Over the years the Algarve has become a popular tourist destination. CLIFF MICHELMORE looks at some sporting holiday options at Vale do Lobo - on the golf course, and at Roger Taylor 's recently, opened tennis centre.
The South of France has long been popular with British holiday-makers, but styles there have changed and camping is now all the rage, with the result that, in high summer, the camp sites are filled to overflowing. John Carter reports on what is being done to relieve that pressure. But is it enough? Derek Cooper continues his journey around Travellers' Britain, from Hereford to the Malvern Hills.

The Changing Face of Venus Venus has always been a planet of surprises, and very recently the Pioneer spacecraft orbiting the planet have provided some more. There is evidence of current active volcanoes, very similar to those on Earth, and it seems that in the distant past (when the Sun was cooler than at present) Venus may have sustained life, only for it to be destroyed as the Sun grew hotter, changing the 'Planet of Love' into an inferno.
Patrick Moore discusses how our knowledge of Venus has changed in view of these exciting new discoveries.
