Book excerpt: Welcome to The Travel Club, and our inaugural e-zine! Cue the trumpet blasts and laser displays. You’re now a member not only of what we hope will become the essential club for those who are serious about travel, but of a club within that club – the group of travellers who were there with us from the outset. Thank you for joining us on this journey. In some ways, The Travel Club has been a long burn. We’ve discussed establishing a community of this sort on many occasions, but we’ve never quite got round to doing it. There always seemed something else ahead of it in the queue. Now, as we sit in lockdown, a club like this feels especially important. Of course, your support is hugely precious to us at this time, and we’re so very grateful for it. But first and foremost our aim is to create something special, something with genuine, long-term value. Something you’ll be pleased and proud to be part of. We want this e-zine to focus on travel features with real colour and passion, indulgent articles that represent a ‘warm bath’ of a reading experience. We want you to look forward to receiving it each month. And we want to involve you as far as possible, whether by offering unique competitions to enter and puzzles to solve or simply inviting your feedback on what we could do to make the e-zine better. And so, without further ado, I’ll leave you to dive right in. Thanks once more for signing up to The Travel Club. Please do let us know what you think. In this month's Travel Club e-zine: GETTING LOST by Hilary Bradt “Standout memories become a bit of a jumble if you’ve been travelling for 60 years. But one experience jumps out clearly as setting the benchmark for travel misery – the time I got lost for three days in the densest jungle in the world…” LITERARY LOCKDOWN by Helen & Neil Matthews "With imagination, you can go anywhere. The Chilterns and Thames Valley has inspired storytellers to create many of the world’s best and most beloved tales – come with us as we join Matilda, Will Stanton, Ratty and Mole on a literary adventure!” WORLDLY APPETITES: AJVAR Try your hand at recreating this Balkan speciality – the perfect accompaniment to a summer garden picnic! FROM THE ARCHIVES: YUGOSLAVIA by Hugh Brune We go back to 1989, in the company of Hilary Bradt and author Piers Letcher, to learn the fascinating story behind our first guide to Yugoslavia. Cue retro photos, glasses of home-made Šlivovice and tales of the dark arts of coding Slavic accents. HOPS, SKIP AND A JUMP by Rupert Wheeler & Ted Bruning Britain has some of the world’s best breweries. The expert authors of our brand-new Britain in a Bottle book pick out a few of the very finest.
