Racing Through the UK

Racing comes in all shapes and forms. From snail racing to speedboats, pitting the speed of one opponent against another is a pastime that can be as cheap or as outlandishly expensive as one wishes. Racing however also requires skill, training, and the right mindset for competition. In the UK, racing automobiles and horses are by far the most popular racing formats.

Camping Scotland

Considered somewhat of the adventurous type, many people thought I had lost my mind when I told them that I wanted to go on a camping trip to Scotland. My family had been to that wonderful country a few times before, but we had always stayed at the Balmoral castle hotel as it offers its guests such an extensive list of luxurious services.
