical nightmare. Packages can be tailored to meet your requirements, so you’re always in control of your own travel experience. The biggest challenge though will be choosing where to go. From trekking in Tanzania, hang gliding in the Himalayas, and ocean rafting in Oz to an adventure down the Amazon, the Show will provide you with advice on navigating the maze of visa restrictions, planning a five country trip and even knowing what gear to cram into your rucksack.

So if you find yourself day dreaming about getting a bit more out of your next trip, get down to The Daily Telegraph Adventure Travel Show. It could very well be the first step on your road to the adventure of a lifetime.

The Daily Telegraph Adventure Travel Show has been successfully running for over a decade, providing both experienced and novice explorers with the inspiration and practical advice they need to plan their trip. There will be over 100 free talks including expert knowledge about the most remote and exotic locations, real life experiences, advice, hints and tips and celebrity appearances.

Richard Madden, Adventure Travel Editor at The Daily Telegraph will be kicking off the proceedings and topics will cover everything from planning an eco adventure to going it alone, whilst budding travel writers will also be able to get advice from the best in the business.
