Britain’s Best Running Roots

With all of Britain’s natural sights and great activities, running will give you an opportunity to experience the best of both worlds. Everywhere you look at any route, there’s always something magical and exceptional to see. Of course you don’t have to really run until you’re out of breath; you can take your time, walk and look around even closer.

East Cornwall is an amazing running route that also provides a magnificent view of fishing villages and breathtaking beaches. The gentle winds also provide great comfort in spite of the sun. The South Downs is located near the Eastbourne with chalk hills extending from the Itchen Valley. It provides a close-cropped turf that resulted from centuries of grazing.

Skydiving in Czech Republic

Adventure Travel/DIY Itineraries/Travel Tips

One of my greatest challenges to myself is to do Skydiving. I did bungee jumping before, so this year, I took the challenge. I skydived in my 27th Birthday!

I booked my sky diving at Skycentrum, you can contact them through Veronika (fiserova.veronika@post.cz) – She’s the nicest ever! I paid 5620 KC (213 Euros) which includes Tandem jump + USB HD Video and Photos, and RT transfers.

The jump took place in Pribram airport, an hour away from Prague. The shuttle will take you there, as soon as you arrive in the place, you’ll see the amazing crew. First, you will be asked to wear the jump suit, get short training or should I say rules to follow when jumping. You have nothing to be scared off, all the crew are professional.
