		<description><![CDATA[ In winter, the clear blue skies and prehistoric landscapes of this small island in the Canaries are a dazzling contrast to Britain's grey skies In 1990, a giant lizard was discovered on La Gomera, the second-smallest and one of the most unspoilt of the Canary Islands, a 45-minute ferry ride west of Tenerife. The lizard, called Gallotia bravoana, lives on the cliff tops – you are unlikely to encounter him in the flesh. But he wriggles his way onto the local ceramics and has become the island's motif, its trusty celebrity. I had not been on La Gomera long before reflecting that the image of a lizard – if what you picture is a reptile basking on a rock – is the least appropriate of symbols. For idleness is not a feature of the place – not, at least, if you have signed up for a Headwater walking tour. La Gomera is a walker's paradise. You can walk, said our guide Neil Flynn (who has a comprehensive knowledge of the island), for two weeks and never retrace your steps. We were staying in the island's Parador, looking over Gomera's main town, St Sebastián, and the sea. It is, in the best tradition of these Spanish state-owned historic hotels, at once severe and luxurious. It has red stone walls, a Moorish inner courtyard and a spectacular yet unheated swimming pool. The distinguished bedrooms have high wooden beds and stiff linen sheets, like Christmas tablecloths. I particularly admired the mahogany fan that made my bedroom feel like an ancient flying machine. It gave me the feeling that I was about to take off – as, in a sense, I was. Our first walk launched us from Las Toscas, in the south of the island. We were 200 miles from the coast of Africa. Released from the harsh British winter, I felt like an insect that had crawled out from under a brick, and could not stop exclaiming over the dazzling quality of the light. It had that clarity you see at the beginning or end of a perfect summer's day – a gift to photographers. On La Gomera, though, it was like this all day long. Our first walk was dramatic – in less perfect weather, it might even have seemed sinister. For this is a volcanic island, and the landscape has a prehistoric look, as if one were about to run into a dinosaur (or the giant lizard). "When were the volcanoes last active?' I asked nervously. "Between seven and 12 million years ago," was the reply. La Gomera is shaped by its explosive past. The story of ancient eruptions is written in stone: there are curious chimneys of solidified lava with nicknames such as "The Plug" or "The Sombrero". The palm trees have evolved sensibly: they are fire-proof. At this time of year, everything was more rocky than green, but enlivened by plants such as aloe vera, euphorbia and tiny orchids. At one point, Neil paused to inspect a small white bubble on a prickly pear. He squeezed it between his thumb and forefinger and maroon blood flowed ghoulishly out. "The cochineal beetle," he explained. Neil also pointed out four canaries – a modest flash of yellow on each of their breasts – welcoming us. He told us that La Gomera has no snakes and almost no insects. I wondered if that contributed to the deep peace on the island – a quiet unlikely ever to be interrupted by mass tourism, as international flights can't land at its tiny airport. Our first walk ended at the village of El Cercado, in Bar Maria, a charming eccentric cafe whose mauve walls aredecorated with cigarette lighters and key rings. There, we had an ideal, late lunch: a gloriously miscellaneous picnic of almogrote , a cheesy paté laced with chillies, and potaje de berros – deliciously sharp homemade watercress soup. We drizzled palm honey onto goat's cheese and helped ourselves to rabbit stew. A special treat was guarapo , made from palm sap, which tasted like liquid marrons glacés . As we drank, Maria showed us vertiginous snaps of her husband, Manolo, balanced at the top of a palm tree on a long blue ladder, collecting sap for this sweetest of drinks. Once upon a time, this quiet island was loud – with whistling. La Gomera is the only place in the world to have developed whistling into a language: Silbo Gomero . Documented since Roman times, whistling helped Gomerans resist the Spanish conquistadors in the 15th century. And as part of our "whistlestop" tour, we met two masters who, before demonstrating their skills, performed a sort of national anthem on castanets and drum. The song, somewhere between lament and rallying cry, explained how proud the singers were to be Gomeran. Then came the whistling – the men sounded like gossiping birds – and a lesson. Stick the middle knuckle of the index or middle finger of one hand on the tip of your tongue, push it to one side of your mouth and whistle through the other side (the tongue controls intonation). Try it – it is impossible. I felt ridiculous – I made no sound at all. But Gomerans can whistle fluently about anything: births, marriages, deaths. The price of a goat can be negotiated between cliff top and valley. A whistled message can encircle the island in an hour. There are even whistling accents (the northern and southern whistles sound different). But whistling is fighting for its life – against the mobile phone. To keep tradition alive, whistling is now on the primary school syllabus. Evening classes are available too. "You can whistle for it…" must be a popular retort on La Gomera. Our second day's walk, in northern Vallehermoso, was sublime. Like mad dogs and Englishmen, we climbed 600m in the midday sun. It was a strenuous five-hour walk, but it never felt precarious thanks to kindly man-made steps in the mountainside. At the top, I sat and listened to a sheep's bell and felt a faint breeze scented with wild, strangely bitter lavender. The landscape here was more sumptuous, less prehistoric. The mountain ahead was perfect in the way the peak of a meringue is – a delicate point wrapped in haze. The Headwater trip is organised so that guests do not have to do any tiresome or unpicturesque walking, thanks to Neil's tirelessly obliging chauffeuring in his dependable minibus. He drove us to and from the hotel at the beginning and end of each of our walks (if you were going to La Gomera for a week's walking, you would be, as we were, based at the Parador throughout). At the end of the second day, Neil kindly agreed to give me a lift down to the beach for an unscheduled swim just before nightfall (the sun in December goes down at 6.15pm). The volcanic sand in Gomera is black, which is quite a novelty. On your way into the sea, you feel like a chimney sweep stepping through a hearth. And because of the timing, the sea was black too, with flashes of reflected white light from the promenade alongside it, and surreal glimpses of its Christmas decorations. I loved the strangeness of this swim and will always associate Gomera with light and blackness (it seemed right, on the last night, to be served squid risotto). It was only on my return that I discovered La Gomera was Christopher Columbus's last port of call before he crossed the Atlantic. He had planned a four-day stay in August 1492, to take on provisions, but fell in love with the island's governor, the superbly named Beatriz de Bobadilla, and couldn't tear himself away. Even without the holiday romance, I understand how he must have felt. The Gomerans know what they have, too. Neil recently asked some locals in a bar what they would like to change about their island. They thought hard for a moment, then said: "Nothing." Essentials Headwater (01606 720199; headwater.com ) offers a seven-night guided walking holiday on La Gomera from £1,249, staying at the four-star Parador de la Gomera, with all breakfasts and evening meals (including wine), five picnic lunches, regional information booklet, local maps and ferry crossing from Tenerife but not flights. Packages including flights from Gatwick start from £1,443.

		<description><![CDATA[ Week 16: Mike Carter's round Britain ride finds him in Cumbria musing on the immensity of Morecambe Bay – and the enormity of the Met Office's massive summer hoax The lambs are getting huge. They've been ever-present on my journey and, from my saddle, I've watched them grow from cute little bundles suckling gently to bigger than their mothers, and feeding with such violent head-butting that they lift her clean off the ground. Sometimes I find myself shouting at them to treat their mothers with more respect. And that admission alone perhaps gives an indication of what more than three months spent alone on a bicycle can do to a man. The day will come soon when the lambs disappear altogether, and with it a sense of time passing and summer fast receding. I use the term summer in its loosest sense, of course. Ever since I stupidly took advantage of a Boots two-for-the-price-of-one suncream offer two months ago, the bottles have sat unused in my panniers. And yet, as I pedal along in the rain and the cold and south-westerly gales, I keep thinking that this day, this week, this month, must be an aberration, and the barbecue summer is just around the corner. Then I remember that it's September, and I plan murderous revenge on the Met Office and their smiley, autocutie propagandists, while remembering John Cleese's line in the movie Clockwise : "It's not the despair… I can take the despair. It's the hope I can't stand." The Cumbrian coast, with its brooding cliffs and deserted beaches, and the peaks of the Lake District with their heads in the clouds seemed to suit the melancholic weather perfectly. I followed National Cycle Network Route 72, through the distinguished, Georgian grid-patterned streets of Whitehaven (allegedly used as a template for New York), through lovely St Bees, thronged with bedraggled ramblers starting Alfred Wainwright's 190-mile Coast-to-Coast walk to Robin Hoods Bay (doubtless plotting their own revenge on John Kettley et al), and then across undulating farmland full of the aforementioned delinquent lambs. The unmistakable shape of Sellafield's reactor came into view, surrounded by buildings so immense and numerous and sci-fi-city weird that I wouldn't have been surprised if flying monkeys had been dispatched to repel me. I was not 100m from the dome, so dilapidated-looking, so quiet, so terrifying, when my mobile phone buzzed into life, flashing urgently that I needed to insert my sim card. Then, for the first time in the six years I've had it, it decided to run a little demo film I had no idea existed. I tried to turn the phone off but couldn't, so instead just pedalled, really quite quickly, south. Barrow-in-Furness is one of those strange anachronisms in modern Britain: a town that's still full of factories actually making stuff. Okay, so every factory says BAe Systems on the side, and the "stuff" tends to be weapons but, hey, at least we still lead the way in something. I cycled around the docks, past the nuclear submarines and the warships moored within a stone's throw of the main shopping centre, and headed straight back out of town again. A cyclist pulled alongside me and we rode together for a while up the Furness peninsula. Ian was on his way home from his shift at BAe. "I make guns, basically," he said. "War must be good business for Barrow," I said. "Oddly enough, no," he said. "Countries seem to buy more weapons during peacetime." After Ian peeled off, the road rose gently and I was greeted by one of the most astonishing things I had ever seen. Below me was the seemingly infinite golden expanse of Morecambe Bay, a vast desert fringed by distant shores, the sheer scale of the sands impossible to comprehend. Time and again, the road ducked into woodland, and each time it spat me out, I felt compelled to stop, staring as incredulously as if I was looking at Mars. I followed the bay to Morecambe and checked into the 1933 art deco confection that is the Midland Hotel, a place I had longed to visit since reading about its reopening in 2008. It had a "fairy staircase one would willingly climb till it reached to heaven," Country Life wrote back in the 30s. One would willingly have climbed the staircase if one hadn't been cycling all day, I thought, as I pressed the lift button. Imbued with the spirit of past guests, Wallis Simpson and Noel Coward among them, I ordered a gin and tonic then sat on my balcony high above the bay and, as the sky darkened, watched the desert flood with the speed of time-lapse trickery.
