Wimbledon

by Maria81

One of the Four Grand Slam tournaments, Wimbledon is the oldest tennism tournament in the world. Played on grass, the tournament is held at the All England Club in Wimbledon (London) over two weeks in late June - early July. The women's and men's singles finals take place on the second Saturday and Sunday of the tournament.To visit the centre court and other main court it's usually necessary to enter a public ballot held at the start of the year (always oversubscribed). However, a number of tickets for all days up to the semi-finals (excluding) are released on the day, which leads to substantial queues. There is no live queue for semi-finals and finals, but a limited allocation of tickets is released on Ticketmaster the day before each match - which I how I got myself into the centre court twice for the men's singles finals, the 2009 - Federer vs. Roddick, and the 2010 final - Nadal vs....

Hiking in England

by Maria81

England has the most developed system of rights of way, which makes the country perfect for either weekend hiking or longer hiking holidays. Hiking is big business, and you can get anything organised, from a guide to a service to carry your luggage between overnight stops.In addition to over 10 National Trails, there are over 700 of the so-called LDPs, or Long Distance Paths. These are usually the paths that follow a historical figure (Lady Anne's Way, for example) or a geographical feature (Offa's Dyke National Path or the Saxon Shore Way are examples of this) and are over 20 miles in length - meaning it's at least a long day hike. Some of them run for over100 miles. The recognised paths are usually well-marked (although the standard will differ).Lack of time has meant that we have only started discovering the LDP network, but we're very much looking forward to going that little bit...

Peddars Way & the Norfolk Coast Path

by Maria81

What? Peddars Way and the Norfolk Coast Path is one of the shorter national trails in the UK. Just over 90 miles in length (and thus do-able in 5 days by a reasonably dedicated walker), it is in reality two long distance paths joined together. Peddars Way follows the route of an ancient Roman road from the borders of Suffolk and Norfolk to the coast, while the Norfolk Coast Path runs south to Cromer from that point. We have started walking it as a series of day walks from London in October 2011. From what we've seen so far, walking is easy along mostly flat paths (shingle is the only exception). Sections completed Cromer - Cley-next-the-Sea: ca. 14 miles (with a slight detour) Suitable clothing and shoes are a must. It's often windy on the coast, and you'll be walking on shingle for some time (also, there may be adders on the forest sections) - so windproofs, waterproofs and sturdy...

Eng-er-land's Premiership Football League

by aaaarrgh

England is the home of football (or 'soccer' as the Americans like to call it). The English (usually the male sex) are big football fans, almost obsessed. What other sport could get people so excited about a 0-0 draw or 1-0 win?!Football originated as a rule-less kickaround, particularly 'Shrovetide Football' played around Ashbourne, Derbyshire, until the mid-19th century. The English Football League was formally set-up in 1888. In 1992 the top League was renamed The Premier League (or 'Premiership'), with the 20 top teams in England. Currently all the Premiership teams are based in English cities, and likely to remain so*. Scotland has its own Premier League.No David Beckham - he currently (2005/6) plays in Spain.This could also be a World tip - Manchester United, the most famous English football team, is well known for having fans all over Planet Earth. And the Premiership is more...

South West Coast Path

by Maria81

The South West Coast Path is UK's longest long-distance walk running from Minehead in Somerset to Poole Harbour in Dorset. The total length is ca. 630 miles.Sections walkedWeymouth to Lulworth Cove Definitely carry windproofs and waterproofs, even in good weather, as this is England. For the stretch that I walked, there was no particular need to take food supplies (apart from small snacks) as you will pass by quite a few towns and pubs - unless your hike is on Sunday, when you may find the food shops closed. You should carry water in any case.As you are following the coast, there is only limited need for a map. If you do want them, Ordnance Survey's Explorer series #102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 115, 116, 126, 139, 9, 15, 20 are the ones to get

Bristol & Bath Railway Path

by Maria81

The Bristol & Bath Railway Path is a ca. 15-mile path, following the tracks of a disused railway, and is shared by hikers and cyclists (although cyclists tend to dominate). The path links the railway stations of Bath and Bristol and is one of a number of one-day long-distance paths (although there is some debate as to whether they can actually be called long-distance paths...) which took me about 4 hours to complete, including the link from Bath railway station. On the Bristol end, the path leads you pretty much to Temple Meads Station.The Path is one of the least challenging ones I've walked, and is very easy to follow, being signposted all the way. Helpful indicators on the pavement itself help you find your bearings by pointing out adjoining paths and boroughs and villages to your left and right. There's no special equipment needed when you're hiking the path, there are several...

Saxon Shore Way

by Maria81

HistoryThe Saxon Shore Way is a 257 kilometre (160 mile) route from Gravesend, in North Kent, to Hastings in East Sussex. Although not part of the National Trails network, it has some very fine stretches of coastal walking. The route is named after the line of historic fortifications that defended the Kent coast at the end of the Roman era.Stretches CompletedSandwich to DoverRye to Hastings The path is not the best waymarked one, especially as it goes through some of the fields so it would be best to have a map and compass to hand. To cover the entire path, you would need Ordnance Survey Explorer # 124, 125, 137, 138, 148, 149, 150, 162, 163Comfortable (and layered, in case of rain!) clothing is a must, also do carry snacks and water as you won't pass through more than 1-2 food/drink places during the day.

Royal Military Canal Path

by Maria81

AboutThe Royal Military Canal Path is a 28-mile long long distance path running between Seabrook in Kent and Cliff End in East Sussex. The route follows that of the - you guessed it - Royal Military Canal, which is one of the largest man-made defensive structures in Britain built in 1804 to repel a potential invasion by Napoleon's troupsStretches walked1. Cliff End to Rye2. Rye to HamstreetStretches to walk3. Hamstreet to Hythe The path is an easy, level, well-marked walk (plus, it's very difficult to get lost if you're following the Canal :) ) so no special equipment is needed.Just use common sense to make sure clothing is comfortable, can protect you should there be any rain, and you've got water and some snacks with you.
