If you\u2019re not a fan of a chocolate-covered clich\u00e9 on Valentine\u2019s Day, then why not try something different this year? Taking a trip outdoors will add an element of excitement to the day, and who knows, you might fall in love with something else\u2026.a new hobby!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here a<\/em>re our top picks for an alternative Valentine\u2019s Day:<\/em><\/p>\n

Take a long bike ride somewhere new<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether you live along the coast, can grab a Boris bike around London, or can tackle all gears on rocky terrain, a bike ride is a fantastic way to clear your head whilst enjoying the ride. Why not dust off that saddle and take yourself on a route that you\u2019ve never been on before? It\u2019s not too late for a New Year\u2019s resolution\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Indulge in a last-minute ski trip<\/strong><\/p>\n

Throw caution to the wind and book a last-minute ski trip for this coming weekend. Whether you\u2019re going solo or are bringing a loved one, an impulse moment, few days in the mountains and some apr\u00e8s ski is the perfect recipe for romance.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Escape to a campsite<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take it back to basics and find a secluded spot to pitch a tent outdoors. As well as the adrenaline from running away with a loved one, you can make a campfire, drink copious amounts of hot chocolate and take in the peaceful setting. Disclaimer: you may never want to leave!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Go on a peaceful hike<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make your way down to your local nature centre or park for a hike-for-two in the woods. Revel in the tranquillity of the outdoors and savour the scenery. Add another ounce of romance to the mix by going for a walk just before sunset and grab those last few moments of daytime with your loved one.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Star gaze at twilight<\/strong><\/p>\n

The beauty and majesty of the night sky is a sure-fire way to create an amorous atmosphere. Spend the night chatting away, or even try identifying the various constellations with your partner. Don\u2019t forget the blankets and a bottle of bubbly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stroll along the shore with your furry friend<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is no better way to spend Valentine\u2019s Day than with your most loyal companion. Invite your canine pal on a scenic stroll along the nearest coastline and treat yourselves to a cup of tea and (dog) biscuits afterwards. Capture the moment with a perfectly poised photo, and don\u2019t forget to tag @mountainwarehouse<\/a> on Instagram for a chance for you and your dog to be featured!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brave the cold for a winter picnic<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eating al fresco is a must for adding a little excitement to mealtimes with your loved one. Add a little creativity to the day by putting together a winter picnic filled with your favourite comfort foods and a warm flask of tea. Remember to pick somewhere sheltered in case the weather is against you and bring a cushion and blanket.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Challenge yourself to a digital detox<\/strong><\/p>\n

Face your offline fears and try a digital detox for the day. Ditch social media for 24 hours and instead arrange to see your loved ones in person. Why not invite your best friend round for a coffee, take a parent out for a walk, or treat your significant other to a meal without checking your phone?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
