This weekend may not be a good time for a quiet walk in the New Forest. The sky above is going to be dominated by the Bournemouth Air Festival, with the Red Bull matadors, a Kitty Hawk and the Avro Vulcan bomber, together with air display favourites the Red Arrows, just some of the aircraft entertaining crowds on Bournemouth's beaches.
The festival kicks of today and includes an attempt this evening to break a world record when 110,000 fireworks will be set off within one minute. Don't blink!
Strictly Come Dancing's Flavia Cacace and Vincent Simone took to the dancefloor of the Hotel Piccadilly in Bournemouth, UK, as instructors on a dancing holiday. The vacation, included Tango workshops and a black tie five-course gala banquet and dance cabaret.
A series of dance holidays are scheduled throughout the year with other Strictly Come Dancing stars.
This week we are pleased to bring you a couple of videos posted by Luke Gartside (Lukedreams), so settle down to 10 minutes of action. The first shows surfers in the area just to the east of Bournemouth, that is soon to be transformed by the first artificial reef in the northern hemisphere.
And this second, rather more colourful, video shows highlights from the Animal Windfest at Sandbanks, Poole, which is just to the west of Bournemouth. It illustrates the sort of board, beach and surf activities that cause adrenaline junkies to flock to England's south coast. In case your not familiar with this region, it is bounded by the New Forest, Lymington and Solent Water to the East, and Weymouth, site of the 2012 Olympic sailing events, to the west.
After a long summer of waiting, Europe's first artificial surf reef has started to be laid at Boscombe/Southbourne, just east of Bournemouth on England's south coast. A 45 minute drive west of Bournemouth takes you to Weymouth/Portland, which is to be the sailing venue fot the 2012 Olympics.
The Boscombe reef will be the world's fourth artificial reef and is designed to double the size of waves. It is hoped that when it is finished in October, the reef will produce perfect 70 metre barrels; surfing paradise.
