Flying Solo

**Dover → Folkestone via Samphire Hoe** **The Plan:** * **Distance:** 9 miles * **Duration:** about 3.5 hrs * **Elevation:** +650 ft / –775 ft **Difficulty:** *Moderate*\- some cliff and hill\, yet rewarding\. Expect rolling paths\, dramatic cliffside views\, and just enough ups and downs to keep things interesting\. **Highlights Along the Way** 🔹 Shakespeare Cliff - A sweeping cliff face named after the Bard himself, offering a jaw-dropping first glimpse of the coastline’s grandeur. 🔹 Samphire Hoe - A stunning nature reserve born from the earth dug out of the Channel Tunnel. Here, wildflowers bloom against chalky cliffs, seabirds soar overhead, and the wind carries the salt and freedom of the open sea. 🔹 Abbot’s Cliff Sound Mirror - A fascinating relic from 1928, this huge concrete dish once listened for enemy aircraft long before radar existed. Stand here and let history surround you. 🔹 Sweeping Cliff-Edge Views - The path hugs the edge of the cliffs, where turquoise waters crash against chalky walls below — a perfect spot for epic photos and quiet moments alike. **Reward Yourself in Folkestone:** After nearly 9 miles of pure coastal magic, Folkestone greets you with open arms. Settle into a seaside restaurant, order something hearty, and watch the sun melt into the horizon. The ocean sparkles, the air buzzes with the hum of the harbour, and you’ve earned every single bite. **\[Check out our last trip on HERE\]\(Check out our last trip video HERE\)** **A few things to know before you book:** * **Tickets:** Non-refundable, but if you can’t make it, you’re welcome to pass your spot on to someone else. A full refund will be issued if the hike is cancelled by the organiser. * **Getting there:** Trains to Dover are usually around £28 return when booked in advance, or £23 Super Off-Peak with a Network Railcard. * **Meeting points:** Two options — travel together from London, or meet us directly at Dover train station if you’re coming from elsewhere. * **Weather:** The hike goes ahead rain or shine, so bring layers and be ready for all conditions. * **The route:** We’ll be walking along coastal paths near the cliffs. The scenery is incredible, but some sections are exposed — sturdy footwear is a must, and please follow the guide’s instructions throughout. **Not included:** * Food & Refreshments * Transport (network railcard is recommended or group ticket bought on the day) * Anything else not listed above **⚠️ Health & Safety ⚠️** • Participants take part at their own risk. • The guide (professional event organiser ) is not responsible for personal injury, loss, or accidents. • Please ensure you are fit enough for the hike and follow safety instructions on the trail.

✨ Представьте себе день, где история не просто оживает — она расцветает буквально на глазах, превращаясь в одно из самых ярких зрелищ Европы. Это путешествие переносет вас в иное измерение — в королевство цветов и вековых легенд. Вашим главным сокровищем станет замок 🏰 Arundel Castle — один из древнейших и прекраснейших замков Англии, находящийся в Западном Сассексе. По официальным данным, замок существует вот уже 10 веков! Однако есть свидетельства, что его история началась еще раньше. Поскольку в этих местах были найдены развалины римского периода, предполагается, что в самом начале X века Альфредом Великим здесь была построена крепость для защиты против викингов. В апреле здесь происходит магия: его величественные башни и строгие рвы становятся фоном для события мирового уровня — Фестиваля тюльпанов 💐, входящего в число самых впечатляющих садовых шоу Европы. Это не просто клумбы — это грандиозное искусство. Сотни тысяч тюльпанов, включая редчайшие исторические сорта, превращают территорию замка в живой калейдоскоп. Представьте себе: геометрические композиции, взрывающиеся фейерверками алых и фиолетовых оттенков, нежные пастельные реки, бегущие вдоль крепостных валов, и уникальные «чёрные» тюльпаны, контрастирующие с зелёным бархатом газонов. Садовники-художники создают здесь настоящие картины, где архитектура и природа ведут изысканный диалог. Погрузившись в эту феерию, вы затем откроете для себя интерьеры 🛋️ замка — мир рыцарских ⚔️ залов с гобеленами, великолепной библиотеки и личных покоев герцогов, где витает дух английской аристократии. После этого спектакля цвета и истории вы спуститесь в одноимённую деревню 🏡 Arundel — очаровательный уголок с пабами, антикварными лавками и видом на готический собор. Это идеальное место, чтобы насладиться традиционным обедом, ощущая неторопливый ритм жизни. А кульминацией дня станет встреча с шедевром индустриальной эпохи — виадуком 🌉 долины Уз (Ouse Valley Viaduct). Это сооружение поражает не меньше, чем замок: его элегантные кирпичные арки, тянущиеся на полкилометра, подобны римскому акведуку, вознесённому над зелёными лугами. Прогулка рядом с этим гигантом дарит ощущение, будто вы попали в картину эпохи романтизма, где мощь человеческого гения вписана в вечный пейзаж. Возвращение в Лондон будет наполнено яркими образами: вы увезёте с собой воспоминания о рыцарской крепости, утопающей в море лучших тюльпанов Европы, и о монументальном виадуке, парящем в весеннем небе. Это путешествие, где за один день можно прикоснуться к величию разных эпох — и всё это в обрамлении незабываемой, цветущей Англии. 📝План поездки: 📍**08:45 Встреча** у отеля **[Hotel Novotel London West](https://goo.gl/maps/isJaR8654Y62),** 1 Shortlands, W6 8DR (рядом с Hammersmith Station) 📍10:30 — 14:00 Замок [Arundel Castle](https://arundelcastle.org/) и один из лучших в Европе [фестиваль тюльпанов](https://www.arundelcastle.org/events/tulip-festival/) ([от £8](https://www.arundelcastle.org/opening-times/), бронируйте заранее) 📍14:00 — 15:00 Деревня Arundel, время на обед 📍16:00 — 16:30 [Виадук долины Уз](https://maps.app.goo.gl/xLycJep6dwPFsiqN7) 📍18:00 London, Hammersmith 👣 Продолжительность путешествия зависит от погодных условий и дорожных пробок. ✅ Включено в стоимость: ⚜️Аудиогид на русском ⚜️Тур-менеджер, говорящий на русском и английском языках ⚜️Транспорт, организация мероприятия ⚜️Профессиональный водитель с курсами IAM/RoSPA ⚜️Администрация и помощь во время путешествия ⚜️НДС и все налоги, комиссия платежной системы (карта/банк/PayPal) ❌Не включено: ❌Входные билеты: цены указаны в плане путешествия ❌Питание во время путешествия: индивидуальный выбор ❌Трансфер в место встречи и после завершения поездки ❌Остановки автобуса для посадки/высадки пассажиров по пути следования ❌[Страховка](https://www.coverwise.co.uk/) в случае травм, потери багажа и личных вещей, отмены тура в последнюю минуту ❌[Evebus Club](https://evebus.com/ru/evebus-club/) – переносы броней без потерь, [выбор посадочного](https://evebus.com/ru/seating-plan) места ❌Экскурсовод: £20 с человека при условии набора группы от 6-ти участников 🎒Что взять с собой: ☑️Воду/еду по желанию ☑️Фотокамеру и зарядку для телефона ☑️Хорошее настроение 🙂 ✳️Обо всем остальном мы позаботимся.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission, and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesnt know that. He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company. His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it’s up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery, and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species. And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he’s got to do it all alone. Or does he? ————————————— Join us at Canova Hall to discuss Project Hail Mary over a coffee!

This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
