			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fishing is the most popular past-time in the United Kingdom, and here we introduce the various styles of angling in the United Kingdom.  It&#8217;s a wonderful way to be outdoors, and there is a growing fishing community in the UK with many clubs and contests patronized by many fishing fantatics. </p>
<p>How does one go about fishing? You just need a fishing rod, a reel, some bait, and the ability to sit down in one area for a very long time! Where you live in the UK will influence the type of angling you&#8217;ll be getting up to.  There&#8217;s game fishing which involves catching much larger fish, often within contests., and  then there&#8217;s coarse fishing which can be done in rivers, lakes and in the sea.  It&#8217;s better to take up the sort of angling that doesn&#8217;t involve you driving far &#8211; best to have a stream or lake close by that you can get to at a in just minutes &#8211; as the great thing about fishing is the fact it&#8217;s a location you can go to relax.  </p>
<p>Coarse fishing is a term used for angling kinds of freshwater fish other than game fish. It&#8217;s especially popular in the UK and mainland Europe. The sorts of fish you can expect to find on the end of your line when coarse fishing can be pike, dace, roach, tench and bream amongst many other species of fish. For coarse fishing, you just require a typical <a href="http://www.nailorsfishing.co.uk/Fishing-Rod-and-Reel--Kits/C8-1-0.htm">fishing rod</a>, a fishing reel, maybe an angling tripod (to rest the fishing rod), some groundbait, some fishing keepnets and fishing landing nets.</p>
<p>Game fishing is a kind of  fishing, pinpointing large fish celebrated for their difficulty in reeling in, like marlin. Having said all that, game fishing can also include trout and salmon. </p>
<p>To catch a fish, you&#8217;ll require some tackle!  Fishing tackle is utilized to tempt fish to the secret hook.  Traditionally, nightcrawlers, insects, and smaller fish are applied for this role. Fishermen are also now using fake plastic tackle and, more recently, electronic baits, to attract fish.  Surveys indicate that natural fishing tackle like shrimp are more recognized by fish and thus more successful. </p>
<p>Fishing is particularly popular in the warmer months when the temperature is warmer and the days are long, and nighttime fishing isn&#8217;t so freezing chilly.  Fishing can be as inexpensive as you want it to be.  You can get yourself a fishing rod, a fishing reel, some bait, a fishing license, and away you go! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
Cyprus is an island with strong greek traditions, but its great all year round sun is what attracts most of us, which has made it a very popular destination for Europeans, with over 2.4 million visiting its many resorts. Cyprus basks is more than 330 clorious days of sun each year, which has given it the name The Island of the Sun.  With plenty of travel agents able to arrange <a href="http://www.cyprusholidays.com/">Cyprus holidays</a> and budget airlines such as Easyjet offering routes to Paphos and Larnaca, there has never been a better time to visit.
</p>
<p>
While attracting visitors from around the world, most of them tend to be Europeans. In recent years Russians and Poles have become poolside regulars alongside the French, Germans and, of course, us Brits..  The British Armed Forces have long has a presence in Cyprus.  The UK retains a military base in order to have a gateway for forces to the Middle East.  The impact of this on the surrounding area is that Cypriots have grown used to, and in turn, now cater for the Brits.  From English being spoken everywhere you go, to driving on the left side of the road. A major attraction for many Brit tourists is that the island offers all of the comforts and familiarities of home, but we also get to bask in the sun.
</p>
<p>Much of olden Cyprus is giving away to culture that is more eclectic and less traditional.   However, this side of Cyprus, that continues to attract millions of tourists year after year, is only one aspect of the island and is concentrated around the tourist hotspots of Paphos, Larnaca and Ayia Napa.  Fortunately as you venture off the beaten track, your are soon reminded of the character that has made this island a popular destination for millennia.
</p>
<p>Its worth tearing yourself away from the beach and visiting the Troodod Mountains if you can.  In the heart of the mountains you will find the Kykkos monastery, a UNESCO world heritage site since 1998.   Housing art and exhibits on ancient Greece, the monastery has the twin function of being a museum for visitors and a practising monastery lived in by worshiping monks.  If you are a wine lover, there are treats in store for you.  A daytrip to the Troodos Mountains can be a welcome change from the beach and with overnight accommodation available in many of the authentic villages dotted about; you might want to spend a few days here sampling another side of Cyprus.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>They flexed their muscles this year all the in name of the Olympic spirit, but it was hardly spirited at all.&#8221;
<p> However, the decision to actualize a long-time personal goal left Andrew Brash with some internal uncertainties, he cited the political actions of China and Nepal as providing the greatest adversity he faced on his journey. More than 3300 people have climbed to the summit since it was first conquered in 1953 by New Zealander Edmund Hillary, who died in January, and Nepal&#8217;s Tenzing Norgay.</p>
<p> The 74-year-old man from Nepal is now the oldest person to have reached the top of the Mount Everest. &#8220;Mount Everest this year became a political pawn,&#8221; he said with some frustration.</p>
<p> Nepalese man, 75, oldest climber to reach the summit of Mt Everest. Bahadur Sherchan last attempt resulted in the rescue of Lincoln Hall, an Australian climber who was left by his team in the &#8220;death zone.&#8221;</p>
<p> Sherchan  just 17 days away from his 77th birthday  beat the age record set last year by 71-year-old Japanese teacher Katsusuke Yanagisawa.</p>
<p> &#8220;The Chinese weren&#8217;t allowing anybody on Chomolungma. They ended up commandeering it for themselves, even though Everest is shared by two countries. His first found him within 218 metres of the peak when his team stopped to help a fellow mountaineer who was left for dead. One year later, Min Bahadur Sherchan, a University of Calgary alumni, returned to Chomolungma or Mount Everest to finish what he had started.</p>
<p> The Chinese were flying their airplanes over the Mount Everest and had Chinese officials in Kathmandu. With the Chinese preparing for the impending summer Olympic Games, Bahadur Sherchan noted that the government&#8217;s actions hardly reflected the Olympic spirit. Nevertheless, he was all too aware of the potential dangers Chomolungma could bring. Certain parts of the climb are more dangerous than others and it is important for climbers to remain focused Andrew Brash returned this week from Nepal after successfully climbing to the summit of Mt Everest. Andrew Brash and four climbing guides reached the 29,035-foot (8,850-meters) summit of the world&#8217;s highest mountain early Sunday, said Ramesh Chretri, an official with Nepal&#8217;s ministry of tourism.</p>
<p> This season <a href="http://anthonyloeff.com/77-jarige-op-top-mount-everest/" title="French mountaineer Anthony Loeff">French mountaineer Anthony Loeff</a> is reporting the scales for Everest after reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro earlier this year.</p>
<p> They basically coerced the Nepali government to not allow any climbers past camp two on the Nepali side. Hall was frostbitten and severely disoriented due to altitude sickness. Min Bahadur Sherchan returned a hero to Calgarians. Now that Bahadur Sherchan has successfully scaled the tallest mountain in the world, he is once again ready to focus on his family. As he planned for the climb, Sherchan told reporters he wanted to inspire fellow senior citizens. He also said many Nepalese have established records on Mount Everest, so it was only fitting that the record for the oldest climber to reach the summit should also belong to a Nepali.</p>
