Tips and Tricks for Your Next Girls' Adventure
Desperate to book your next girls’ adventure? While the planning process can be exciting and fun, you’ll need to consider the practical elements too so that your trip allows you to make the most of the experience.
Tap into the rising trend of female travellers with your next UK staycation. Here are some practical tips for planning the ultimate getaway with your girlfriends.
Decide on the type of location you want
Location is everything. You might want to visit a particular city, enjoy a rural retreat or escape to the coast. Consider the time of year too – this might end up dictating your final decision. If the weather looks poor, certain destinations or activities might be less appealing.
Whether you plan to visit London, the Yorkshire Dales or the South West coastline, there are endless options within the UK.
Establish your base
Does your plan involve booking an Airbnb? A hotel? A camping site? Consider where you’d prefer to base yourselves during your trip, taking into account additional amenities you might want, such as a spa or catering. This is your chance to craft your trip into whatever you wantit to be while considering your budget.
You’ll also want to think about the proximity of your accommodation to nearby facilities. For example, if you’re planning a city break, you might want to consider somewhere that allows for parking but has easy access to all the action. If it’s a countryside retreat, do you want to be based near any market towns or good walking routes?
Plan activities
Once you have your base established, it’s time to think about the fun activities you’ll fill your days with. If you want to embrace the outdoors, perhaps a hike could be on the cards, followed by a pub lunch. If you want to enjoy a full-blown city break, think about the cultural sites and other activities you can enjoy – and consider whether you need to book anything in advance. If you want to indulge in a spot of R&R, have a look at local spas.
Get your car serviced
Planning to drive? Vehicle maintenance is an important part of long journeys. Ideally, you should time your trip with your annual service so that you can set off knowing that your vehicle has been thoroughly checked and has passed all the safety requirements.
On top of this, make sure you plan your route so that you’re familiar with what to expect. Plus, if you lose signal at any point, it’s handy to have a map just in case.
Plan your outfits
As with any getaway, your clothing is an important part of the planning process. Check the weather and plan around the types of activities on your itinerary. You might need to consider anything from a swimming costume to a waterproof jacket, depending on what you have planned.
