TRAVEL
You may have spent your summer, or even the
past year, seeing the world, but now the leaves are
starting to fall, chances are you're back to Blighty
with a bump, and gazing wistfully out of that
seminar room window.
But if you're finding it hard to squash those itchy
feet into sensible shoes, don't despair. You may
not be able to hop on a plane to Bali right now but
if you know where to head you can recreate those
travelling experiences right here on British soil,
and still be back in time for lectures on Monday.
CRAVING CALIFORNIA?
We may not have the weather but we sure do
have the waves. Thanks to the deep Atlantic
low-pressure system, Cornwall sees Europe's
most powerful swells, attracting surfers from
around the globe and making this coastal county
the perfect place to relive that beach-based trip.
Newquay � the home of British surfing � has
beaches facing in all directions, meaning you'll
never miss a break, as well as some notoriously
raucous nightlife; while nearby Watergate Bay has
a more laidback, mellow vibe and some of the best
sunsets you'll ever see.
Stay: Newquay Surf Lodge, Newquay. Rooms and
dorms in a lively atmosphere with a communal
lounge, kitchen and pool room. From �15.

Eat: The Beach Hut, Watergate Bay. Vast
breakfasts, languid lunches and superb hot
chocolate in a laid-back, beachfront atmosphere.

YEARNING FOR THE BIG APPLE?
Ok, so the self-styled "capital of the world" may
have recently topped Time Out's world's greatest
cities list, but snapping at its heels was our very
own capital. Thanks to its multicultural make-up
London has a cultural scene that is second to
none, with eccentric street styles and thriving
subcultures that few cities can match.
POST-TRAVEL BLUESFresh air, the open road, a hostel full of `crazy' types swapping tall tales over the
tequila shooters... Ain't backpacking grand?
