Thrill-seeker to attempt to ride 120 rollercoasters in UK in just over two weeks
A thrill-seeking man is to begin an attempt to ride every rollercoaster in the UK in little over two weeks. Dean Stokes, 36, believes he will become the first person to achieve the feat if he can succeed in riding 120 coasters across 32 theme parks in 16 days, starting in Brighton and ending at Thorpe Park. Mr Stokes worked for five years at Google before leaving the corporate ladder to set up his own business delivering technology training, having grown tired of being unable to try new things. The former UK head of Google for Education decided to set up his own YouTube channel as part of his new work and has already seen his videos about his planned adventure viewed hundreds of thousands of times across social media platforms. Mr Stokes, from Brighton, in East Sussex, told his former Google colleague Simon Fasolo, 44, about his plan to travel the UK in pursuit of the aim. And Mr Fasolo, from Perth, Australia, decided it would be a great way to explore the country – despite hating rollercoasters himself and refusing to join his friend on the rides. The two will begin at Brighton Palace Pier, home to the Crazy Mouse and Turbo rollercoasters, and, according to the route map on the website, hope to have conquered four parks and eight rides in total by the end of the first day. Mr Stokes said: 'I've ridden over 100 rollercoasters in around 25 different theme parks across 10 different countries. 'But I still haven't actually ridden loads of rollercoasters in the UK, so I just thought, why not? ' One of the reasons I left the corporate world was to have a bit more variety in the work that I do and so starting the YouTube channel on the tech side was part of that. 'And I just thought, if I was going to make a channel that was completely different to that, what would it be? And it would probably be rollercoasters and theme parks because I'm a big fan. 'I've included every rollercoaster that's classed as a thrill or extreme rollercoaster, to avoid family and children's rides. But we plan to do all of them consecutively. 'As far as I know, I think I'll be the first person to do it – the only person mad enough to do it.' Mr Stokes said he is open to ideas or suggestions from his followers on social media of tasks within the challenge. The duo have booked around half of the hotels, and plan to travel in a hire car, but delays and unforeseen issues could lead to a stressful journey. He said: 'I think it's going to be quite a lot of stress at points, but I'm looking forward to it overall. 'On social media, I realised it was really resonating with people. 'I think people want to go out and have fun and I think that often we are too scared to get out and just do the things that we love, especially as adults. 'There's this whole community out there that loves theme parks, whether they're proper enthusiasts or just people that like going in the summer with their family, and they are now really excited to follow my progress.' He added: 'Someone commented and said it is the UK theme park enthusiast's dream. It might be difficult, so I'll have to decide whether it feels like a dream at the end of it or not. There are theme parks the two plan to visit across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and they are planning on driving to Dublin for an extra set of rides in the Republic of Ireland. Mr Stokes is excited to support many of the amusement parks which are run as independent businesses, as well as visiting historic seaside resorts, such as Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach, which is over a hundred years old. He has asked for permission to film for his YouTube, TikTok and Facebook, and a number of the theme parks have even offered him free tickets. Mr Stokes said: 'A lot of the parks have come back to me and are really on board with the whole idea. 'I need the good summer weather to continue, as I've only packed shorts and T-shirts, and one jacket. But if it all goes to plan, it should be a great trip 'And I'm already looking for inspiration for my next challenge once it's complete – I think the natural next step would be to choose another country and do the same. 'Germany has loads of world world-class theme parks, so we could go and do it there. 'But maybe it could be a country that I've never been to. I know Japan has a few theme parks that'd be cool to get around. But I'll do well to finish this challenge first.'

Vineyards, saunas and gardens — 33 grown-up days out for summer
N eed an escape from entertaining the children this summer? From a lakeside sauna with a spa to a sunset swim followed by an alfresco feast in ancient woodlands and open-air theatre in some of the UK's most beautiful gardens, we have rounded up 33 of the best (adult only) days out in the country. Some even include the option of chic cabins and luxury hotel stays, should you choose to make a mini-break of it. Fforest Farm, Cardigan, Ceredigion Within 200 acres of beautiful leafy countryside beside the river Teifi gorge, you'll find Fforest Farm, a chic glamping site with an outdoor nature spa and a tiny pub built from quarry stones. On summer weekends Fforest Farm opens its doors for a series of evening barbecue feasts, some led by guest chefs (£24pp). Take in stunning views of the valley from outdoor dining tables for a menu of locally sourced produce that might include barbecued whole chickens marinated with lemon and rosemary. It's worth arriving with enough time before supper to pick up the walking trail that leads directly from the farm, through a nature reserve, all the way to the pretty town of Cardigan and the river Teifi (about 4 miles/90 minutes there and back).

Beautiful UK staycation 'dupe' boasts stunning beach 'just like the Caribbean'
A hidden and remote beach in the UK has been compared to it's similarities of a Caribbean beach - and many visitors hail it as one of the 'most beautiful beaches in the world' Experiencing the Caribbean doesn't have to be a pipe dream anymore as there's a 'dupe' of the tropical location right here in the UK. With powdery white sand and crystal clear waters you can experience the same at this stunning beach located in Britain - perhaps just without the guaranteed sunshine and warm temperatures. While you may not associate the UK with the Caribbean, according to walking shoe brand Fitflop, one of the UK's most breathtaking beaches is Luskentyre Beach, Isle of Harris, Scotland. With a white sandy beach, turquoise sea and a wide sweeping bay, it's located on the wild and west coast of the Isle of Harris. The Isle of Harris is in the Outer Hebrides, a group of islands northwest of mainland Scotland. Luskentyre is the most famous beach in the Outer Hebrides and one of the best Harris beach. It is often listed as one of the prettiest beaches in Europe in Tripadvisor award rankings. The stunning picturesque beach offers a surreal contrast between tropical looking scenery and the crisp Hebridean air. Despite 'Caribbean holidays' racking up 27,100 searches a month, beach lovers wanting jaw-dropping beauty without the long-haul flight should pop this Scottish stunner on their bucket list. Dubbed "one of the most beautiful beaches in the world' by one TripAdvisor user, the beach has gained a stellar 4.9 star rating by visitors. One person said: "Luskentyre Bay is a little slice of Maldives on the coast of the Isle of Harris, Outer Hebrides - honestly worth the drive." While another added: "This beach is Outstanding!!! I've never seen anything quite like it before. The views on the drive up to the car park are other-worldly. Beautiful turquoise water, soft golden sand that stretches for miles, grass covered dunes." Walking is one of the top things to do in Isle of Harris, especially along the beach and on a sunny day when the tide is out this beach can get a bit busy which is very unusual in the Outer Hebrides. Most of the beaches you will have completely to yourself. However some visitors advised for swimming, Seilebost and Huisinis on Harris are better - unless you have a wetsuit and are an experienced wild swimmer. This is because the water temperatures rarely get above low teens (Celsius). Another UK hidden gem is Saltwick Bay. If you're seeking a unique seaside holiday this summer, this underrated beach is definitely worth considering. Located just 1.8 miles (roughly a 10-minute drive) from Whitby, Saltwick Bay attracts significantly fewer visitors throughout the year. The beach offers the perfect coastal escape for those in search of something a bit different. The Yorkshire beach is truly a marvel, with its golden sands, clear blue waters, and a treasure trove of fossils waiting to be unearthed. At low tide, you can even spot the shipwrecks of the Admiral Von Tromp and the SS Rohilla hospital ship, as well as the submerged remains of the SS Brentwood, reports the Express.
