Jazz Club - A Walk In The Black Forest - Horst Jankowski

Walk the Line said the Man in Black

Advantages: An engaging, touching story and exceptional performances
Disadvantages: Very little

"Walk the Line" chronicles the early years of legendary Country singer Johnny Cash from his childhood days, through to his rise to fame as a singer, his romance with June Carter, his decline into drug addiction and culminating in the now legendary concert at Folsom Prison in 1968. There is nothing I enjoy more than a really good biopic, one which entertains, educates and excites you whenever you watch it. For me "Walk the Line" fits that scenario perfectly, leaving me fully entertained once the film has finished, in fact despite its 124 minute duration it leaves me wanting more. What also makes this film so enjoyable is that whilst it sounds like a pretty stock storyline it is made all that more special because it is also an amazing true love story. As is often the case with biopics we get a look at the life of Johnny Cash from ...

Review of Walk The Line (DVD)

'Walking in the rain...'

Advantages: A superb introduction to the Emerald Isle's walking possibilities...
Disadvantages: ...so long as you've been previously introduced to walking in the first place

treatise on the flora and fauna of the Irish mountains, a similar essay on the geology, and a highly convincing explanation of why it seems to rain to an Ark-fabricating extent. Then there's the stuff you do need to know, such as how to get there and where to stay when you do (although with the book published in 2001 it's fair to say that such advice has been rendered slightly out-of-date by Michael O'Leary's happy band of brigands and the Internet respectively), and the slightly prickly subject of access (of which more later). And to register a picky complaint: while obviously what constitutes 'safety in the mountains' will always come down to person opinion, Lynam's advice on solo walking seem rooted in the days before mobile phones. (Oh, and the photos are sparse, black and white and rubbish. Just in case you thought they'd be ravishing ...

Review of Best Irish Walks - Joss Lynam

The Black Forest, A place of dreams

Advantages: Excellent hill walking, Low Key Ski resort in the winter
Disadvantages: None! well, its a bit isloated.... but that's good right?

Well to start of i'll get it out of my system... im a quater german, that hails from the black forest town of Triberg (held the Ice skating winter olypics back in the 20's!). But being embarassed of my heritage is something I am most ceratinly NOT. The Black Forest is a Wonderful Place to go on holiday for the young and old alike. There's something to do for everyone. During the summer the blackforest is made up of rolling hills, beautiful fields of flowers and some of the most breathtaking scenary in the whole of Europe. It is EXCELLENT hill walking territory, with the guest houses FULL to the brim during the summer months. Excellent places to go include the town of Schonwald, which translates into 'Beautiful valley' which has an amazing view coupled with some of the best restaurants in the black forest. The black ...
