This new format Bradt guide offers a year’s worth of weird and wonderful weekends, arranged season by season. Created and road-tested by one of the most prolific contributors to UK newspaper travel sections, it is aimed at the reader/traveller who has already done the standard trips to Prague, Paris and Amsterdam and is now looking for something different and more adventurous. Seasonal suggestions are divided into Home Front (UK), Europe and Further Flung. Included in the range are adventures such as renting a wigwam in a converted quarry in Cornwall, steelworks tours in Germany and travelling on a floating lodge in tropical Gambia. As well as an entertaining read, this is a practical guidebook containing enough information to allow readers to experience these out-of-the-ordinary trips for themselves.
