Something different for the weekend?

A VERY long time ago, when I first started working at PV, I can remember a gentleman called Andrew Eames coming for a visit. He was writing a piece on our Adrenalin Cocktail weekends for the Evening Standard. He was nice, a little taciturn, one of those guys who doesn't give much away.

Anyway, the piece was fantastic, the write up of the weekend 'awesome' (ha), in fact it's still on the wall in the lodge, still makes me laugh when I read it.

'Something different for the weekend - 52 seasonal breaks for the imaginative traveller' is the name of the new book he's just written, and I was honoured and touched when I saw he'd included the Adrenalin Cocktail as one of these breaks! Even more so when he writes;

"In 25 years as a travel writer I'm lucky enough to have been to a lot of places myself, but many of them didn't make the cut as far as this book is concerned. This collection centres on those which really rocked my boat; those that had the tingle factor, that changed my opinion of something, someone or somewhere. I'm fairly convinced that some of them will rock your tingle factor, too."

We do hope so - we do like the idea of being purveyors of the tingle factor!

It's a great book with a load of ideas for exciting weekends away - you can read about it, and buy it here; http://www.bradt-travelguides.com/

And Andrew, if you ever get to read this, thanks very much, and please do come and tingle with us again soon.
