What do you dream of doing on holiday? Flopping on the beach, sipping evening cocktails, perhaps a street market or two. Or climbing to the top of a volcano.

Injecting a dash of adventure into your weekends is the first step to dreaming bigger with your annual leave. Dreaming of St Lucia’s bubbling hot mud baths, I embraced the squelching mud of Surrey’s Box Hill in preparation for my longed-for Caribbean adventure.
