Basically, due to a break up and cancellation of previous arrangements, I find myself with a free week next week and I really fancy doing something active and outdoors. Most of my trips recently have been scenery, cities and museums, so I'd like to try something more adventurous. I've tried some of the adventure travel places online, but most have been fully booked, or it's too late for the dates I need, so I'd like a recommendation for a place that I can head to and just arrange to do various things there on my own. I'm looking for things like white water rafting, kayaking/canoeing, mountain biking, trekking... maybe para-sailing, bungee jumping... I'm generally open to any ideas that don't involve museums and galleries :P
I'm in the UK, and only have a week (9 days at most, Saturday to Sunday) so somewhere that doesn't take too long to get to would be ideal. If there was one place I could head to to do multiple activities, that would be great, and I'm open to splitting the time between a couple of locations. Budget wise, cheaper would be great, but last minute will always cost more so not really a requirement, and happy to pay more for something that's truly awesome. Any advice would be much appreciated :)
