Small is beautiful again
Article Abstract:
The county of Rutland was abolished in 1974, becoming a small part of Leicestershire. However, it is to come into existence again on Apr 01 1997 as a result of local government reorganisation. It is a very small county, covering only 39,398 ha, and has traditionally had a rather negative reputation. However, it has a number of significant tourist attractions, including fishing, cycling, watersports, nature reserves and a butterfly and aquatic centre.

The ups and downs of waterskiing
Article Abstract:
Learning to waterski can be a very challenging experience. Beginners find it hard to retain their balance and to move from a crouching position to the correct upright position. The wash of the boat makes novice waterskiers feel very nervous, and it can take a long time to gain more confidence. Some people decide that skiing on snow is preferable to waterskiing, as they feel more in control when skiing on snow.
