There are plenty of reasons to be cheerful in 2011. The snow has gone, the water has returned so it is now time to begin making those New Year resolutions.

We realise making a resolution can be easy but sticking to them can be hard so here are our top ways of kick starting the New Year.

Taking place for 6 Saturdays from 8^th January – 12^th February a series of adventures have been specifically designed for the girls (sorry guys) and all activities are conducted within a non-competitive, encouraging & supportive environment.

Belfast Hills Partnership – Divis & Black Mountain
Saturday 8^th January

Take part in Belfast Hills Partnership’s New Year’s walk of Divis and Black Mountain. Kick off 2011 as you mean to go on. Shed the season’s excesses and feel good again.

Introduction to Sea Kayaking
Mobile Team Adventure – Strangford Lough
Tuesday 18^th January

Work on your paddling skills and discover the beautiful art of sea kayaking; paddle solo or tandem; develop your skills on open water, learn to use tides and currents and other skills involved in Sea Kayaking.

Winter Race Series
Rostrevor, Castlewellan, Tollymore Forest Parks and Stormont Estate
Thursday Evenings

For something a bit more energetic 26 Extreme invites you to banish your winter blues and take part in the Winter Race Series. On these race nights competitors will don their head torches and with their fellow runners will light up the trails through the forests as they take part in these unique 10k off road runs.

Mountain Sojourns is offering a series of ways of getting active this winter. Nordic Walking and Mountain Navigation Courses are just a few of the options available to get out in the fresh air.

There are so many ways to make a great start to a great year!
