@UKTravelWriter will be in Jersey from Monday to sample the delights of the food festival - particularly looking forward to low-water fishing and cooking it up after, finding out Michelin chef Mark Jordan's secrets and eating sausages and local cider. Yum.

It seems I was so close with my travel feature about Fregate Island Private in The Seychelles
Written by me on Friday, 01 April 2011.
Here's my idea or in fact a location for anyone who can pay £2,800 per night. Though you do get a butler included for that! http://www.dorsetsociety.co.uk/travel/travelstories/8916706.Seychelles__an_island_paradise_fit_for_royalty/ |

One of our Balloons is Missing |

Written by Clive Tully

In 30 years of professional writing, most of Clive Tully's career as a journalist has been spent travelling the world engaging in all manner of activities in pursuit of a good story.
“One of our Balloons is Missing” is an anthology of some of Clive's more colourful adventures, available in electronic edition from Amazon's Kindle store. In it you can read how he became the first journalist to fly in a hot air balloon in Soviet Russia (which gave the book its title), how he rode at 90mph in a four-man bobsleigh down the Olympic Bob Run in St Moritz, and you’ll find out what it’s like to descend 100 feet to the bottom of Windermere in the English Lake District in a high-tech submersible.
Other highlights include being the first Englishman to drive a dogsled across the Russian border from Finland into Karelia, plus there's a variety of trekking stories from Crete and Corsica to Finland, Nepal, Kazakhstan and the Falkland Islands. There's even a ghost story from the Scottish Highlands thrown in for good measure!
“One of our Balloons is Missing” by Clive Tully is available from the Amazon Kindle store, price £3.16.

Valery Collins
Lawyer to Travel Writer
Just when it seemed I was going to spend my whole working life as a lawyer a career break resulted in an opportunity to travel the world as a tour manager. It was an interesting experience particularly as I was used to dealing with books and individual queries rather than groups of people all with different demands.
However, it was a good opportunity to travel and once I had learnt the job leading groups in Europe...

"Mr Safi Ullah was a tall thin man in white beard and white punjabi. He gave me tea and a copy of the headmaster’s report from 1948. As I left I pressed him to accept a 1000 taka note – a little less than £9. “For books,” I insisted. He took it under protest. “For books,” he agreed. I reflected afterwards that I had given him enough to keep a 10-year-old in school for a year."
