Back to this issue - our 10 of The Best Charity Challenges, are sure to inspire.

<strong>British</strong><strong>Travel</strong><strong>Journal</strong><br />
ECO-FRIENDLY TOURISM is at the<br />
top of our <strong>2020</strong> travel agenda.<br />
We have introduced a new<br />
Sustainable <strong>Travel</strong> series, kicking<br />
off this issue with ideas for Environmental<br />
Volunteering, p22, and, in an eco-conscious<br />
quest of our own, we have discovered a<br />
supplier of recyclable paper wraps for sending<br />
our magazines in the mail. Next issue we<br />
will be featuring the UK’s finest eco-friendly<br />
holiday homes so, if you know of any hidden<br />
gems you are happy to share, please email<br />
words@britishtraveljournal.com. Touched to hear about two Longleat koala<br />
keepers, Graeme Dick and James Dennis, who, following the devastating<br />
Australian bushfires, travelled to South Australia's Cleland Wildlife Park,<br />
to help to save the lives of koalas, wombats, echidnas and a host of other<br />
unique Australian wildlife - we have the pleasure of featuring the Wiltshire<br />
attraction in our new seasonal ‘Hot List’, p81-87.<br />
For those with the confidence to go one step further, our 10 of The Best<br />
Charity Challenges, p38-41 are sure to inspire. From cycling across Britain to<br />
skydiving from 15,000 feet, you can raise some vital charity donations while<br />
pushing yourself to your limits. The World Pilot Gig Championships is a seaside<br />
spectacle like no other on The Isles of Scilly this May, p70-73 - and we go<br />
Behind-the-Scenes ahead of The Cheltenham Festival, this March, p60-63.<br />
Other destinations we uncover this season include the beautiful Lake<br />
District, p74-79, spending a wonderful 48 Hours in St Mawes and the Roseland,<br />
p64-69, an adventure packed weekend on The Isle of Man, p26-31, and,<br />
arguably with the best views in London, our In the Capital series this season<br />
takes us to discover the highlights of leafy Greenwich, p32-37.<br />
As always I hope this issue helps to inspire your travel experiences, and<br />
the spring season brings you many magical moments spent savouring the<br />
glorious <strong>British</strong> Isles - wherever you choose to visit. u<br />
