Here, our Managing Director tells you why he goes back to Finnish Lapland year after year.
In this job, I travel a great deal on business-related matters but always find some time to go out and play regardless of whether it’s hydrospeeding on Slovenia’s stunning Soca River or husky sledding across the frozen lakes and undulating hills of Fell Lapland.
You would think that somebody who visits snow covered Lapland up to five or six times every year would seek somewhere slightly warmer for a holiday. Not so, when it comes to the McLean Family holiday, we’ve headed straight back to Finnish Lapland for the last five years running.

Why go abroad when you can have your fill of adventure against a backdrop as dramatic as our very own Lake District.
More and more people are travelling from other countries in Europe and beyond to experience what the Lakes have to offer and yet it can often by overlooked by the English in their scramble to go overseas for a holiday.
I certainly did not hesitate when I had the opportunity to visit and sample the hospitality and activities on offer and I knew it was not a decision I would regret from the moment I was tucking into my first meal on arrival.

I am a very lucky girl and I get to visit a lot of wonderful places as part of my job.
Normally the reaction I get from friends and families is of general jealousy and gentle teasing about how hard it is to work in tourism but when I said I was going to Croatia it brought on a wave of blatant begging and pleading to see if they could accompany me and sneak into my suitcase!
