  • Norwich...the Athens of the east?
    It's nice to be between places. To be located on the route to somewhere else. That way, people drop in to see you all the time: you are a diversion, a comfort, a service-provider. It's easier to be popular when you are convenient.
  • Hotels of the future: Galactic Suites, Aircruises and Alpine Capsules

    If a UK off-road driving holiday isn’t quite adventurous enough for you, there are also a number of clubs that organise Land Rover driving adventures in Europe and more remote parts of the world. Be warned though - off-road adventures can become addictive!
