| Hello hello, Well, I don't know about you, but to me, February seems a better time to start making new health and fitness resolutions than January. Snowdrops are appearing. Light and hope are seeping in to the edges of the day. And the last of the brandy butter is well and truly gone. For my part, I've set myself a cycling challenge for this year. Tickets booked and a brand new country to explore. But how about you? If you're interested in cycling, then we have a range of guides like Cycling in Northumbria and Cycling in Surrey. Or you could take to the water with Paddling Britain and Paddling France. Then again, you could take inspiration from your armchair with the adventurous tales in John Blashford-Snell's From Utmost East to Utmost West and Hilary Bradt's Taking the Risk. Whichever suits your travel style. Until next week, Abi Have you read our guide to the best places to travel in 2025? | Ad Ethiopia As the only country in Africa never to have been colonised, Ethiopia has a unique draw. Often called the cradle of humanity, it’s a place where ancient traditions and natural wonders come together to create an unforgettable travel experience. Axum, the ancient capital, is home to towering obelisks, legendary tales of the Queen of Sheba, and the Ark of the Covenant’s supposed resting place. Addis Ababa, the dynamic current capital, blends tradition with modernity and houses the National Museum, where you can meet Lucy, one of humanity’s oldest ancestors. Breathe in deep, fresh air in the Bale Mountains National Park. Home to the Ethiopian wolf, rare mountain nyala, and sprawling heather moorlands, the park offers pristine hiking trails where the beaten track has never looked so good. After a painful civil war, parts of Ethiopia are welcoming visitors again. Make sure to check the latest official travel advice before you go as advisories are in place for certain areas.Established 15 years ago.
