Tour de France 3 July - 25 July
One way of getting some great sport in and seeing a whole country is visiting France during the Tour De France. The 2010 race, over almost 3,600km, will start with an 8km prologue in Rotterdam then run along the North Sea before heading into Belgium. The second stage chases through the Liège-Bastogne-Liège stretch, while leaders will have to be extremely cautious in the third stage, which features the treacherous cobbled sections, Paris-Roubaix. The 2010 Alpine stages aren't supposed to be too arduous, but theres's a one-stage detour in the Jura mountains which is expected to prove tricky and 56km of climb over the last 120km in the seventh stage to Station des Rousses. Those who survive the Pyrenees will then head to Bordeaux after the last rest day on 21st of July before a final individual, 51km time-trial to Pauillac through the Bordeaux vineyards. The end of the race always takes place at the Champs-Elysees, and reaching it unscathed is a supreme honour and triumph for the riders, leading to scenes of jubilation at the finishing line, followed by Parisian parties.Call 0860 400 500 or enquire online for more information on planning your trip.
One Day International Cricket England V Australia: 3rd July, Lords
Over one hundred Test matches have been played at Lord's, the first in 1884 when England defeated Australia by an innings and 5 runs. Australia's first win was in 1888 by 61 runs - so a one day game between these two nations on this hallowed ground is pretty much a cricketing pilgrimage.Call 0860 400 500 or enquire online for more information on planning your trip.
Scottish Golf Open: 8th - 11th July, Loch Lomond
The Scottish Open has been held on the stream criss-crossed Loch Lomond course since 1996 and will be there again in 2010. Behind the course are the mountains and along the perfect edges of the greens are woods - but don't let the beauty distract you from the golf at hand. Tee time is 7:30 am and from then on it's world class golf all the way all day.Call 0860 400 500 or enquire online for more information on planning your trip.
Spain, Pamplona, Los Sanfermines [Bull Running] 6 - 14 July
Six bulls are released into the streets every morning of this seven day Basque rite-of-manhood party.Call 0860 400 500 or enquire online for more information on planning your trip.
The Full Moon Party
For those looking for the ultimate all night rave, the Full Moon Party is one of the world's most popular destinations. Thailand's Ko Pha Ngan island is, every month, swamped by thousands of tourists- or 'techno tourists' as they have been dubbed- filling the beaches of Hat Rin resort and dancing hard for one night only to trance, techno, house and drum and bass- anything, in fact, that is loud, thumping and will get them through the night.Call 0860 400 500 or enquire online for more information on planning your trip.
