Join the best-dressed residents at Blackpool Zoo they’ve got their dinner jackets on and can’t wait to meet you. Join their keeper with a bucket of fish and head to penguin beach where you’ll be able to feed them and watch them waddle, dive and swim. What’s not to love? This is just one of many unforgettable animal experiences at the zoo.

5. Ride The Tram Train It’s the ultimate tramway experience and you can only do it here in Blackpool. Climb on board one of our amazing heritage trams and relive the glorious art deco era of the 1930s. Better still, take a ride on one of the extraordinary illuminated trams that run during the autumn season. Imagine taking a ride on a tram decked out as a trawler or a Great Western train, bejewelled in thousands of tiny lights? Yep, it’s just as magical as it sounds.

3. Go Coaster Crazy Blackpool Pleasure Beach is likely the most rideintensive theme park on the planet. The question is: How many white-knuckle rides can you stomach in a day? The famous Big One is 25 years old this summer

6. Take A Leap Of Faith Are you bold enough to take a walk of faith at the top of The Blackpool Tower? Step out of the lift 380 feet up and the thrilling SkyWalk awaits you. It’s a 5cm-thick glass platform where you can look out over the Irish Sea

and look down on the famous Golden Mile below you for a viewing experience you will never forget! Oh, and don’t forget to say a happy 125th birthday to The Tower in this special celebratory year.

7. Laugh Yourself Stupid Take a promenade stroll where every step brings a smile and a giggle. The outdoor Comedy Carpet is a celebration of comedy on an extraordinary scale.

There is nothing like the British sense of humour and the Carpet immortalises the jokes, songs and comedy catchphrases of more than a thousand of Britain’s bestloved comedians and writers. We defy you not to laugh!

8. Ride The Rapids Picture the scene: You are on the roof of the Sandcastle Waterpark building on South Promenade. Just one thing stands between you and the tropical waters below. Well two things actually: The colossal Montazooma mat slide with 360 degree loops and back-to-back turns, or the Aztec Falls, an electrifying pitch-black descent into a giant bowl. The choice is yours….

9. Marvel At The Super-Heroes It’s the ultimate selfie experience – an opportunity to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with a whole raft of Marvel comic super-heroes at Blackpool’s Madame Tussauds.

Surrounded by debris and destruction, confront the Hulk in a New York street and test (quite literally) if you are strong enough to pick up a cab! Or if that’s all too much, stand back and admire the superpowers of Spiderman, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and Captain Marvel.

10. Do Country By The Sea Blackpool’s iconic Winter Gardens might be a few thousand miles from Nashville, Tennessee, but the autumn of 2019 will bring the sweet sounds of the inaugural British Country Music Festival to the seaside.

Ward Thomas, Catherine McGrath and Sarah Darling will headline an impressive line-up of more than 100 artists over the weekend of September 13-15. Don’t forget to pack the cowboy boots and rhinestones.

11. Sleep With The Fishes Experience a night of oceanic slumber with sharks and tropical fish at a sea-bed sleep over in Blackpool’s Sea Life centre. Get a group of friends together, pack your sleeping bags and enjoy the most incredible night beneath the ocean. Or, if you dare, enjoy your own exhilarating Jaws-style adventure when you come face to face with more than a dozen sharks.

12. Ride The Lights Get ready for an electrifying cycle ride under Blackpool’s world-famous Illuminations. Head for the seafront on Tuesday 27 August and you can join thousands of riders as they travel along the Promenade for a sneak preview of the 2019 Lights in a totally traffic-free environment.

This is bike riding – but not as you know it!

VOLVO S60

by Rob Auchterlonie

A

NEW Volvo WITHOUT a diesel engine? How times have changed, and how indeed Volvo has changed.

The Scandinavian purveyor of one of the best and most complete range of cars on offer to those who appreciate a fine bit of motoring architecture claims the latest all-new S60 is the most dynamic handling Volvo ever made.

I’m not about to disagree with that statement. The UK launch of the car took in a near 300 mile route around some of the best parts of Scotland, Skyfall country to you and me, and mixing urban, rural and very rural.

The combination of roads showed that this is indeed a fine handling premium mid sized saloon, one that can gobble up the miles in a relaxed and refined manner.

It is the first modern Volvo to be sold without diesel power under the bonnet, and while their oil burners are hardly the most intrusive on offer out there, the change to petrol seems to add an extra level of refinement to the package.

26

The engine in question here is a 2.0 litre four cylinder Drive-E T5 unit, all aluminium and pumping 250hp and 350Nm of torque, connected to an eight speed automatic gearbox. Others to be available later are a 390hp T8 Twin Engine and 405hp T8 Twin Engine Polestar engineered petrol-electric plug-in hybrid versions. Petrol versions are front wheel drive, the hybrids all wheel drive.

The refined ride is accented by the lack of engine noise and the fact you can hear the wind whistling past the door mirrors as you press on.

Even the sometimes uneven roads of the west coast of Scotland did little to unsettle the S60 and its excellent mix of performance and efficiency.

Steering has a lightness and precision that makes manoeuvring a decent sized car easier than you might expect, with all corners easy to locate thanks to front and rear parking sensors.

As with all modern Volvos, the spacious and generously equipped cabin is devoid of superfluous

buttons and switches, and dominated by the Sensus nine inch touchscreen in the middle of the dash that controls just about everything you might need to alter at any given point.

It’s smart with a capital S, and a very comfortable environment to be in.

The first S60s in the UK are R-Design Edition models which come with 19 inch diamond cut alloys, a rear view camera, Harmon Kardon sound system, a heated steering wheel and a raft of Volvo safety features. That includes Pilot Assist, where a forward facing camera and radar detects your lane and vehicles in front and keeps the car within its lane, working with the adaptive cruise control to keep at a safe

distance from the vehicle in front.

It’s a stepping stone towards fully autonomous driving, a key innovation area for Volvo.

Last year Volvo sold 600,000 cars globally, with 50,319 of those in the UK, and it is the current fastest growing premium brand in the UK, introducing an all new range in just four years.

Among its plans for the future are to cap the top speed of its cars to 112mph, to introduce driver monitor cameras in its cars from next year, and for all its cars to incorporate a mobile wifi hotspot.

The pace of progress is exemplary.

FASTFACTS: Volvo S60 R-Design Edition Price: £37,935 (£41,210 as tested) Engine: 2.0 litre, four cylinder, petrol Power: 250hp Torque: 350Nm Transmission: eight speed automatic Top speed: 145mph 0-62mph: 6.5 seconds Economy: 35.3-39.8mpg (WLTP combined) CO2 emissions: 155g/km

Trinity needs furniture donations

T

rinity Hospice is in desperate need of donations of furniture for its charity shops. The hospice for the Fylde coast sells furniture from some of its 15 shops, including its Donation Centre on Talbot Road, Blackpool.

But donations of larger items have dwindled, and the charity’s retail boss is today calling on the community to help.

Paul Guest, Head of Retail for Trinity Hospice, said: “We have some fantastic supporters here on the Fylde coast who donate some wonderful things for us to sell in our shops, and of course we have our regular customers who come in to grab a bargain and help us with vital income for Trinity.

“We have noticed a drop in the number of people donating furniture, though we will always have people who want to buy these larger items. We are asking everyone to consider donating their furniture to Trinity Hospice, so that we can raise even more money to support everyone who needs expert palliative and end-of-life care locally.

“Maybe you’ve recently redecorated and have furniture that no longer fits in your colour scheme, or maybe you’ve had something you’ve wanted to get rid of for a while, but you just don’t know how.

“As long as your furniture is fire safe if it’s upholstered, and is in good condition, we want it.”

The hospice shops contribute an impressive £400,000 to Trinity Hospice, which each year costs £9 million to run.

The hospice is able to collect large donations, or they can be dropped off at the Donation Centre. For more information and to book a collection, visit www. trinityhospice.co.uk/support-us/our-shops.
