Upcoming: Flickr UK Events http://upcoming.yahoo.com/group/1639/ Events feed for the Flickr UK Group on Upcoming. Mon, 21 Jul 2008 13:06:48 -0700 Upcoming 60 en-us Aug 30, 2008: Nottingham Flickr: Peak District Walk 2 - Kinder Scout at Edale Pay and Display car park
You can also explore the route in Google Maps or Google Earth.

Important:

● This is a walk over terrain that requires more effort than a walk around the park.

● You'd be best served with proper walking boots that will keep your feet dry and comfortable and give you grip on rocks

● Having multiple layers of clothes is a good idea so that you can add and remove layers depending on how warm or cold you.

● Having waterproofs that you can wear over your clothes is a good idea - a lot of walking trousers / shorts are quick drying - jeans and other materials can become wet and stay wet which means they get heavy and uncomfortable

● Pack plenty of water and food. If you're walking for a long time your body uses a lot of energy. New food gives you energy back which you'll need as the day goes on. Water, even if you're not thirsty, keeps your body working properly - when you're dehydrated, you'll have less energy and the walk will seem like harder work than it really is.

Sorry if some of the above sounds like I'm trying to get you to suck eggs, but I don't want anyone to come along to this without realising what is involved. After this walk starts, there is nowhere to stop for refreshments, no proper shortcuts so you could find yourself three hours away from warmth, shelter and food.

Having said all that, the views are lovely, the terrain interesting and you'll come back tired after hopefully having a good long healthy day out!

I am proposing that we bring our own lunches with us and eat outside (weather permitting.)
After lunch we can go to Anstruther, the most touristy of the villages and wander along to Cellardyke on foot ending up at the pig farm.
I would suggest parking at the carpark at the Co-op and walking down and if we can be organised enough we might see if we can get a couple of cars at the Cellardyke end to ferry drivers back.
I am still musing over the evening meal, but what we could do is get some of the famous fish and chips for our evening meal. The downside of that is that it probably would involve long queues and it doesn’t have enough seats to sit us all at the same time. Any thoughts on this?
For those with stamina, I would suggest going along to Elie for the sunset – you can get some nice shots over the bay.
For everyone else I suggest we find a pub, there are a quite a few. I will be seeking local knowledge this week on the best.

Sunday
As is usual I was going to leave this a bit looser, but what I would suggest would be Crail and Kellie Castle.

Wet weather plans would involve the Fisheries Museum and the Secret Bunker.

Donington Park Leisure and the British Automobile Racing Club announce that TruckAttack – Truck Racing Championship will be held as a one day event on 27th July 2008.

Featuring Delphi British Truck Racing Championship races plus a full day of support races including Pick-Up Racing Championship, Ferrari Challenge, Legends Championship and the BMW Challenge.

‘Motor sport fans are in for a real treat as this is a rare opportunity to see some of the smallest four wheel racers and the heaviest all on one day’ says Robert Fearnall of Donington Park Leisure. ‘We’re aiming to make this a great value for money day out for spectators whether sport fans or families wanting a different experience. We’ve got the BigFoot Monster Truck Display, children’s activities and lots of impressive custom trucks.’


The sport of truck racing started at Donington Park in 1984 and has developed into an exciting heavy-weight motor sport with five-and-a-half ton trucks racing at speeds up to 100 miles per hour.

The FIA European Truck Racers will not be part of the programme due to being unable to obtain the financial commitment from interested parties originally wishing to help see a round of the European series return to the UK.

The Delphi British Truck Racing Championship is the most successful national championship in Europe with more than twenty 1000 horsepower race trucks regularly competing.

The sport has enjoyed a recent revival, attracting large crowds to Brands Hatch and Thruxton in the south of England. Enthusiasts in the Midlands and North will welcome truck racing’s return to Donington after a 4 year break.
