BBC2, 8:00pm - 9:00pm Richard Hammond will race Speed Flyers François Bon and Antoine Montant from Arc 1950 to Villaroger.<br />
Hammond is in a Audi RS6 Estate and to get from 1950 to Villaroger needs to come down to Bourg Saint Maurice at the bottom of the valley before heading on up the Tignes road to Villaroger.  The Speed Flyers on skis and parapenting have a much more direct route.</p>

BA have decided not to continue carrying surfboards as well as hang gliders, windsurfing boards and sails, kayaks or canoes, pole vaults or javelins on their flights from the 6th November onwards.<br />
Karen Walton, National Director, BSA, says, “If everyone who surfs could take five minutes to go online and follow our recommended action steps then we will have a real representation of the swell of support for the reversal of this absurd decision."<br />

<p>Or, bring/rent a car and visit Annecy or Grenoble or perhaps Italy and Switzerland. We went to Aoste in Italy the other day (1 1/2 hours drive) and had the best pizzas ever made! There is some pretty serious retail therapy there too for those who are into that.</p>
<p>It isn't a luxury pad, but it is comfortable, clean and friendly and has 8Mbps Wi-fi so you can keep on top of your myspace! You have of course full use of the kitchen so you can do what you want for meals - eat out, eat in, have coco-pops or whip up an 8 course edwardian banquet... A home from home if you will. There are up to 8 beds so come alone or bring some mates, there will be room for you.</p>
<p>Bourg is a pretty cool, perhaps quirky, little town which is a great hub for sports and has bars, a nightclub (of sorts), a cinema, good restaurants, supermarkets and shops for most things you could need. As well as all of the gravity sports, there is golf nearby, tennis, swimming pools (indoor and outdoor), beach volleyball court, basketball etc.</p>
<p>If you are *seriously* bored of home, how about coming out for two months and biking every day! I'll do very special rates for mountain bike seasonaires, the funicular opens this Saturday so get on your bike and get in touch. It'd be cool to have some more folks to bike with.</p>
<p>For short breaks though, I'm looking at charging €30 per person per night which is about 20 quid which should help me to pay the rent until winter comes when this place will be available for discerning seasonaires. I'll post information about that soon, but keep it in mind if you're up for a season snowboarding in Les Arcs.</p>
<p>One final thing, the Tour de France is coming through Bourg on the 15th July which should be a good laugh, especially if it is wet and carnage ensues.</p>
<p>Get in touch now to book or if you have any questions either through the site or my mobile remains 0033630474400 from the UK.</p>
