Manchester United.

by Dizzyhead

This is one of the most and famous football clubs in Europe, and in the world. In one way they dont need an introduction, but I will write one anyway. When you go and watch a United game, just bring a good mood, a camera and some money. Enjoy the good quality of football game.

Kieler Woche - Europe's largest sailing-event

by globetrott

Kieler Woche is the biggest annual sailing-event of Europe and it is traditionally held in June. It includes a parade of old windyammers and sailingships of all sizes. In Kiel-Holtenau, east of the locks of Kielcanal / Nord-Ostsee-Kanal you will see many of these old windyammers docked throughout the year and you will be able to walk along that pier freely and without restrictions like I did in order to take these pics. See the program of Kieler Woche here in englishand for the german program click on the link below

F is Fen Village collecting

by sourbugger

A truly nutty form of tourism Many people will have heard of Munroe bagging - the practice of trying to climb all the mountains in Scotland.The Fenland equilvalent (fenland is an area of eastern England that is utterly flat as a pancake) is truly eccentric - you have to visit nearly 200 villages and settlements to gain a variety of rewards, leading to the "Full Fenland".You can gain partial awards as there is a seriously complicated (and logically unfathomable) system of points for each of the settlement groups in the fens.It could all be covered by car, but I think the spirit of the eccentricity is to do it on foot or at least on on a push bike.This wierd world of eccentricity can be uncovered putting mfvcs into google. This stands for the Multiple Fen Village Collecting Society.It's a wide weird world (W.W.W) out there, and this is one of the strangest bits!

P is for the Premiership in England

by sourbugger

This is Sourbuggers' indispensible guide to the Premiership - It deals in well-worn cliches, sterotypes and and generalisations.ARSENAL : Top of the food chain. Commonly referred to as 'boring, boring Arsenal'. Despite their supposed style of play, it has not prevented them picking up most of the Premiership titles and Cups over the past few years.Their great rivals are Tottenham in London and Man U in the Premiership. Virtually impossible to get a ticket.CHELSEA : Currently (DEC 2009) beating everybody in sight after the Russian oil tycoon spent millions and millions on assembling an all-star team. But what happens when Roman gets bored with his plaything ? Based in west London, tickets are the most expensive in the Premiership - and again like Golddust.TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR : They may win the FA cup every 10 years or so, but this Premiership teams have been perennial under-achievers for...

If you are coming by plane, you can take a bus from the Belgrade airport ( every full hour on the hour ) to the central bus station in town. It will cost you approx. 2 Eur. There you'll buy a bus ticket to Nis. It costs approx. 6 to 7 Eur, and takes about 3 hours for 230km to Nis.

Paragliding in Switzerland

by globetrott

Switzerland is a great place to go Paragliding, even when you have never done it before. There are many young pilots waiting for "victims" for a tandem-flight, you may book such flights in advance or simply go to the top of a mountain like Schiltorn, Brienzer Rothorn and many others and search for a pilot there - when you are lucky and maybe also not in the high season you may decide on top of the mountain, if you dare to fly down with one of the pilots. The pilot on my pictures was waiting 2 hours in vain before he decided to fly down alone. In fact he was not only going downwards, BUT was able to find a perfect wind to take him UP-wards several hundred meters, before he sailed down to the valley...200 sfr / 140 Euros is the tandem-flight down from Rothornfrom Schilthorn : 270,- sfr / from Muerren : 160,- sfr The equipment is given by the pilot - they always have a large rucksack with...

walking

by pepples46

walking and hiking is the most favourite pasttime sport in Europe and everbody can do it, no special gear needed just good walking..or hiking boots.sometimes I miss the german Forest, the sunday afternoon walk in the fresh and beautiful sorroundings of tree's, the earthy smell of fallen leafs...walking over moss, so kind to the feet like a persian rug. Germany is known for its love of walking and its lovely and diverse Forest
