Dear readers
As a rite of passage, getting a tattoo must be high on the list.
But inking your body during the working week is simply something you never get
round to – too busy, too undecided on what, where and who to do it. Go on holiday,
however, and – pah! – there goes the rule book.
You’ve reinvented yourself as a super-relaxed, spontaneous kinda guy/gal. You’re
drunk on one piña colada, you’ve left your hairstyle au natural and you have to look
at an imported UK newspaper to fi nd out what the date is. Cue the tattoo. This is
what happened to me in Ibiza (p.42). Usually my pain threshold is set to: stub my toe,
burst into tears. On the White Isle, however, the promise of being needled by a sexy
pirate of a tattooist called Neil Ahern (www.inkadelic.com) got me into the chair and
holding a sugary Coke to stop me from fainting.
Two hours on I had an art-deco design between my shoulder blades and orders to
avoid the sun and chlorine for three weeks. In the height of summer…damn!
A week later Neil received a special visitor: Katie Price. The papers report how
Neil inks an X across “Peter” on her forearm. I’m surprised. Neil is a consummate
artist who will bark, “I don’t do angels or fairies!” at you. So why the nasty cross? I
Skyped Neil that evening. “It was fi lmed for their TV show. I was like, ‘Yeah, that guy’s
music was ****.’”
Neil didn’t care. He said you couldn’t buy that kind of publicity. He was right. But
catch him on a good day and he will ink you a masterpiece in his supercool studio,
with the fan whirring, the beats booming and Ibiza Town dragging its heels from fi esta
to siesta below... and if you have an old boyfriend you committed to ink that needs
deleting, well, as every pirate will tell you, X marks the spot.
And where better to show it off than my following stop, Barcelona (p.30). Woo!

Sight Specifi c
Must-see miscellany this summer
THIS IS ENGLAND
UNTIL 27 SEPTEMBER
Don McCullin didn’t have the
most promising of starts
for a world-famous photojournalist.
Having grown up
on the mean streets of
Finsbury Park in north
London, he bought his fi rst
camera while on National
Service in the 1950s but, losing
interest, he pawned it on
returning home. Fortunately,
his mother retrieved it and
later McCullin used it to take
pictures of the Guv’nors, the
gang he ran with, standing in
a bombed-out house. When
one of the gang murdered a
policeman, McCullin sold the
photograph to The Observer,
beginning a highly successful
50-year career.
McCullin is best known for
his images of war zones
from Vietnam to the Middle
East but the In England
exhibition at the National
Media Museum in Bradford
showcases his work on the
home front. From derelicts in
the East End to debutantes
in Mayfair, all are subject to
the unflinching gaze of his
lens. These high-contrast,
black-and-white photos
make England seem outlandish
and deformed, bringing it
closer somehow to those
distant confl icts.

THEATRE OF BLOOD
2–12 SEPTEMBER
When a production comes accompanied with warnings of
“scenes of a frightening nature not suitable for those with a
heart condition” you know it’s going to be a bit more interesting
than a few luvvies strutting up and down the stage.
Part of the No Boundaries season of innovative theatre
at The Lowry, Manchester, They Only Come At Night:
Resurrection starts with the intriguing premise that
the audience are VIP guests at the launch of a creepy graphic
novel about a night when shadowy creatures take over a
multistorey car park. The only trouble is that the blood-sucking
beasties aren’t content to stay on the page.

SOMETHING OLD
THINK AHEAD
Hunt out an heirloom at the
Harrogate Antique Fair
(www.harrogateantiquefair.

from a decadent silver
teapot to a suit of armour.
A showcase for the British
Antique Dealers’ Association
(BADA), the event brings
the country’s leading collectors,
and over 50 dealers, to
the Harrogate International
Centre from 2-6 October.
Stands will include furniture,
fi ne art, silverware, jewellery,
sculpture, antique glass
and work by Lancashirebased
painter, Helen Bradley
(see painting above).
Bradley was famous for
documenting life in the 1900s
in a small Lancashire mill
town through a child’s eyes
…though this Supergran
only started painting at the
age of 65. In 1979 she was
awarded an MBE for services
to the arts but died
shortly before the Queen
could do the honours.
Snap up a Bradley and
raise an Earl Grey to her talent
in the International
Centre’s restaurant.
FYI – there’s ample parking
for loading up that suit of
armour.

ReTRoRomance
Relive some mating rituals from the past
1950S…
MAKE OUT LIKE THE FONZ
Some of the things favoured
by the youth of the 1950s are
probably best forgotten –
a randomly selected list
includes bobby socks,
Brylcreem and skiffl e music.
But there are plenty of
others that have stood the
test of time. After all, who
hasn’t seen Grease and
Happy Days, or owned
a pair of Levi’s 501s and
Converse All Stars?
However, one aspect of
vintage Americana that has
remained elusive on this
side of the Atlantic is the
drive-in movie. There are
a few rare events in venues
scattered around Europe,
but if you’re willing to
dispense with the “drive”
aspect of the experience
there’s a huge choice of
open-air cinematic treats.
For maximum romance,
head to the gorgeous Parc
de la Villette at the northeastern
edge of Paris,
where the Cinéma En Plein
Air series is now in its 19th
year. It runs until 16 August,
includes a bunch of fi lms in
English and, best of all, is
absolutely free.
Make sure he brings his
leather jacket for you to
wear in case it gets parky
and bear in mind that, without
the privacy afforded by
daddy’s Chevy, it’s probably
best to avoid going past
second base.

1960S… PEACE AND LOVE
It may have summed up the
era, but Woodstock can’t
have been much fun. It rained
most of the time, there were
almost no toilets, and God
help you if you had a bad trip.
Still, the sheer number of
fortysomethings claiming to
have been conceived there
suggests there was plenty of
free love to spare.
Though music festivals
are more ubiquitous these
days, it’s still possible to do
something original, such as
enjoying the Channel Islands’
Indian summer at Jersey
Live on 5 and 6 September.
The more adventurous
should try Electric Elephant
from 28 to 30 August in the
gorgeous Croatian coastal
village of Petrcane, not far
from Split. The music is more
Andrew Weatherall than
Kaiser Chiefs and there’s
a big old party boat that
takes revellers for a cosmic
cruise on the Adriatic.
One word of advice: if you
want to get up close and
personal, do it at the start.
After three days in a tent
with only wet wipes to stay
clean, even the greatest
love can be sorely tested.

1970S…
GET YOUR SKATES ON
If there was ever an era
when anything went, it was
the 1970s. Possibly the best
way to get down with the
freewheeling spirit of those
times is to do a bit of actual,
erm, freewheeling.
You can get your skates
on – and your knee and
elbow pads, too, if you’re
not feeling too confi dent – at
the Skate Fever roller disco
at Jongleurs, Leeds, every
Wednesday. From 9pm until
the wee small hours you can
roll and bounce to a vintage
soundtrack mixed up by the
city’s very own jazz-funk
superstar, DJ Starchild.
There’s an alarming
amount of spandex and
DayGlo here, so no matter
how far you delve into the
darker recesses of the
decade you won’t look out of
place. If you need to stock up
on crushed-velvet hot pants
and polyester polo necks,
try the Blue Rinse vintage
emporium on the other side
of the city centre (www.blue
rinseleeds.co.uk).
It’s not entirely clear how
roller-skating would have
worked on a romantic level,
but it seems likely that the
principle of random collision
played some kind of role. All
you need to do is make sure
you’re the one your beloved
crashes into.

Hot
Water
Can’t wait to get wet and wild this summer?
Wendy Saunt dons her cozzie and goes in search of
what’s sizzling in the world of watersports

1 Come on, wake up!
Thrill-seeking types have long
been fans of wakeboarding.
Maybe it’s something about
roaring along behind a boat
with just a board between you
and an almighty headache;
maybe it’s that the impressive
tricks prove highly popular
with the opposite sex; maybe
it’s the thrill of knowing that
one false move and your togs
are toast – who knows?
These days, the truly fearless
are giving wakeskating
a go instead. It’s the same
principle as wakeboarding –
you, a boat and a tow rope –
but it dispenses with the girly
extras, namely the bindings
that fi x you to the board. The
moves are similar to skateboarding
– hence the name –
and the opportunities to fall
off are signifi cantly greater.
Bearing that in mind, having
lessons is a sensible idea. If
you want to make a holiday of
it, get good real quick and
have the added benefi t of not
spending most of the day in
sub-zero water, you should
consider doing a course
somewhere hot like Ibiza.
As well as a comprehensive
board-riding camp in which
you can try out kitesurfi ng and
SUP (stand up and paddle)
techniques, ’Beefa’s Nomad
Surfers runs special wakeboarding
and wakeskating
courses. So, what are you
waiting for? All aboard!
Wakeboard camp from £512
a week, board-riding camp from
£450. www.nomadsurfers.com
2 Spoiling for a foiling
If you’re a big fan of messing
about in boats, but get frustrated
with being dragged
down with the drag, then foiling
is the sport for you. Why
hold yourself back with the
old-school, hull-in-the-water
routine when you can really let
rip with some high-tech hydrofoils?
Why indeed.
Foiling is a sexy new way of
sailing that combines superlight,
streamlined boat hulls
and rigs with the hydrofoil
technology pioneered in
Aussie sailing nut Rohan Veal’s
Bladerider boats. With most

3 Skim reading
While sports such as foiling
are the result of advances in
technology and years spent
fi ne-tuning prototypes, skimboarding
appears to be the
result of someone throwing
a tray at the water and thinking
it would be fun to run and jump
on it. Simple and low-tech
it may be, but easy it ain’t.
A heady mix of surfing and
skateboarding, it requires balance,
agility and the ability to
You’ll soon be performing eye-popping
hydroplaning tricks in the shallows
stop the skittish board shooting
out from under you the
minute you set foot on it.
Get it right, though, and
you’ll soon be performing eyepopping
hydroplaning tricks in
the shallows; master it and
you’ll be pulling off death-defying
moves on water-mounted
rails and in artificial tube
waves – all this from a plucky
little sport invented in the
1920s by bored lifeguards on
Laguna Beach amusing themselves
with pieces of wood.
Despite its accessibility
(boards start at £20 and you
don’t need to faff about the
quality of the surf – in fact, you
can skim on ponds and lakes.
Hell, you could even do it on
wet grass if you really wanted),
it’s tricky to grasp the basics.
So, if you want to cut out the
painful beginner’s bit which
involves a signifi cant amount
of eating sand and inhaling salt
water, get some lessons.
Skimboarding’s still something
of a niche sport so
teachers aren’t ten a penny,
but Tayurth, in Las Americas,
Tenerife, is one of the few
places which offers official
tuition. And with the added
bonus of being taught by a surf
dude, you’ll be able to master
the lingo long before you
actually master the sport.

And So To Souk

takes JetAway on a mouth-watering tour of her local markets
ABOVE: JETAWAY’S ISRAELI FOOD
EXPERT JANNA GUR
BELOW: FRESH PRODUCE FOR SALE
IN MAHANE-YEHUDA, JERUSALEM
Israel is part of the Middle
East, and in the Middle East
the open-air market, also
known as the souk, is one of
the most popular places of
commerce. Even today,
when supermarkets are
preferred for everyday
shopping, the souk retains
its charm.
These open-air markets
are fi rst and foremost food
markets. As such, they are
intimately tied to the local
cuisine. Housewives, chefs,
restaurant owners, locals
and tourists all fl ock to the
stands in search of fresh
produce and other foodstuffs.
As markets evolve
into tourist attractions, many
stands are adding ready-to-
eat street food to their usual
offerings, giving visitors
a taste of the local fare.
Produce is fresh and
accessible and you can
examine the fruit and vegetables
at your leisure.
Butchers offer freshly
slaughtered chickens, complete
with feet, feathers and
cockscombs. Fishmongers
will net the carp you pick
from a tank then gut and
clean it. Prices are negotiable
and haggling is the norm.
Vendors often employ funny
songs and other theatrics to
promote their goods. The
atmosphere is dense, casually
familiar, cheerful and
noisy, with added urgency as
the weekend draws near.
The two most picturesque
general markets are the
Carmel Market in Tel Aviv
(established in 1927) and
Mahane-Yehuda in
Jerusalem (established in
1928). Both are primarily
food markets with the
emphasis on fresh produce,
and yet each reflects the
unique character of its city.
The clientele of the Carmel
Market is a heady mix of
sophisticated urban types,
foreign workers (mainly
from South-East Asia), new
immigrants (mostly from the
Soviet Union), and inhabitants
of the neighbouring
Yemenite Quarter. The
offerings range, accordingly,
from budget clothes to
organic herbs, boutique
cheeses to exotic products
from the Far East.
Mahane-Yehuda is
Jerusalem to the core. Most
of the shoppers and vendors
seem to have known
each other for years. There
are fewer stalls with fancy
vegetables and a larger
range of authentic balladi
(indigenous) produce. Most
of the shoppers are house-

wives, mainly Sephardic,
and the vast majority of the
goods are strictly kosher.
Another souk worth visiting
is the Lewinski Market in
southern Tel Aviv. No longer
confi ned to its original building,
it has spilled over into
nearby streets with exotic
spices, dried fruits, legumes,
nuts, rice and pasta,
smoked, pickled and dried
fi sh, olives, pickles, oils and
ethnic pastries. Foodies and
chefs come here to buy
Greek olives, real lakerda
(Turkish pickled fi sh), dried
Persian lemons and rare
condiments.
Finally, there are also the
roving markets that operate
at a different venue each
day of the week. A good
example is the Ramla-Lod
market. Once a popular
local market in Ramla, it can
now be found at a different
pre-announced location
each weekday. Further
afi eld, a lovely market operates
on weekends in Ma’alot
Tarshica in western Galilee,
which is amicably shared by
Arab and Jewish vendors
and farmers.

FROM THE NOTEBOOK TO THE TIME
TRAVELER’S WIFE, RACHEL MCADAMS
REMAINS HOLLYWOOD’S LITERARY LEADING LADY
WANTED: Best-selling novelist
with fervent fan base to provide
source material for A-list actress’s
future fi lm-development projects.
Authors and literary agents are
encouraged to send all submissions
to the attention of R McAdams c/o
United Talent Agency, Beverly
Hills, California.
Jet2.com 25

OK, so you may not see an advertisement like
this in the pages of Variety or The Hollywood
Reporter any time soon, but the concept
doesn’t seem so far-fetched when you consider Rachel
McAdams’s résumé.
The 30-year-old Canadian actress has appeared in
nine films since her breakthrough role opposite
Lindsay Lohan in 2004’s Mean Girls, a third of which
have been based on best-selling books. Unfortunately
the truth is, with her last decent box-offi ce hit way
back in 2005 (The Family Stone, which earned $92m
worldwide), she could seriously use a hit.
Up fi rst is this month’s The Time Traveler’s Wife, an
adaptation of Audrey Niffenegger’s beloved book
about handsome librarian Henry DeTamble (played
in the fi lm by Aussie actor Eric Bana), who was born
with a gene that causes him to travel through time
involuntarily. McAdams co-stars as artist Clare
Abshire, whose life evolves in a decidedly more
sequential fashion and whose passionate love for Henry
is continuously tested over time. Filmed largely in
McAdams’ native Ontario, the movie has been in the
works for years (Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston bought
the rights before the book had even been released),
and internet message boards were buzzing with
speculation about the adaptation’s merits – or lack of
– months in advance of its release.
McAdams, coming off a run of disappointing
performers including State Of Play, The Lucky Ones
and Married Life, is hopeful about the movie’s potential.
“I haven’t seen it recently, but I saw a rough cut a long
time ago. There’s time travel in it, obviously, and it’s
really cool the way that they deal with it. But Robert
Schwentke, the director, really explored how you
carry on with the love of your life when you have this
imposition. I think it’s time for a sweeping romance,
because there hasn’t been one for a while.”
‘Love comes down to making
a choice that you believe in.
You have to have passion and
a little bit of spit and fi re’

TOP: THE TIME
TRAVELER’S WIFE
ABOVE: SHERLOCK
HOLMES
28JetAway
‘Sherlock Holmes is in true Guy
Ritchie fashion, with lots of
fighting and explosions’
It was her role in another sweeping romance
– the adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’s novel The
Notebook – that initially endeared McAdams
to audiences. Released in June of 2004 as a canny
alternative to the season’s spate of blokey action
thrillers, the fi lm proved a surprising summer
sleeper, raking in nearly $100m with its combination
of slow-burn Southern romance and threehankie
melodrama. Considering the fact that her
other big hit, 2005’s Wedding Crashers, was a
romantic comedy, it only seems fair to ask
McAdams how she views romance.
“You try to be as practical as you can but my
heart always wins the battle with my head,” she
admits, like a modern-day Elizabeth Bennet from
Pride And Prejudice. “Love takes a lot of time and
commitment, and I think it comes down to making
a choice you believe in. Once you’ve made that
decision, you don’t hold back: it’s everything and
the kitchen sink. I don’t know anything about love,
but my parents are still very much in love and it
takes a lot of work. You have to have passion and
a little bit of spit and fi re.”
The pressures of fame became real for McAdams
over the course of an on-again/off-again relationship
with her Notebook co-star Ryan Gosling. But
she accepts that the opportunities are more than
worth the downsides. “There’s a lot of pressure,”
she insists, “but it’s very fl attering. It’s important for
people to think that I’m competent, but you have to
go into it selfi shly – it’s a little bit dangerous to see
yourself the way other people do. I guess I just try to
enjoy it and hopefully it’ll all work out.”
Things certainly seem to be working out fi ne
for McAdams, who will follow up The Time
Traveler’s Wife by starring opposite Robert Downey
Jr and Jude Law in Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes.
Yes, it’s another literary effort, this time drawing
on the work of Scottish author Arthur Conan
Doyle (the girl is nothing else if not well read).
Though the fi lm won’t even be released until
Christmas, fans have been clamouring for details
ever since Ritchie began discussing the project at
the 2008 Toronto Film Festival. “I didn’t realise
how big it was until I stepped on the sets. They
were just massive. It’s in true Guy Ritchie fashion,
with lots of fi ghting and explosions. I supposedly
play Sherlock’s love interest,” she says with a laugh,
“but it’s really Watson!”
Which book she may get inspiration from next
is anyone’s bet, but she defi nitely has a reading list.
“I always think, ‘Oh, I’m gonna see everybody on
my days off. I’m gonna read so many books…’”
With a little luck, one may even be a Jackie Cooper
– we can always live in hope!

TAPAS WITH A VIEW

“Dining options [include] the open-air terrace to Michelinstarred
chef Sergi Arola’s contemporary tapas place, Arola
(closed Monday and Tuesday). You’re only a hop from the
beach, but seafront gardens encompass a swimming pool
and hot tub, while the jaw-dropping Six Senses spa
occupies the top two fl oors.”
Rough Guide
“For LA-style glamour and a view of the Mediterranean,
look no further than the Hotel Arts, which was built for the
Olympics and has been housing supermodels and tycoons
ever since. [There are] complimentary Mini Coopers for the
duration of the visit. Decor is slick, sunny and modern.”
Time Out
BURN THE BOOKS: So let’s talk about Arola. Yes, the space
was “slick, sunny and modern”, opening onto the terrace,
with glass surfaces, photographic prints as tabletops, and
a sleek, temperature-controlled wine stash.
There were no supermodels but a glamorous woman on
a date was forced to drop the attitude when her four-inch
heel broke and she had to limp to the exit. There were tunes
from the chef ’s brother, who nailed the geek-chic with
a funky DJ set, from James Brown to the Young Disciples.
The set tapas menu for 48 euros included one main
(I chose fi llet of beef with three mustards, peppers and
cherries – wow!), three dishes (which included king crab
salad and aubergine with balsamic vinegar and pine nuts –
OMG!) and sweet treats. The whole thing took four hours
to eat and digest. Go on the last night of your trip so the
calories don’t show up on your hips till you’re back home.
The spa? If you’re cashed up, do it for the views from the

masseur than the brittle Catalonian who told me I’d have

IS IT ART?
…DECIDE AT THE MACBA
“No work of art inside the MACBA (Museu d’Art Contemporani de
Barcelona) can quite live up to the wow factor of Richard Meier’s cool
iceberg of a museum. Inside, the shows are heavily political in concept and
occasionally radical to the point of inaccessibility. If you can’t, or won’t, see
the socio-political implications of, say, a roomful of beach balls, the MACBA
may leave you cold.”
Time Out Shortlist
“The imaginatively restored building is a prime example of the juxtaposition
of the old and new; originally built in 1714 on the site of the 14th-century
Augustinian convent, it was for hundreds of years an infamous workhouse
and lunatic asylum. At the back of the building, the C3 cafe-bar has
a sunny terressa on the square joining the CCCB to the MACBA.”
Rough Guide
BURN THE BOOKS: “True, Time Out Shortlist, no work of art inside can
live up to this iceberg – not just the exterior but the glacial inside. In fact,
there’s so much sexy white space it’s hard to fi nd the art itself.
One of the best exhibits in there was Rita McBride’s Arena; a fl imsy,
fabricated wooden structure that looks like it comes in a fl at-pack.
In the stinking heat of high summer it was an escape into cool air-con

square while I tore bites off a tasty ham and cheese piadina (fl atbread wrap)

Ibiza After-Party
IF YOU’RE ALL CLUBBED OUT ON THE WHITE ISLAND
AND THE BALEARIC BEATS HAVE GIVEN YOU A HEADACHE, HERE’S
HOW TO PUT YOURSELF BACK TOGETHER
TEXT LUCILLE HOWE | PHOTOS CORBIS
I sweep my fi nger across a holistic pie
chart that spells out the words, “urinary, bones,
heart, skin…” and as I do, therapist Georgia has
one hand on my thigh while the other spins
a silver weight in my aura. Yes, my aura. She
furtively writes down a series of numbers until
I fi nish pointing at words and she opens a folder
to tell me what pearls of wisdom these numbers
correspond to. “Disharmony in the family… is
there any right now?” she asks. Nope, none at all,
I tell her. “Do you feel like you’re giving
a lot and not receiving the same in return?”
God, do I ever! “And it says here there may
be big lifestyle changes. A new job, perhaps.”
Erm, I hope not.

At the end of this vibrational healing session I walk
out with what looks like two rows of contraceptive
pills Sellotaped to my back and strict instructions to
leave them attached for two hours while their mystical

This is not Ibiza as I remember it, when I danced
at Pacha nightclub and grinned like a goon as a papiermâché
octopus was waved at me by a woman in
a fl uorescent catsuit on stilts. This new, recessionfriendly

Georgina is part of Team Time Out at Ibiza Day
Retreats (www.ibizadayretreats.com), which is run by
two blissed-out blondes and offers bespoke packages
including yoga, life-coaching, foot massages, NLP and
meditation with the best experts on the island. All wild
locks and aligned chakras, Larah “with an h” used to
run a design shop on London’s King’s Road. Now she
grows her own tomatoes and passes around a rose
quartz stone, which, she says, encourages self-love.
Her business partner, Katja, is a 6ft-tall, horseriding,

in her deluxe fi n c a in the hills. Together they aim to
aid guests beat recession depression, help overstretched
parents reconnect, party people detox and make the
most of the island’s energy. “Ibiza is a very magnetic
island,” explains Larah. “There are ley lines which
resonate a special psychic or mystical energy and the
soil has a high crystal composite which vibrates.”
Larah only wears white by day which, she says, is

90% of synthetic fabrics from her wardrobe in a bid
to get back to nature and its resources. At this point,
I gingerly grasp the hem of my highly fl ammable
Topshop dress and hope nobody notices.
A quick trip to the hippy markets at Las Dalias on
Saturday – a fi xture throughout summer – and I soon
have a silk/cotton mix shirt/dress for only 25 euros
(about £22) so I can hang out with the new-age crew,
guilt free. As much as everyone is whining about the
euro right now I still recommend saving your pennies
for the batik fabrics on sale here; they’re so sheer, light
and buttery against your skin it feels like you’re naked
wearing them.
HOT TO TROT
Everywhere in Ibiza this summer people are selling
the spirituality of the island. The happy, hippy days
are back – and just in time for anyone who feels the
threat of redundancy is making a day at the offi ce
resemble a game of Russian Roulette. Ask German,
an island legend and equestrian who used to ride into
Pacha on horseback and dismount into a fl amenco
routine (until health and safety had a word). “Those
were the days when Pacha was just a great big shed,”
clarifi es Larah nostalgically.
Now, the handsome stud runs an equestrian centre
and a leather shop called Ya (Paseo de Vara de Rey 21,
Ibiza Town. +34 971 307 334) in order to work with
the natural material he loves best. After modelling
a Chilean poncho, woven so tightly it’s waterproof,
he spontaneously decides to make a belt. Deftly slicing
some leather with a scalpel, he then fl ips and smooths
the strap which warms in his hands until, gradually,
pierced and grooved, it emerges into a very Ibithencan
and boho accessory – a purchase that now has a history
and character, more unique than anything massproduced
in Asia for the high street. Does he pine for
the days he clubbed bareback? Not on your life.
From Ya I rejoin Katja from Ibiza Retreats to
explore the island the way she prefers – on horseback
via the Horse Country Club. For anyone feeling
wrecked after the party’s over, rocking astride a mare
that’s doing all the hard work for you is the best way
to get around. What’s more, the island is full of
thoroughbreds owned by rich celebs like Jade Jagger
who let these equestrian centres use and groom them

while they globetrot. There are several advantages to
riding on the White Island. First up, it’s so hot and
relaxed that the animals are very easy-going, which
is great for beginners. The only times my horse shows
any signs of playing up is when it takes a snack break
to munch on some wild fennel. As naughty as it is,
this means I take the risk of trading my helmet for
a cowboy hat. It’s one of those chances you only take
on holiday, but to feel like a pioneer in the great
outdoors is defi nitely worth it.
The second draw is the terrain. Ibiza is really green
which, for an island with some great weather, is rare.
The landscape is carved out with knotted olive trees,
fi g trees, lavender fi elds, fennel, fertile red earth, stone
walls and salt lakes. Modern roads arrived just 30 years
ago, but for the most part island life is off the beaten
track, and the more intriguing for it.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
If partying back in the day was fuelled by Lucozade
and midnight munchies then Zen benders are properly
catered for here with impressive pit stops such
as the Parawdiso cafe in Santa Gertrudis (Venda de
Fruitera 4. +34 971 197 528).
The white, shabby-chic furniture is juxtaposed with
hanging birdcages decorated with bright bursts of
feathers, beads and disco balls, and the menus are bound
into second-hand, hardback, classic books on each
table. Serving “beauty food for happy people”, as it
boasts, Parawdiso offers a raw menu - an appealing
proposition, but anyone who pictures a plate of salad
and feels their stomach rumble in response needn’t
worry. An Asian salad with onion bread, spiced and
toasted seeds will fi ll you up way past siesta. No-fat,
no-sugar, no-diary never tasted so good. Add organic,
fair-trade coffee, fresh juices and ecological wines and
there’s really no need to toxify to get high.

the back of her legs and exudes so much natural beauty
I want to pocket her for a fashion shoot. Parawdiso is
a great example of the new spaces in Ibiza offering as
much off the menu as on, with weekly meet-ups for
creative women where Sarah uses her fashion background
to show how to customise your clothes.
SO SPA SO GOOD
No Ibiza after-party experience would be complete
without some TLC for the body you’ve punished for
so long. Cue Atzaró hotel (Carretera San Juan km15,
Santa Eulàlia, near San Lorenzo. +34 971 338 838,

of the island’s agroturismo scene in which properties
sustain themselves off the land.

Set in a huge orange grove with the scent of orange
blossom on the breeze, the place seems to be fuelled
on this sweet and seductive vitamin C, with jugs of
the stuff glistening in corners of the Arabic/Asiatic
fusion interiors. It’s like Charlie And The Chocolate
Factory for the healthy.
It’s here that I’m met by Rachel Parsons, mother of
three and an English expat who has only left the island
three times in 12 years. And, really, why would you?
Rachel is the Atzaró PR angel who educates me on
the pleasures of this knockout hotel and leads me past
a 43m lap pool to the Balinese spa where I enjoy
a facial that was so much better than the usual cackhanded
therapist smearing sticky stuff on your face
leading to a breakout a week later. Instead, Sandrine
uses her feather fi ngers to such effect that I don’t even
notice the pampering has begun until I snap out of
my daydream and realise I’ve had an Indian head

Elemis products gently applied to my skin to give me
a glow I couldn’t even get watching a newborn smile
for the fi rst time. You don’t need to be a guest to make
use of the facilities, but you do have to pay 25-35
euros (£21-£26), depending on the time of year, for
a day pass, or 105 euros (£90) for the facial. Luckily,
rates are reasonable and a glass of the citrus elixir after
doubles the feel-great factor.
BEAT THAT
I’ve been in the saddle, the massage chair and the lotus
position and though I may not have gone back to the
dancefl oor, there’s a major party in my chakras. As the
sun starts to set and a full moon rises, we end the day
at Benniras beach, a secluded cove in the north of the
island, where every Sunday spontaneous percussion
sees the red sun disappear to a rousing drum roll. I’ve
not been around so many dreadlocks or so much tiedye
since I was a student, but my cynicism doesn’t
survive long when the times get tribal. Is the party
over? Actually, no. It’s just that this summer in Ibiza,
you look a whole lot better in the morning.

RUNNING A MARATHON THROUGH VOLCANOES AND SWIMMING THROUGH SWELLS,
IRONMAN LANZAROTE IS EXERCISE TO THE EXTREME
The logic which persuades someone to enter
an Ironman event clearly comes from the same
warped part of the brain as the impulse that tells
you to grab an electric fence.
Ironman is not good for you – it is self-mutilation
in trainers and trunks – but to those who revel in its
body-breaking demands it is the ultimate challenge.
Developed by US Navy special forces as a method
of testing endurance, it does exactly what it says on
the tin. A 3.8km swim followed by a 180km bike ride
and then a cheeky 42.2km run on the end is exercise
overkill, and should anyone be in any doubt what
effect this can have on the body, they would be
advised to take a look at footage from the 1982 World
Championship in Kona, Hawaii (YouTube it), a scene
of utter physical collapse.
A few hundred metres from the fi nish line, athlete
number 393, Julie Moss, is on the verge of a surprise

victory. The college student has thrown herself
hard into the swimming and driven herself even
harder in the cycling to open up a substantial lead
over the rest of the fi eld.
But in doing so she has reached – and passed – the
limits of human endurance. Asking her body for
a little bit more as she heads into a 12th hour of lungbusting
exercise, she is told “no”. Her legs collapse
from under her, she sways like a tree in a strong
breeze, and then she goes down. She hauls herself off
the road but someone has swapped her legs for two
pieces of spaghetti. She veers crazily on them like
a drunken stilt walker. Then she falls again.
This harrowing episode is repeated over and over
until within 20m of the fi nishing line her closest rival,
Kathleen McCartney, trots past her and takes the tape
fi rst. Seemingly in slow motion Moss, in one of the
most pitiful yet inspiring sights you will ever see in
sport, crawls on her hands and knees for the last few
yards watched by the horrifi ed but hypnotised crowd.
She fi nishes second, but lives to tell the tale.
By defi nition, any Ironman event is a savage test of
stamina, but within the painful world of extreme
triathlon one stands out as the most punishing.
Ironman Lanzarote is not a race that entrants head
to in search of their personal best. When the sport’s
professional circus reaches the most easterly of the
Canary Islands the numbers go out the window. The
competitors may race down Playa Grande in Puerto
del Carmen towards the sea in the murky pre-dawn
light with the best intentions, but by the time the sun
rises the punishment begins.
The cycling course, which laps the volcanic island,
includes two major mountain climbs and sections that
require the participants to cross lava fi elds. Even
downhill, the riders sometimes fi nd their progress
slowed to a crawl by strong winds from the Sahara.
A 3.8KM SWIM FOLLOWED BY A 180KM BIKE RIDE AND THEN

The temperature of the tarmac can rise so high that
competitors’ tyres literally explode.
“The bikes are ready in the pits at 7am and sometimes
you can hear the chambers just blow up because
of the heat and excessive pressure. Let me tell you,
fi nding a puncture among 1,400 bikes is not easy,”
says event mechanic Aitor Hernández.
For the majority of travellers who head to Lanzarote
to soak up the sun rather than cycle in it, and sip
Malvasia as opposed to energy drinks, traversing the
island in anything but a hire car is out of the question.
Yet since its inception in 1992, Ironman Lanzarote
has grown in popularity to such an extent that 1,300
men and women took part this year and even more
are expected next May when the Ironman circuit
passes by again. The reason?
“Your Ironman charisma is not complete without
doing this race. The normal limits don’t apply,” says
Ironman legend Paula Newby-Fraser from Zimbabwe,
an eight-time world champion.
For Britain’s Bella Bayliss, her victory in the 2009
women’s race was one of the most rewarding achievements
of an outstanding career. After a steady start in
her weakest section, the swimming, she moved up
the fi eld on the bike before surging clear during the
run to win by a 20-minute margin in nine hours,
54 minutes and 58 seconds.
Over such a period, you might expect athletes’
attention to wander at some points, if only to take
their mind off the agony, but Bella, who once had to
have her running shoes cut rather than pulled off at
the end of a race because her blood-soaked feet were
so tender due to blistering, says not.
“When I am racing Ironman I concentrate very
hard during every step of the race. It is easy to make
mistakes and ruin your race if you have your brain
switched off,” she says.

EVEN WITH A 17-HOUR TIME LIMIT, IRONMAN CLAIMS TO HAVE A PLACE FOR THE CASUAL COMPETITOR
“Since Ironman is such a long race you have to fuel
yourself during it, but eating and drinking too much
can ruin your race just as much as not eating and
drinking enough, so there is a lot to think about out
there,” she advises.
“I am very motivated to be the best athlete I can
be and it is an unbelievable feeling winning an
Ironman. I love the challenge and I especially love
Ironman Lanzarote. It’s a beautiful place, and the
course is fun and challenging.”
Bella is one half of a formidable husband-and-wife
team. Stephen, her other half, is also a world-class
Ironman competitor and came fi fth behind the winner,
Belgium’s Bert Jammaer, in Lanzarote this year.
In 2008, six months before they were married, the
couple recorded a notable double by winning the
men’s and women’s races at Ironman South Africa.
“We are a huge support to each other, we want each
other to succeed and are happy for each other when
we are successful,” Bella says. “We are both full-time
Ironman athletes. We understand each other’s goals
and the dedication required to reach those goals.
“We do a lot of our training together and we don’t
like being apart so we tend to race the same races. We
fi nd that preparing for the same races works well for
us. We are a great little team together.”
The ferric giants, who are based in Switzerland, are
currently in training for October’s Ironman World
Championships in Hawaii, followed by Ironman
Florida, which Bella has won a whopping fi ve times
in the past seven years.
Few can hope to compete at their elite level, but
even with a 17-hour time limit, Ironman claims to
have a place for the “casual” competitor. The Ironman
Lanzarote entrants this year included 71-year-old
fi tness instructor Richard Lake.
“I think anyone can take up the challenge. If you
want something badly enough, it is amazing what you
can make yourself do. It is very healthy and fun to have
a challenge to aim at, but if you want to do something
well, you must have discipline, determination and
patience,” Bella believes.
“It isn’t necessary to challenge yourself with an
Ironman straight away. There are shorter distance
triathlons, or running races – maybe climbing
a mountain would suit others more.”
The presence of the renowned Club La Santa on the
island – the race headquarters – means there are plenty
of coaches who can help with programmes for those
who decide to combine a holiday with fi tness. But if
you opt to give Ironman a try, be warned: the weekly
training schedule reads like a torturer’s manual.
A typical week will include more than 5km of swimming,
160km of biking and 30km of running. Anyone
for a drink by the pool instead?

ROMANTIC PLACES TO
LUNCH, HURRY BACK FOR
A FULL-BODY MOUNTAIN
MASSAGE
SNOW SPA LOVERS
DEFINITION: You typically ski with your other half and
like nothing better than pootling around the slopes
seeking romantic places to lunch, before hurrying back
for a wool bath and full-body mountain massage.
RESORT OF CHOICE: COURMAYEUR, ITALY
Courmayeur is one of the few resorts where there
are more mountain restaurants than lifts. It’s perfectly
acceptable to stop at least twice for hot chocolate
in the morning, and spend at least an hour sunning
yourselves in the deckchairs liberally spread around
the mountain. Indeed, it is frowned upon to
do anything else. With epic views of Mont Blanc,
superb food and quiet, tree-lined slopes, it’s an ideal
couple’s destination. It also has some of the best
off-piste action in the Alps.
TOP TRIBE TIP: Don’t miss the historic and recently
refurbished Pré St Didier spa (www.termedipre.it), one
of the most beautiful in the mountains.
GETTING THERE: Geneva, 1.5 hours, or Chambéry, 2 hours

PARK RATS
DEFINITION: You know the difference between a fl atspin
1,080 and a kangaroo flip; in fact, you could
probably pull one off yourself. You are a park rat and you
like your jumps ridiculously large.
RESORT OF CHOICE: MAYRHOFEN, AUSTRIA
The “Hof ”, as it is affectionately known, has become
something of a favourite with the freestyle kids
because Penken Park is one of the best snow parks in
Europe. Sponsored by Vans shoes, it’s well graded,
with beginner and intermediate features before you
get to the monster tabletops. This being Austria, there
is also a lively party scene, especially in April when
the Snowbombing festival rolls into town.
TOP TRIBE TIP: Keep your eyes peeled for Woodsy,
aka James Woods, the UK’s top freestyle skier, who now
calls Mayrhofen his winter home.

DEFINITION: Your ideal family holiday is not sitting
on the beach with a bucket and spade, instead you want
to get out there in the great outdoors and hit those
mountains hard.
RESORT OF CHOICE: ZELL AM SEE, AUSTRIA
Perennially popular with families of all ages, Zell am
See is a very pretty lakeside town with great local
skiing and lots of non-skiing activities, including
a children’s adventure park on the mountain. You can
take a sleigh ride around the frozen lake or, if the kids
still aren’t tired at the end of the day, check out the
excellent sports hall.
TOP TRIBE TIP: If you’ve got young kids, stay near the
base of the Schüttdorf gondola, which has direct access
to the ski kindergarten.

CONFESSIONS
OF A SNOW
ADDICT
MY BEST EVER SKI
Francesca Eyre talks us
through an idyllic day in the
Portes du Soleil…
“It was a bluebird day,
a crisp and clear January
morning two days after
a fresh snowfall. It was
my friend’s birthday and
we had planned a special
trip: skiing the entire
Portes du Soleil circuit
in one day – that’s 65km,
nine ski resorts and two
countries – before fi nishing
with a helicopter
ride back to Morzine.
Fortunately our chalet
was right by the chairlift
in the Les Prodains area
of Morzine and, this
being January, there was
no queue. We took two
lifts to the highest part
of the Portes du Soleil
and warmed up our legs
with some fast, carving
turns on a selection of
perfectly groomed blues
and reds from Avoriaz
to Chatel.
From Chatel we then
headed up to Mosette,
with its panoramic views
stretching to Mont Blanc
one way and the Swiss
Alps the other. From
here, it was time for the
first powder of the
morning, so we dropped
off the side of a testing
black run down towards
Abondance. The snow
was amazingly light but
we couldn’t linger long
because we still had
three more areas to ski
before stopping for lunch
in Switzerland – Torgon,
with its views of Lake
Geneva, Super-Châtel
and Morgins. We tucked
into a traditional Swiss
croûte (baked bread with
cheese and ham), washed
down with a crisp Swiss
white on a sunny terrace
overlooking the famous
Dents du Midi.
After lunch, it was
time to ratchet up the
pressure a little and so
we blasted up and down
through Morgins,
Champoussin, Les
Crosets and Champéry,
before heading back
towards Avoriaz and
back into France. Then
came the last lift of the
day up to the Col du
Fornet, from where we
could complete the circuit
with one of the most
famous off-piste descents
in Portes du Soleil: the
Vallée de la Manche.
Spotting an untouched
west-facing wall of powder,
we traversed a short
climb before floating
like freefallers down
1,000m of vertical. It
was an epic run, made
even better by the sight
of the helicopter appearing
across the lake out of
the late afternoon sun.”

FANCY STARLIT NIGHTS IN REMOTE GREEK VILLAGES AND DAYS SPLASHING THROUGH PRISTINE
SEASCAPES? GRAB YOUR WATERWINGS AND JOIN US FOR A KAYAK TRIP AROUND CRETE
I’m standing on a slice of paradise – sun burns
down out of a blue sky, the sandy beach beneath my
feet stretches to crystal-clear sea, but I hardly notice a
thing. Along with our fi ve-strong group of kayak neophytes,
I’m listening nervously as instructor Russ
explains that we’re going to capsize our lightweight
Rainbow Lasers, then unsnap the spray skirt holding
us in and eject from the submerged cockpit in a forward-rolling
somersault. “I didn’t come here to become
James Bond,” quips ginger-bearded Chris.
“Doing this is the major fear of most novices – once
you get this over with, you can settle down and enjoy
the trip,” Russ says reassuringly.

Popping out of the bath-warm Libyan sea beside my
turned-turtle kayak a few minutes later, I’m wondering
what all the fuss was about. The sky seems a few shades
bluer, the sea looks gorgeous and I’m raring to spend
the next seven days kayaking along the rocky southwest
coastline of Crete.
The coastal resort of Paleochora, dominated by its
Venetian fortress, recedes in an early mist as we paddle
out in single fi le behind Russ. “Keep together; don’t use
your paddle like a coffee spoon; keep your body centred
and bend from the waist; think of your kayak as a mermaid’s
tail – let it become an extension of your body,”
Russ chivvies over the lapping whack of the waves.

The sea is so clear I can see starfi sh tiptoeing along the bottom

As the slowest paddler I’m promoted to pack leader.
“This way no one gets left behind and there’s no competitive
behaviour,” Russ explains. My strokes are
awkward at fi rst and I’m constantly soaked to the skin,
baked in the hot sun, then soaked again, but by mid
morning I’m getting into my stride over a sea so clear
I can see starfi sh tiptoeing along the bottom.
Around midday we beach at Elafonissi, a Bountyisland
islet with a shallow lagoon and pink sand, where
we spend the afternoon snorkelling and sunbathing.
At sunset we beach at Kedrodasos, an hour’s paddle
away. We pitch tents in a deserted cove fringed with
astringent-smelling eucalyptus trees and cook our fi rst
castaway dinner: tinned tuna mixed with pasta boiled
in water from one of the kayak’s 10-litre emergency
bladders. Tongues loosened by fi relight, a few slugs of
60% proof raki and a wall-to-wall deco of stars, we
compare our reasons for taking this trip.
Laure, 22, from Lyon, confi des that she’s just split
up with her partner and needs a challenge. Chris, 30,
from Manchester says he’s an adrenalin junkie and
needs his fi x. Jim and Andrea, both in their mid forties
and from Liverpool, reveal they needed a sea change
from their hectic lives running a hotel. As for Russ,
our bleach-blond kayak instructor from Colorado, he
set up his company, Nature Maniacs, to escape the ski
slopes. “After years of teaching ski my feet were a mess
– I don’t have that problem with kayaking.”
I’m roused the next day by what I assume is someone
throwing sand at the tent, but when I stagger outside
I see the wind has whipped up and the waves out at sea
are capped with white. Despite the blazing sun, Russ
tells us to pull out our waterproof paddling cagoules.
“Sounds ominous,” Andrea says nervously.
A few strokes out and we’re battling through huge
swells and wind gusts, called microbursts, that threaten
to capsize us. The waves are barely more than a metre
high but they seem huge from sea level. I remember
the Minoan civilisation that fl ourished along this coastline
was wiped out in 1450BC by a 20m-high tsunami
wave provoked by the eruption of Santorini, a volcanic
archipelago some 100km north of Crete.
Luckily the sea calms within an hour and we can
relax and enjoy our trip from Paleohora to Sougia. Cut

We paddle in awed silence, serenaded by the
lapping water and the hum of cicadas
roads, and its glittering coves and sandy beaches are
deserted. “It’s like they’ve been nuked,” Chris jokes.
We paddle in awed silence, serenaded by the lapping
water, the bells of mountain goats and the hum of
cicadas, until we reach Asklipios. After exploring the
ruins of a temple where Greeks once fl ocked to be
cured of their ills in the miraculous springs, we hike
further up into the valley, and discover a Roman
cemetery with tombs that look like tiny houses.
Over the next few days we slip into a comfortable
rhythm: early launch, stunning scenic paddle, midmorning
pause for a pick-me-up of bitter black coffee,
called ellinikos, stops-offs to visit booming sea caves and
atmospheric ancient sites. Best of all are the lunchtime
tavernas serving meze snacks of salty olives, yemista
tomatoes stuffed with spicy rice, crumbling slabs of
feta, and Sfakian pie – fi lo pastry oozing with salty
mithizra cheese and drizzled with honey.
After these long lunches we wend our lazy way
towards the next night’s stopover, alternating between
proper beds and good food in popular resorts, and
improvised barbecues on deserted beaches.
On the penultimate day we squeeze into a minivan
that rollercoasters us up into the mountains that have
glared down at us for the past six days to hike the 16km
Samaria gorge. Legs feeling strangely wobbly, we
skitter from Omalos (1,250m above sea level) to the
black sandy beach of Agia Roumeli down below.
Paddling from Agia Roumeli to Loutro on the last
leg of our trip we’re all sad to end our odyssey. At
Marmara beach Chris gets a fi nal adrenalin fi x diving
off the sheer cliffs, while we scoff crisp rusks soaked
in olive oil and sprinkled with crushed tomato and
crumbled feta, called dakos. Russ asks if we enjoyed the
trip and Andrea sums it up: “Well, I’ve got blistered
palms and pains in places I never knew existed, and I’ll
be glad to use my legs again, but I’m really going to
miss having a mermaid’s tail.” Indeed.

HOW TO
SUN
Sunbathing in the nuddy is easy. Locate the sun
(it’s that ball of fi re over your head about 1,300,000
times bigger than the Earth in volume), stand
underneath it (usually in the hours of daylight), get
all your kit off, and loll about for a few hours. And
it’s something we all should aspire to; after all, there
is nothing more liberating, healthy and cosmopolitan
than outwardly proclaiming: “Yes, here I am,
unfettered and unashamed, with my perfectly
unblemished, evenly tanned temple of a body on
display to the entire world. Now go away and fetch
me a 99, as I’m trying to fi nish me Dan Brown and

Unfortunately, if you’re not living in the one of the
time periods comfortably grouped under the BC
umbrella, or are over the age of four, naked sunbathing
might prove diffi cult. Particularly if you choose to
do it in the town square. Or on a school fi eld. During
a sports day. However, it is possible to attain brownish
bits without tears, and – ahem – all will be revealed
later. But fi rst a history lesson or two…
The history of tanning
Apart from a few areas of the globe, we’re all pretty
much in agreement that exposure to the ultraviolet
rays which emanate from the sun – in moderation – is
a Good Thing. Let’s put aside the health benefi ts for
a moment, and instead focus our gaze upon the cover
of the nearest newspaper. Note that the successful,
attractive, red carpet-strutting types are tanned. If you
see a pale person, there’s an 80% chance it’s a rat-faced,
sink-estate ne’er-do-well or a goth on a killing spree
at their school. Or Nicola from Girls Aloud.
It wasn’t always this way. Putting aside racism (and
if only we could in what is laughingly described as
“the 21st century” – ooh, bit of politics there), the
prevalent notion in the West for centuries was that
pastiness was the number one signifi er of privilege.
Easy to see why, really: if your melanin was being
oxidised, resulting in more melanin being produced
and turning your skin a darker hue, it was probably
because you were out toiling in the fields like
a worthless troll for a groat or two. This wasn’t
exclusively a European or medieval thing, either – it’s
where the term “redneck” comes from.
Once, if your skin was tanned, it was probably because
you were out toiling in the fi elds like a worthless troll
If you were pale as alabaster on the other hand, it
probably meant you were too busy poncing about at
assorted banquets or lobbed out in an opium den to
go outside. The lengths the upper classes went to in
order to stay as white as possible were extraordinary:
women would plaster themselves in the Elizabethan
equivalent of Tipp-Ex to keep themselves pale.
Unfortunately, seeing as these cosmetics were all leadbased,
they went on to keep themselves even paler by
becoming young corpses. Even when the idea of the
holiday resort came into vogue with the toffs, tanning
was strictly off the agenda – you went to places such
as Bath to plunge yourself into spas, and if you ever
went on a beach you made sure you sported your
stripiest and most body-enveloping cozzie.
It wasn’t until the end of the 19th century that the
idea of skin tone signifying class status started to waver.
The Industrial Revolution was the great leveller
because when hundreds of thousands of plebs moved
HOW TO…
from the fi elds to spend their days in factories, and
Victorian values frowned upon the exposure of a mere
ankle, everyone became very pasty very quickly.
Obviously, this wouldn’t do at all for your healthconscious
bod, so when a scientist from the Faroe
Islands called Niels Finsen published a paper on the
benefi ts of UV exposure as a source of vitamin D and
a treatment for rickets, the tables started to turn.
The 1920s saw the true birth of tanning as a chic
leisure option, and it started – where else? – in Paris.
According to legend, Coco Chanel accidentally stayed
out in the sun too long during her hols and came back
a bit sunburnt. On her return, all manner of followfashion
femmes seized upon her new look and ran with
it, augmented by the rise of black American foxtress

HOW TO…
Nudist camp documentaries offered a window on a

Josephine Baker. In an instant, the pendulum swung.
Having a tan said: “I can afford to loll about in the
sun.” By the 1940s, tanning was championed by
women’s magazines. And thanks to thousands of
working-class lads getting posted to Africa, the Med
and Asia to do battle, the men got a look-in as well.
When they weren’t getting shot at.
Three major developments to the cause of brown
bits kicked in after World War II. The fi rst was the
introduction of the package holiday in the early 1950s,
appealing directly to the burgeoning class of skilled
labourers (tanning’s new implication being: “I can
afford to go somewhere better than Skegness”). The
second was the introduction of proper sunscreen,
instead of baby oil or nothing at all. But what about
the third development – y’know, the one that you’re
actually reading this article for?
The history of naked sunbathing
Now then. If we’re being smart-arsed, we could trace
this all the way back to Adam and Eve, but let’s cut
to the chase. The first nudist beaches, you’ll be
unsurprised to hear, were set up along the French
78JetAway
Riviera in the 1950s. These havens of exposure
quickly embedded themselves as a symbol of
fl ourishing continental liberalness and as a stable for
every UK sitcom (and every other Carry On fi lm) for
the next 20 years. Documentaries set in a nudist
camps fl ourished, allowing viewers to have their cake
and eat it, by offering a window on a liberated paradise
and a peek at some unfettered knocker (usually
accompanied by a neck-slapping “Phwoar!”). Harold
Steptoe, that very encapsulation of Sixties optimism,
summed up the age of working-class upward mobility
best when he told his father; “I’m not going to
Bognor, mate. I want some brown rumpo.”
Obviously, if anyone actually ventured onto nudist
beaches for said rumpo, their balloon was punctured
rapidly. For one, they were more likely to chance upon
elderly German couples than Swedish air stewardesses,
and for two, they would quickly fall afoul of a veritable
obstacle course of rules, laws and social etiquette that
were rigorously enforced: no sexual activity, no
invasion of privacy, no staring, and the fact that you
were expected to get your kit off too.
How To
Sunbathe
Naked
1 Go fully prepared. In
other words, pre-tan your
bits, either by exposing
them in a proper, licensed
tanning salon (which have
increased fi ve-fold over
the past decade), or by
taking them in for a spray
job (which, thanks to the
very present dangers of
skin cancer, isn’t the sole
preserve of the permatanned
lounge lizard of
yore anymore).
2 Go somewhere that
gives you a sporting
chance of actually getting
a tan. Virtually all beaches
in Denmark and Norway
are “clothing optional”,
for example, making
them the most nudeyfriendly
countries in the
world, but you wouldn’t
necessarily want to be
starkers while being that
close to the Arctic Circle.
Try Aguas Blancas in
Ibiza (see our Ibiza afterparty
story on p.42) or
Calblanque in Sardinia.
3 Don’t attempt to get
a completely even tan –
and you know what we’re
talking about here.
Certain bits are usually
darker than the rest of you
for a reason, and trying to
match everything up will
do your head in.
4 If you do insist on
basting your bits, your
normal level of sun
protection won’t suffi ce,
as they’re far more
sensitive than the rest of
the body.
Experts
advise that
you should
increase your
SPF by 10 as a
rule of, er, thumb.

to the chase. The first nudist beaches, you’ll be
unsurprised to hear, were set up along the French
78JetAway
Riviera in the 1950s. These havens of exposure
quickly embedded themselves as a symbol of
fl ourishing continental liberalness and as a stable for
every UK sitcom (and every other Carry On fi lm) for
the next 20 years. Documentaries set in a nudist
camps fl ourished, allowing viewers to have their cake
and eat it, by offering a window on a liberated paradise
and a peek at some unfettered knocker (usually
accompanied by a neck-slapping “Phwoar!”). Harold
Steptoe, that very encapsulation of Sixties optimism,
summed up the age of working-class upward mobility
best when he told his father; “I’m not going to
Bognor, mate. I want some brown rumpo.”
Obviously, if anyone actually ventured onto nudist
beaches for said rumpo, their balloon was punctured
rapidly. For one, they were more likely to chance upon
elderly German couples than Swedish air stewardesses,
and for two, they would quickly fall afoul of a veritable
obstacle course of rules, laws and social etiquette that
were rigorously enforced: no sexual activity, no
invasion of privacy, no staring, and the fact that you
were expected to get your kit off too.
How To
Sunbathe
Naked
1 Go fully prepared. In
other words, pre-tan your
bits, either by exposing
them in a proper, licensed
tanning salon (which have
increased fi ve-fold over
the past decade), or by
taking them in for a spray
job (which, thanks to the
very present dangers of
skin cancer, isn’t the sole
preserve of the permatanned
lounge lizard of
yore anymore).
2 Go somewhere that
gives you a sporting
chance of actually getting
a tan. Virtually all beaches
in Denmark and Norway
are “clothing optional”,
for example, making
them the most nudeyfriendly
countries in the
world, but you wouldn’t
necessarily want to be
starkers while being that
close to the Arctic Circle.
Try Aguas Blancas in
Ibiza (see our Ibiza afterparty
story on p.42) or
Calblanque in Sardinia.
3 Don’t attempt to get
a completely even tan –
and you know what we’re
talking about here.
Certain bits are usually
darker than the rest of you
for a reason, and trying to
match everything up will
do your head in.
4 If you do insist on
basting your bits, your
normal level of sun
protection won’t suffi ce,
as they’re far more
sensitive than the rest of
the body.
Experts
advise that
you should
increase your
SPF by 10 as a
rule of, er, thumb.

To Achieve The Dream

JetAway gets the stats on
business’s Most Wanted…
John Ryan
Biography
Any businesses seeking an
about-face in their fortunes
would do well to take notes
from turnaround tycoon
John Ryan. The cosmetic
surgery tsar, who’s
overseen 100,000 or so
“procedures” in his 25-plus
years in the biz, is clearly
practising what he preaches.
While his Make Yourself
Amazing (MYA) brand
produces impressive
fi gures, both euphemistically
and fi nancially, he’s found
time to make his own
boyhood dreams come true
by rebuilding his beloved
Doncaster Rovers from the
ground up – almost literally.
In 1958, Ryan was a young
scamp watching sadly from
the stands as his team was
relegated. “We went down
that year,” he rues, “and
never came back.” When he
bought “Donny” in 2002,
having sold his cosmetic
concerns for more than
£20m, the once-proud
Vikings were a dispirited
team playing in borrowed
clothes (from Sheffi eld
United) in a near-derelict
stadium (the ironically titled
Belle Vue). “We were as low
as any club could be,” Ryan
remembers. Suffi ce to say,
major surgery was required.
Half a century after
relegation, the Rovers
are entertaining new fans
from a new stadium in
a new league thanks to
their new owner’s scalpelsharp
supervision.
Name: John Ryan
Age: 59
Based: Cheshire, Cape
Town, Dubai and Majorca
Job Title: Chairman of MYA
and Doncaster Rovers
Nickname: The nip-tuck king
Investments: Sold cosmetic
surgery company
Transform in 2002.
Invested £6m of his own
money in Doncaster
Rovers. Started MYA in
2007, and has reported
a 25% increase in enquiries
this year.
Estimated Worth: £30m
League Position: 64th richest
man in British football
Don’t Mix Business And Pleasure:
Ryan’s satisfi ed surgical
customers include Melinda
Messenger and Imogen
from Big Brother; his
friends included late ladies’
man George Best…
And Another Thing: Ryan
nabbed a Guinness World
Record for being the oldest
professional football player
in Europe when he joined
Doncaster Rovers on
the pitch for one minute,
aged 52.

NOSY NEIGHBOURS
According to a survey that’s
been carried out by housing
website www.propertylive.
co.uk, one in five people
view properties just to see
how their neighbours live.
A whopping 20% of the
people surveyed admitted
that the only reason they
chose to view a property
was sheer nosiness and that
they actually had no real
intention of buying.
More intriguingly, 7% of
people surveyed said they
attended house viewings in
order to get design inspiration
for their own home,
while 12% confessed that
when they saw a “For Sale”
sign go up in a neighbour’s
garden the temptation to
have a poke around the
property was simply too
great to resist!

WHAT’S IN A NAME?
The region of Provence-
Alpes-Côte d’Azur (PACA) is
known to many for the
coastal strip of the Côte
d’Azur – a destination that’s
popular with second home
buyers. However, it seems
that the people of the region
are being consulted about
a change of name because
they are fed up with being
referred to as an acronym.
The president of PACA,
Michel Vauzelle, is keen to
call it simply “Provence”,
because Provence-Alpes-
Côte d’Azur is a mouthful –
even for the locals.
However, some problems
are arising due to the
geographical diversity of
the region, which covers six
different departments who
feel they have very little in
common with each other.
While many suggestions
have been offered, one of
the more obscure is unlikely
to catch on – I mean, you
wouldn’t want to live in
Prozac would you?

a culture shock. Thanks to local girl Siobhan Mangan, 22, she soon felt at home
ABOVE: THE VICTORIAN QUARTER
SHOPPING CENTRE, LEEDS, IS JUST
ONE OF THE CITY’S MANY DRAWS
SARA
THE NEW GIRL
What do you do
for a living?
I’m a Spanish
language
assistant working at Leeds
Metropolitan University.
How long have you been here?
Since October 2007.
Can you tell us what you love
most about Leeds?
The cultural diversity.
So it was a bit of a culture shock?
Yes! I was 18 years old and
I could not understand why
people were so cold and
unfriendly. I was also
wondering why people
were shopping all the time
and drinking beer at 11am
on the weekends.
What were your fi rst
impressions of the city?
I saw Leeds as a cold, ugly
and small town. Now, I love
walking everywhere and
fi nding new places. Here
you can try different
international foods,
whereas in Spain it is
expensive to go to
international restaurants.
Favourite hang-outs?
Roundhay Park offers
some peace and quiet. I
also enjoy shopping in the
Victorian Quarter centre
where you’ll fi nd all the
best designer brands.
Sum up your life in Leeds for us
Obviously there are
negative sides – being

family, and the weather is
very cold! Being close to
Leeds Bradford airport
gives me the chance to
visit other countries and
the fl ights are well priced.
It’s good to go out on
Sunday and fi nd everything
open. In Spain everything
closes on Sundays; here
you can enjoy a roast!
SIOBHAN
THE LOCAL
What do you do?
I am a language
student
at Leeds
Metropolitan University.
Where do you live?
I live in east Leeds, an
area that most people
don’t know. Tourists
mainly stick to the city
centre, but as a local
I know there are many
attractions on the
outskirts of the city –
there’s a beautiful park
and mansion called
Temple Newsam, for
example.
Where do you like to hang out?
My favourite spots are in
the centre of Leeds. I love
Debenhams, Harvey
Nichols and clothing
boutiques such as
Ark on the Headrow.
What would you miss about
Leeds if you had to move?
If I had to move away from
Leeds I would defi nitely
miss nightclubs like
Oceana. I love the fact that
there is always something
to do, whether it’s a live
band at Leeds
Metropolitan Student
Union bar, a show at the
Grand Theatre (the last
one I saw there was Jimmy
Carr) or simply a trip to
the cinema – there’s always
something different to keep
you entertained!

Egypt made easy
with the local lowdown

With the Sinai desert right on its doorstep, the
invigorating tension between tradition and
tourism, and scores of stunning snorkelling
sites within its crystal-clear waters, the Red
Sea Riviera makes a fi rst-rate second home.
YOUR NEW ADDRESS
Sinai Golf Heights
Only 25 minutes from
Na’ama Bay, this resort
is located on a 1.3m sq m
plot with sea and mountain
views. The main draw is
the professional 18-hole
golf course surrounding
the property, but it’s only
a 1km walk to the City Stars
YOUR CONTACTS
BANKS
The banks here are open
from 9am-1pm, then they
reopen from 6pm-9pm.
Generally you’ll find their
exchange rates more
favourable than those
in your hotel. HSBC has
a branch in Na’ama Bay and
there are plenty of money
exchanges and ATMs scattered
throughout the resort,
all of which accept Visa and
MasterCard. You can also
use sterling in some places.
BEACHES
With long swathes of sandy
white beaches, including the
16km stretch that runs
between Sharm el Sheikh
shopping mall. There’s
a wide range of living
options, from one- and
two-bedroom apartments
through to stand-alone
villas with their own pools.
Prices start from £25,000
for a studio. Uncover
Egypt. Tel: 0800 980 2316,
www.sinaigolfheights.com
and Ras Nusrani, this is the
perfect location for a beach
holiday. The best ones are
found in the tourist hub of
Na’ama Bay, the only place
where swimmers can walk
straight from the beach into
the sea.
CULTURE
Away from the beaches
there are plenty of cultural
attractions, including the old
town of Sharm el Maya and
Bedouin tours in the des-
sert. Go to www.isango.com
for ideas. It is also possible
to arrange day trips to Cairo
and the striking Coloured
Canyon. Visit www.sharmel-sheikh.com
for details of
local tour companies.
DIVING
Sharm el Sheikh is known as
the Red Sea Riviera and
boasts some of the finest
dive sites in the world as
well as some great snorkelling
for the less experienced
around the shoreline coral
reefs. The sea is crystal
clear and calm all year
round, with 250 reefs and
around 1,000 species of fi sh
inhabiting the local waters.
Nearly all the hotels in the
resort have instructors and
courses on offer, and night
dives are available. Ras
Mohammed National Park
and the Strait of Tiran boast
the best diving in the area
and there are plenty of
holidays to choose from.
Visit www.diving-world.com
for more details.
GOLF
Sharm el Sheikh has an
18-hole championship golf
course, which is 7km from
Na’ama Bay. Jolie Ville Golf
& Resort (www.jolievillehotels.com)
has a driving
range and par-three course
for practice, and the main
course runs for 6,021m with
18 lakes. There are also
weekly golf tournaments
and golf schools held here.
HOSPITALS
Nearly all of the resort’s
hotels have a doctor and
there are also plenty of
pharmacists around who
would be your fi rst port of
call in case of minor injury.
The main hospital is the
Sharm el Sheikh International
Hospital, which is located on
the El Nour District Road
(tel: +20 069 366 0893).
However, for serious complaints
you will fi nd yourself
transferred to Cairo.
NIGHTLIFE
Once the sun goes down
you’ll discover an array of
late-night shops, cafes, bars
and restaurants to choose
from – most are located
along the road which runs
parallel to the beach. With
Vegas-style entertainment
that includes floorshows,
live music, a choice of six
casinos, two waterparks,
go-karting and a couple of
ice-skating rinks, the heart
of the action is in Na’ama
Bay. Popular venues include
Camel Bar (tel: +20 69 360
0700), Pirates’ Bar (tel: +20
69 360 0137) and Little
Buddha (tel: +20 69 360
1030). For hardcore clubbing
try the world-renowned
HIGH FLYERS
AUGUST – SEPTEMBER 2009
Pacha (www.pachasharm.
com). Among the neon signs
you can enjoy a fl avour of
traditional Egypt thanks to
a number of Bedouin-style
cafes with authentic rugs,
cushions and shisha pipes.
RESTAURANTS
Most of the hotels offer
a blend of Egyptian and
Western-style food and
a water-side grill where you
can sample some of the
freshly caught fish of the
day. Down in Na’ama Bay
you’ll also fi nd an array of
Italian, Chinese, Lebanese
and Egyptian restaurants,
while Little Buddha offers
some fantastic Japanese
food. For an authentic cheap
eat, head for the Old Market,
where you can taste some
delicious local produce – try
Safsafa Restaurant (tel: +20
069 366 0474) or Sinai Star
(tel: +20 069 366 0323) for
some superior seafood.
Fast-food junkies will be
pleased to note that the
ubiquitous McDonald’s and
KFC have a presence here.
SCHOOLS
There are two international
schools in Sharm el Sheikh:
El Gouna International
School (www.elgounaschool.
com), which takes children
aged between 3 and 18, and
St Joseph’s International
School (www.sjissharm.

Pilot Peaks
Blackpool-based Jet2.com captain
Paul James set off on the trip of
a lifetime in April to conquer Mount
Everest in aid of Cancer Research
UK. Everyone at the friendly low-fare
airline was monitoring his progress,
and we were delighted when Paul
reached the summit and smashed
his fundraising target.
He was aiming to raise £1 for
every one of Everest’s 8,848m, but
instead raised even more – £10,665
(to date) – for this fantastic cause.
Congratulations to Paul, and if you
would like to read about his progress

SAFETY ON-BOARD
RESPONSIBLE FLYING WITH JET2.COM
Safety & Comfort
Most of the following guidelines are mandatory under
Civil Aviation Authority Regulations to make your fl ight
safe, comfortable and enjoyable
96JetAway
SAFETY ON-BOARD
It is important that prior to take-off you read the Safety Card,
which is in the seat pocket in front of you. Our Crews are
specially trained in the safety and security of all passengers and
it is an offence to refuse to obey any lawful command of the
Captain and Crew, which includes the illumination of passenger
signs. Anyone breaking these laws could be refused carriage
outward or return by ourselves or any other UK airline, and is
liable to be subsequently prosecuted under the Air Navigation
Act. Our Crew’s primary concern is YOUR safety at all times.
MOBILE PHONES
Mobile phones cannot be used whilst walking to/from the
aircraft. For safety reasons, the use of mobile phones or
any other wireless communication devices is restricted
onboard. Furthermore, mobiles must not be used for Internet
access, text messaging or voice calls while onboard. Please
ask a member of the crew for further information.
SEATBELTS
During take-off and landing seatbelts must be fastened, and
seats and tables secured in the upright position. You are
advised to keep your seatbelt loosely fastened throughout
the fl ight and at any time when requested by the Captain or
Crew. Infants travelling on a passenger’s lap will require a child
safety-belt, which our Cabin Crew will be happy to fi t for you.
SMOKING
Smoking is NOT PERMITTED on any of our fl ights and for
the safety of all our passengers the toilet compartments
are fi tted with highly sensitive smoke detectors. Violation of
this law may lead to prosecution and a substantial fi ne.
ALCOHOL
Please bear in mind that high altitude increases the physical
effects of alcohol, so moderate consumption is recommended.
It is illegal to be intoxicated on-board an aircraft. The consumption
of any alcoholic beverage other than those supplied from the
in-fl ight bar is not permitted and the Crew are authorised to
remove alcohol from passengers drinking from their own supplies.
PASSENGER BEHAVIOUR
Jet2.com expect our passengers to behave in a responsible
manner and we will not tolerate unacceptable behaviour. This
includes foul language and any other behaviour that reduces other
passengers’ enjoyment of the fl ight and causes them, or our staff,
any degree of distress, discomfort or unnecessary inconvenience.
We reserve the right to ban passengers from future fl ights if their
behaviour is a threat to the safety of our passengers and Crew.
HAND LUGGAGE
One small piece of hand luggage is allowed per person, providing
its weight is less than 10kg and it is no larger than 50cm x 38cm x
26cm including wheels and handles. Any piece of baggage that does
not meet these requirements will be placed in the hold and the
relevant fee will be charged. Any other excess hand luggage will
be placed in the hold. Light or soft articles should be stowed in the
overhead luggage compartments, heavier items under seats. Items
lying loose on empty seats or obstructing the aisles or emergency
exits are dangerous and you will be asked to remove them.
ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
Once the aircraft is at cruising altitude and the Captain has
turned off the “Fasten Seat Belt” sign, you are free to use
laptops, CD players, MP3 players, computer games and most
other electronic items. The use of electronic equipment of
any kind is not permitted during taxi, take-off and landing.
COMFORT
Changes in the cabin air pressure may cause some slight
discomfort in your ears. You can relieve this by swallowing
hard, yawning or holding your nose while gently breathing
out with your mouth closed. Flying also causes your body to
dehydrate so you are advised to have something to drink that is
not alcoholic. For your further comfort, please also refer to the
recommended exercises on the opposite page of this magazine.
IN-FLIGHT SERVICE
On your fl ight we will be offering you a comprehensive choice
of hot and cold drinks as well as a selection of delicious snacks,
including sandwiches and confectionery. Full details of our
on-board products can be found at the back of this magazine.
Our Cabin Crew will be delighted to offer you a chance to
purchase items from our fantastic range of tax-paid goods
from our SkyShop, including fragrances, cosmetics, toys and
gifts at low prices – take advantage of our great savings against
high-street prices. We kindly ask all passengers to help keep the
aircraft tidy by not placing rubbish into the seat pockets or on
the fl oor. Our Cabin Crew will be collecting rubbish throughout
the fl ight, so please help them to keep the aircraft tidy.

Stretch On-Board
Short fl ights to continental European destinations are less likely
to lead to a risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) than long-haul
fl ights. Nevertheless, it’s good to stretch out. It’s not easy to
walk around on-board, so for your own comfort and relaxation,
why not try some of these seated exercises?
KNEE RAISE
With hands clasped
together, pull your left knee
up as close as possible to
your chest and hold for a
FEET
count of eight, then return
to a sitting position. Relax.
Do the same with your right
knee. Then with both knees.
A] Flex your foot at the ankle and
stretch out as far as you can.
Bend your toes forward and
back. Slowly rotate your foot
using a circular motion clockwise,
then counter-clockwise. Relax.
Repeat with the right foot.
B] With your feet on the tips of

Remember that extreme
dehydration can increase the
risk of DVT, so drink plenty of
water and minimise your alcohol, tea and
coffee consumption during the fl ight.
Repeat four times. Relax.
Bend forward and gently
massage both calf muscles.
your toes, raise and lower your
legs. Relax.
Repeat six times.
C] Clench and unclench your
toes.
Relax. Repeat several times.
D] Stretch your toes. Relax.
Repeat several times.
THREE GOOD THINGS TO BEAR IN MIND ON YOUR TRAVEL
2
You will arrive at your destination
feeling much better if you sit
correctly, with your weight
balanced evenly on both buttocks and
without crossing your legs.
SAFETY ON-BOARD
RESPONSIBLE FLYING WITH JET2.COM
ANKLE ROTATION
With your feet slightly raised off
the fl oor, rotate your ankles 10
times towards each other and
then 10 times away from each
other.
SHOULDER LOOSENER
Hunch your shoulders together,
drop, repeat. Rotate your shoulders
one at a time with a gentle
circular motion, fi rst forwards,
then backwards.
HEAD AND SHOULDERS
Sitting well back in your seat,
in a comfortable position with
your back and shoulders well
supported, turn your head to the
right as far as you can, then slowly
raise and lower your chin three
times. Relax. Repeat, turning your
head to the left this time. Repeat.
SHOULDER STRETCH
Grasp your left shoulder with
your right hand, then place your
left hand behind your right elbow.
Gently press your elbow toward
your shoulder. Hold the stretch
for 15 seconds and repeat on the
other side.
3
Try deep-breathing exercises to relax. Sit back in
your seat in a comfortable position, close your
eyes and take a deep breath. Hold it for a
while, then exhale and say the word ‘relax’. Repeat four
or fi ve times.
