Advantages: More control, more comfort, very fast Disadvantages: Must enter on toe edge
...I bought a pair of these bindings because I though they might stop my hands getting so cold when I had to take my gloves off to fasten my Emery regular bindings. Boy, did they do more than that.
Firstly, they are so quick to put on. Instead of cranking tight those ratchets - all four of them - you just put your foot in and snap shut the clamp.
Secondly, and more importantly for me, when the clamp is shut, you get far more control over your board. One problem I always had with regular bindings was that my foot slid around an awful lot - with Flow bindings your feet stay in the same place making turns smoother and easier. They also come with numerous ways of adjusting the fittings - my tip is to do this before you hit the slopes and not during as I found out one day when I spent about half an hour tightening the back - which I had...

Advantages: Challenging but accessible course for mid handicappers Disadvantages: Not hard enough for better players and not the best course in the area
...Chelsfield Lakes Golf Club
'A good walk spoiled' is how one man once described golf but he was obviously a fool as there are few better ways to pass the time than by playing this most majestic of sports.

Advantages: enetertainment, price Disadvantages: viewing is not brilliant
...Newmarket is the only place within the UK to have two racecourse, the July Course and the Rowley Mile. Newmarket is famous for its racing community and it houses many famous horse racing attractions such as the National Stud, the Horseracing Museum and the British Racing School.
Racing in Newmarket takes place throughout the summer months and races are run on grass over flat courses with no jumps. The Rowley Mile operates race days in the spring and autumn while the July Course has meetings in the mid summer months.
PRICE
Prices vary at both courses throughout the year. Big meetings can cost up to £40 a ticket for the premier enclosures but tickets on these days can be as low as £8 in the garden enclosure. The different enclosures contain different facilites and viewing grandstands but you will still be able to view the racing...
