The year is 1973 and changes are afoot in Great Yarmouth and
Brokencliff-on-Sea as the New Year comes in with bang! Return to a
simpler time when family holidays at the seaside were still fun and
electronic devices had never been heard of. The only sound that was
heard was the gentle lapping of the waves, the gulls circling
above, and the trot of the horse's hooves along the promenade and
music from the funfairs.

GOLFLAND describes each one of Scotland's golf courses. It is the
detailed, definitive guide to the country's courses. It's the first
book of its kind in more than a decade, an ambitious celebration of
Scotland's embarrassment of golfing riches. Useful and informative,
it is a practical reference work. Beautifully designed, with
stunning photography by David Cannon, it is also a highly desirable
gift. GOLFLAND is an appropriate name for a book about the courses
of Scotland, the country recognised as the birthplace of the game.
Scotland is a mecca for golf tourists worldwide, who come to play
its most celebrated courses, such as Carnoustie, Muirfield and the
historic links of St Andrews. Yet for all of Scotland's most
distinguished courses, like those which host The Open, there are
hundreds of others, some known to aficionados, some so far-flung as
to be familiar to only a few. GOLFLAND records and celebrates them
all. If you are planning a trip to Scotland or simply want to
explore the richness of the country's golfing landscape, GOLFLAND
is essential. For dreaming about some future game, or else
remembering one played long ago, it is equally invaluable. GOLFLAND
will answer almost all the questions you might have about Scottish
golf courses. GOLFLAND is also the answer to a commonly asked
question: what is the perfect gift for the golfer in my life?

This is a book that takes the reader on a detailed tour of many of
the shores of Britain and Ireland and explains the reasons for
their remarkably different scenery. Why, for example, do the rocky
coastlines of Western Scotland and Ireland contrast so markedly
with the sandy beaches of East Anglia? It describes how the complex
coastline of North Wales evolved over some seven million years and
also traces the ways in which the human impact has changed all our
coastlines from prehistoric times to the present day. Crumbling
cliffs, stark headlands, coral beaches, shingle spits, sand dunes
and salt marshes - all are here, as are stories of Gaelic speakers,
fisherman's tales, saints and shipwrecks. One of the book's most
distinctive features tells how the author took part in one of the
National Trust's most successful initiatives, termed Enterprise
Neptune; how it was conceived and how it has led to the acquisition
of more than 775 miles of shoreline to be conserved for the nation
in perpetuity. The book also explores how famous artists, writers,
poets and composers have been inspired by coastal scenery to
produce some of their most important works. And what does the
future hold? What changes can we expect along our shores? The
concluding chapters examine the escalating threats resulting from
increasing human occupation and development and from the impact of
climate change. They outline some of the ways in which the National
Trust is responding to these challenges and how it is planning to
manage our coastal environment for many years to come.
To reach Machu Picchu one must first navigate a path over the Andes
Mountains, instead of hiking I chose to ride across by horse. As a
novice rider every day was special, a real adventure and one that I
shall never forget. Along the way I stayed in purpose built lodges,
had a dip in a glacial lake, received a blessing from a Shaman and
ate guinea pig for lunch. Later I managed to survive: a car crash,
hotel eviction, a terrifying flight over the Nazca Lines and a
severe bout of food poisoning. Life is seldom dull when I am on my
travels.
Guidebook to walking Hampshire's Test Way, a 44 mile (71km) route
from Inkpen Beacon to the Eling Tide Mill near Southampton Water.
The walk, which is described over eight stages, takes in many of
the region's natural, historical and architectural delights, from
the ever famous 'Sprat and Winkle' railway to the River Test itself
- a stunning example of the exceedingly rare chalk stream. Each
stage (they range in length from 3 to 8.5 miles) is described
clearly and concisely, and is accompanied by 1:50,000 OS mapping.
Worth its weight in your backpack, the guide also includes
information on the history, geology and landscape of the Test
Valley, as well as practical information on accommodation and
transport. Additionally, it describes 15 circular walks in the Test
Valley, which vary in length from 3.75 miles (6km) to 8.5 miles
(13.75km). The Test Way passes through areas of intriguing history
and remarkable natural beauty. There are sites of Special
Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty
(AONB) as well as Iron Age hill forts, medieval churches, age old
abbeys, relics from a long passed railway era and quaint villages
brimming with thatch and flint and individual 'hostelries' to
match. It is a walk well suited to history and geology enthusiasts,
and certainly a must for anyone interested in the iconic Sprat and
Winkle railway.
A beach-goer’s pocket companion for lazy days on the shore, or
for the armchair beachcomber recalling the feel of sand between

accessible activity for pretty much everyone who goes to the beach,
young or old, specialist, or first-timer. Learn more about
exploring the seashore and the treasures to be found, from
seashells and pebbles to seaweed and sand, and discover the secrets
of the tide and conservation, plus how to be a responsible
collector and how to record your finds.
