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.

4. Travel on the ferry at unsociable times
After years of outrageously high fares, the cross-Channel ferry operators have
woken up to the fact that people aren't prepared to pay up to £600 to cross a
stretch of water so short you can see the other side from our shores -
especially as you can fly to Spain for a few quid. As a result, fares have
plunged and if you can travel at night, it's even cheaper.
5. Stay at home
A change is good as a rest so why not move into the spare room or swap rooms
with your kids for a week or two. It's free and can be great fun – especially if
you can agree to swap roles so the children do all the cooking.
6. Share the cost
A holiday home that sleeps 12 people isn't usually six times more expensive than
one that sleeps two. So if you can bear to share with friends or family you
could save a packet.
Why book a room in a crowded hotel when you can rent a private villa with
swimming pool - we feature villa
rentals with pools in Spain, Portugal and Cyprus and 51 other Countries
across the World.

19. Haggle for your hotel by email
One tip we like is to find accommodation recommended in guide books and on the
travel websites - then email them directly to check for availability. Wait a few
weeks and check again. If it's still available you're in a strong position to
haggle for a deal. Email is particularly useful for people who hate haggling
face to face or by phone.
20. Collect newspaper tokens
Many newspapers have a travel club or offer travel discounts that involve
collecting tokens. Some of them offer a fantastic opportunity to save money on
your holiday. Others don't, so always read the small print.
21. Check the latest exchange rates
Fluctuations in the value of the pound can mean the difference between being
able to afford a holiday in the US and not. At current rates, America is around
20% cheaper than a couple of years ago. Also, think about visiting countries
with currencies aligned to the dollar such as those in Latin America and the
Caribbean.

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.
