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.
13. Save up for the holiday you really want
You don't have to slum it. If you plan ahead and save your money like people did
in the 'olden' days, you can have the holiday you want, where you want and when
you want - even in the school holidays.
14. Take your bike
If you can't travel in the small hours, taking your family by car to the
Continent in the summer can cost a small fortune. So long as you tell the ferry
company in advance, most will allow you to take your bikes for free. This is
especially viable if you're visiting Holland or the Belgian coast, which are
famously rather flat.
15. Go youth hostelling
Did you know that in spite of the name, youth hostels are not the preserve of
the young - and many have family rooms?
Visit Mickey Mouse, Cinderella, and all of the other Walt Disney characters at World Disney World in Florida
-
don't book a hotel room, rent a luxury villa within minutes of the theme parks. Florida villas
for rent near Walt Disney World with private swimming pool.

22. Visit cheap countries
Sounds obvious but take Greece - once a cheap option for a family holiday.
Rampant inflation on the back of its entry to the euro and its new-found
upmarket view of itself as Olympic host and European football champions, it has
become relatively expensive. Italy on the other hand is still delightfully
reasonable.
23. Don't use the Gatwick Express
If you're travelling from central London to Gatwick airport or vice versa you
have a choice or rail operators. The non-stop Gatwick Express, which charges
around £24 one way for an adult, and the two-stop Southern service, which takes
FIVE minutes longer but costs a mere £9. Note: For the Heathrow and Stansted
Express services it's less clear cut as the alternatives, though cheaper, can be
overcrowded and therefore less reliable.

37. Two for one London
If you are travelling to London and the South East by train there are some
genuine offers for reduced entry to attractions such as Madame Tussauds and the
aquarium on the 2for1 website.
38. Do you really need a hire car?
British public transport maybe unreliable, dirty, out-dated and expensive but
it's not the case everywhere. In Tenerife, the buses are cheap, punctual,
air-conditioned and clean - there's no need to hire a car or queue for a taxi.
39. Check your passport at least a month before you go
If you leave this to the last minute and you have lost your passport, you won't
be going away at all. If it has expired you will need to pay way over the odds
for a rush application. Don't get caught out.
