The Devil’s Pulpit contributed by Sonia

There is a lovely walk, local to Tintern, in the Wye Valley, which takes one to the Devil’s Pulpit via Offa’s Dyke Path on the Gloucestershire side of the River Wye. It is a beautiful woodland walk, the paths are well marked and maintained. If it has been wet you will probably (there’s actually no ‘probably’ about it, you will) need the right footwear. There are a few ways to approach the pulpit... Read more... |

The Most Famous Car in the World by By Dave Worrall contributed by Bernice
|
What do you think of when you read the title? The Author thinks it is the Aston Martin DB5 and I tend to agree with him. This book charts the complete history of the James Bond Aston Martin DB5 and tells the extraordinary story of a normal car that became an overnight sensation. At the time of writing his book, 25 years after the initial film and even with all the various other modes of transport used in the subsequent Bond movies, it still holds that title. There follows a wealth of information and photographs about the DB5 from the author’s extensive six years research and gives a fascinating insight into many aspects of the film industry, the motor industry and more.
