o Sunspot Cycle of the Northern Lights
 You may have heard about the sunspot cycle and how it is linked to sightings of the northern lights. Solar flares are explosions ejected by the sun. These flares contain charged particles and if they head our way, carried on a solar wind, earth’s magnetic field divert them.
This sunspot cycle is generally around 11 years and this coming season it reaches its peak, the solar max. and if sightings experienced over the last season are anything to go by, then this coming season should see some incredible displays |

o Fly-fishing in the Soca valley of Slovenia’s Julien Alps
 It's a pleasure for our local guides to help you discover the secret jewel known as Slovenian fly fishing! Most of the fishing is located in the North-West part of Slovenia's Julian Alps. The waters are renowned for their sky blue glacial colours, for example the Soca river and its tributaries. The Soca is the jewel of Slovenian rivers, a national treasure of the Slovenian people. It has been described as one of the most beautiful rivers of Europe, if not the most beautiful of all. The Soca is populated by the indigenous trout, the marble trout, and also the brown trout, and the Soca grayling. The best period for fishing usually occurs in late August and September. |

o Cycling in the countryside of Ukraine
Ukraine isn’t the best known of bike touring destinations, so it’s especially nice to see a new video from keen cyclist and film maker Blanche that looks at cycling in this ex-Soviet state.
It's the second biggest country of Europe. Still a lot of cyclists don't really know it |
