Have you ever considered a mountaineering holiday? You know the type i mean.. get your walking boots on and brave the great outdoors! These types of trips are relatively inexpensive and will give you a whole new way to enjoy your time off.

I am always trying to encourage people to break from the norm, to try something different. Rather than going on a boring beach holiday like you do every year, why not take the the hills and get climbing a mountain. Adrenaline fuelled holidays are on the rise and will continue to increase in popularity throught 2010 and beyond.

When selecting a mountain to climb, always do your research first as accidents can (and do) happen. There is nothing worse than a climber without the correct mountain equipment becoming stranded on a mountainside. With correct preparation you can avoid any serious mistakes and potentially hazardous problems. Always ensure you have the correct walking boots, trousers, jackets and waterproofs, but also a sturdy hat, gloves and bag to carry all your essentials. With these items to hand you can help reduce the risk of getting hypothermia or suffering from wind chill.

With correct preparation, your mountaineering holiday is a great way to get in touch with nature. So get yourself some rambling gear, pack your map and compass and take to the hills – it will be a memorable holiday!
