Beach Safety : Safety Advice
Millions of people enjoy spending time at beaches around the
UK every year. Being aware of the dangers at the beach and spotting the hazards
will ensure that your visit to the beach is a happy event and does not turn into
a tragedy. When visiting the beach, especially if you have children with you,
consider the following:-
Spot the dangers
Do a check of the beach when you arrive. Notice whether there are lifeguards
available, whether the tide is in or out, are there rocks, piers, groynes or
breakwaters that may affect paddling and bathing. Is the beach busy? Are there
watersports taking place, are these in zoned areas? What are the sea conditions
like, does the beach shelve steeply?
Take safety advice
Try and choose a beach that offers a lifeguard service and swim where the patrol
operates, within the area of red/yellow flags. Look for safety information which
may include warning signs and know what the flags mean:-
|
 |
Red and Yellow – Lifeguards on patrol.
Two flags at the waters edge denote where the patrolled bathing area is. |
|
Red – Dangerous to bathe or swim and you
should not go into the water. |
|
|
 |
Quartered black and white flag - shows
that an area is zoned off for watersport activities, swimmers and bathers
should avoid this area, it is not safe for them. |
Go together
Children should always go with an adult, not by themselves. Don’t swim alone.
Make sure that you know where everyone in your group is. Constant supervision is
the only real means of ensuring your child’s safety.

50 ways to save on your holidays
Richard Browning
SCHOOLS are clamping down on parents who take
their children on holiday during term time. At best, to get permission for even
one extra day off at either end of a holiday requires a degree of form filling
and letter writing that wouldn't be out of place in a Soviet police station.
Even then, the final decision rests on the whim of the chairman of governors.
While the difference a day makes to a child's education is unquantifiable, it
can add thousands of pounds to the price of a family holiday. But with this
option of saving money virtually outlawed, how do you stick within the rules
without breaking the bank?
Here are some examples from the article on how to save money on your holiday.
Visit
"Holiday Money" to read the holiday article in full.
10. Check back later
Travel agents and internet users can reserve flights and holidays for several
days without purchasing them. So if at first you find a deal is unavailable at
the price you want to pay, you have a choice: pay the higher price or wait a few
days to see if the places become available again.
11. Sign up for special offers by email.
Any airline or travel agent worth its reputation has a service that allows you
to hear about the deals first. Choose a few of your favourites and sign up. You
could access big savings for a few minutes' effort.
12. Go camping
The rise of the no-frills airlines has spawned a craze in ultra-low-cost
holidays. You can buy a camping kit for a family of four including tent, mats
and sleeping bags for sometimes less than £100. You book your flights to
somewhere preferably with insignificant annual rainfall and then pay a few
pounds a night to sleep under the stars. And remember: campsites abroad are
often much better equipped than those in Britain.
Rent a dream villa, self catering apartment or
luxury chateau in France direct with the owner - On offer are apartments
in Paris, luxury villas for rent in Cote d'Azur or rent a castle - the choice
is yours.

16. Interail
Again, not just for gap-year students. There are many European and
country-specific rail schemes to enjoy. If you're really savvy you can travel on
the overnight trains with your own cabin to avoid booking a hotel.
17. Think about cheap hotel chains
In Britain, there's Travelodge and Holiday Inn Express among others. In France
there are tons of them dotted all over the country with rooms for three people
from less than £20 a night. They're close enough to all the major tourist areas
to make it a real viable option for the cost-conscious francophile.
18. Do your own research online
You don't have to pay a fortune or spend years trawling the globe for the hidden
gems. Just log on one or more of the travel websites and read the views of
previous guests. Remember: cheap doesn't have to mean nasty.

43. Don't let Disney take the Mickey
The mousesavers website maybe for American people but it is definitely worth a
read if you want to do Disney for less.
44. Track down local restuarants
In Venice, in general, the closer a restaurant is to St Mark's Square the more
touristy and expensive it is. Remember, wherever you go local people eat out
too. Avoid the tourist traps and you'll be better fed and richer.
45. Check in to the library
For free guide books pop in to your local library. You can ask for an extended
borrowing period if you are worried about not getting the books back on time, or
renew them online.
