Can’t wait for Santa to drop down your chimney? Then join him on the piste!

Ultimate guide to New York City Marathon
[like]
If you’re heading to New York and don’t fancy shelling out for an open-top tour bus, you could consider running around the city instead.
Hoofing it for 26 miles on any terrain can be exhausting, but it’s cheap, it’s good exercise, and you go slow enough to really appreciate the scenery.
Not convinced? Check out this route:
New York Marathon kicks off from Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island before crossing the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge into Brooklyn. It then travels up to Queens and turns left to cross the East River on Queensboro Bridge. Upon reaching Manhattan the route goes through the Upper East Side to the Bronx, then down again through Central Park to finish near Central Park Lake.
Following this circuit, you pass through 4 of the 5 boroughs and also touch on Harlem as you pass down 5th Avenue. That’s some serious ground you’re covering. The length of this route, though; it’s massive…it must be at least 26 miles.
Welcome to our Ultimate guide to New York City Marathon.
Ultimate Notting Hill Carnival Guide
[like]
Vibrant; vivacious; venereal – London’s reputation spreads far and wide. The streets are paved with gold, the black cabs run on digestive biscuits, and everybody wears a bowler hat.
There’s always a lot going here because, whatever the weather, London loves to party. One of the best examples of this is the world famous Notting Hill Carnival. Known for its attractive Georgian townhouses and dreary rom-coms, once a year the usually placid district of Notting Hill comes alive in an explosion of colour and music. Strip off your clothes and strap on your dancing shoes for Europe’s largest free carnival.

Top weird theme parks

We had so much fun making the roller coasters blogpost that we’ve been itching to revisit the wonderful world of theme parks. You all know the joys of Thorpe Park, the thrills of Port Aventura, and the exhilaration of Six Flags – we want to find out about something different. Something out of the ordinary, perhaps.
Even the British Royal Family has its ill-fitting pieces; likewise, our fascination with theme parks has spawned some weird and wacky creations.
