New year, new adventures with IntotheBlue

With the launch of our new #BeMoreAdventurous campaign, we thought we'd indulge ourselves and take a look back at our favourite new adrenaline-packed activities added to the IntotheBlue.co.uk website in 2014. As we couldn't possibly pick a favourite, here they are in no particular order, starting off with the trend for all things retro. We predict the 80s will be mahoosive in 2015, which is quite ace as we are proper 80s kids.

Apple’s latest iPhone 6 or the Bookbook?

The other day our Big Boss here at IntotheBlue skyped us from his iPad - since when did our boss get so tech-savvy? Perhaps since we launched our re-worked IntotheBlue mobile site that's when. Or maybe just since Apple took over the world we reckon. And this week saw the launch of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus.
