October half term is here, but are you worried you’re going to run out of activites?
Why not make a last minute trip to Carmarthenshire, Scotland for a mountain-biking adventure.
Or learn from football legend Robbie Keane at a beachside resort in Dubai.
Looking for a holiday that’s a bit more refined?
Singapore Airlines are offering very reasonable direct flights to South-east Asia from November 19 (and celebrating with a bottle of gin).
Thrills and spills
Mountain bikers will want to saddle up for a new holiday launching in Northern Carmarthenshire.
The MTB Trail Thrillogy is a self-guided two-day trip that brings together the lesser-known trails at Crychan Forest on the edge of the Brecon Beacons and Cwm Rhaeadr in the Cambrian Mountains, with the adrenaline-fuelled Brechfa.
Prepare for fast downhill runs and cross-country trails.
