Katie's diary
Saturday 24 August
We left home early in the morning, but our flight was delayed and we didn't arrive at Dublin Airport
until late in the afternoon. We were really tired, but we took a bus to our hotel because taxis in
Dublin are very expensive. When we got to the hotel, we had a rest and then went out to explore the
city. We had a quick sandwich in a small café and then decided to go to Grafton Street. I bought a
scarf and some T shirts. I wanted to buy a sweater too, but I couldn't find one that I liked. In the
evening, we ate in a Chinese restaurant and went to a typical Irish pub. We met some really nice Irish
people and had so much fun that we didn't get back to the hotel until very late!
Sunday 25 August
We got up late and had breakfast in the hotel. I had cereal and some fruit. Anna just had toast. After
breakfast, we went for a walk around the city. We saw Trinity College and the Guinness Storehouse.
In the afternoon, we had a pizza and then took a bus to the train station. Travelling by bus in Dublin
is a great way to see the sights. We caught an evening train to Cork and arrived at about nine o'clock.
We walked to our hotel and went to bed because we wanted to get up early the next day and
explore the city.

DR MARTENS AT 50
Dr Martens boots were introduced into Britain 50 years ago, a half century that has seen the country
transformed, as musical movements have emerged and declined, and fashions come and gone.
However, DMs have been the footwear of choice for everyone, from punks to policemen. Klaus
Märtens, the German army doctor who created the original design after a skiing injury, thought of an
air cushioned sole. It provided comfort and absorbed impact from walking and running.
For the first few years in Britain, Dr Martens were the working men's boots, worn in factories and by
postmen. When Pete Townshend, from the Who, wore them in 1966, they became fashionable.
Townshend bought DMs because he was tired of the 1960s clothes. "I was sick of dressing up as a
Christmas tree in clothes that disturbed my guitar playing," he says. The boots helped him jump
around on stage, and reminded him of his working class origins.
By the 70s DMs had been adopted and made part of their uniform by several subcultures, such as
mods, rockers, goths, and the most frightening of all, skinheads. Gavin Watson was a teenage
skinhead. "I was 12 when I bought my first DMs," Watson says. "And the rule was to baptize them by
kicking someone, it didn't matter who."
Adapted from Sarfraz Manzoor, The Observer, 31 10 2010.

MARS MISSION PLAN LAUNCHED BY US MILLIONAIRE
A US millionaire who became the first private space tourist has unveiled ambitious plans to send a
man and woman (probably a married couple) on a round trip to Mars in 2018.
Dennis Tito, 72, a former rocket scientist who made his fortune through investments, said his Mission
for America aims to encourage a new era of space exploration. Tito, who became the first private
space tourist when he paid the Russians $20m for a ticket to the International Space Station in 2001,
announced his plans in Washington DC. He is not intending to fly himself.
The trip will take advantage of the alignment of the planets in January 2018 to fly around Mars and
return to Earth in the relatively short time of 501 days. The same opportunity will not arise again
until 2031.
Tito says he plans to fund the mission until the end of 2014 and hopes to raise the rest of the money
through donations from private investors and foundations. "There is no time to lose," he said. "Now
is the time." The mission, likely to launch on 5 January 2018, aims to take a man and a woman from
the US on a flyby to within 100 miles of the Martian surface, and return them safely to Earth. The
actual capsule the pair will travel in, is likely to be "the size of a toilet".
The mission faces substantial obstacles. The human body adapts to space by losing muscle, and
astronauts need daily exercise on resistence machines to slow down the wasting. Finding room for
those machines is crucial.
The experts say the mission will depend on Tito's ability to raise funds. Tito said the cost would be
similar to that of a mission to low Earth orbit. But it is almost certain that he will not get rich from the
mission. He said: "Let me be clear, I will come out a lot poorer as a result of this mission but my
grandchildren will come out a lot richer for the inspiration it will give them."

VULNERABLE TENANTS TARGETED BY 'CUCKOOS'
Criminal gangs are targeting isolated individuals living in housing association and council
accommodation by becoming their friends and using their homes to deal drugs.
There are many rewards for "cuckooing". The gangs are able to operate from an unobtrusive flat out
of sight of the police and use it to deal and manufacture drugs in a safe environment. Once the gangs
are using the properties for criminal enterprises, their inhabitants are terrified of going to the police
for fear they will be suspected of drug dealing, which would cause their expulsion.
"They are predatory people," said Tony Waters, the manager of a hostel run by the homelessness
charity Thames Reach. "If you're a granny living on your own you won't get cuckooed, because you'll
have friends to support you. But if you're vulnerable, say you're ex homeless, you'll be clocked
straight away. These gangs are very se lective."
The rise of cuckooing is a response to the closure of crack smoking hideaways by local authorities.
This coincided with a push to accommodate thousands of homeless in flats run by housing
associations. The gangs often use drugs as a strategy, but sometimes it is simply friendship that
opens the door. "Most victims are lonely and have nothing to do with their time," said Mike Nicholas
from Thames Reach.
Pete was placed in a flat by his local council after leaving rehabilitation for alco holism. The two men
two flats down seemed friendly, one of them offering Pete his crack pipe. "I thought they were all
right at first," Pete said. "I'd been in rehab, so I didn't know anyone. At least it was someone to talk
to." The men would treat Pete's flat as their own, using it to smoke crack and deposit their bikes.
Then they started beating Pete. He was in constant fear of them entering his flat to take drugs when
he was des perately trying to stay off alcohol. One night he was alone, he decided to flee. "I left
everything I had there: TV, DVD player, mobile phone," he said. Pete was somewhat lucky: he could
get out quickly. But having lost his flat he is back in a hostel, drinking super strength lager and
struggling to turn his life around.
Adapted from The Observer, Jamie Doward, Sunday 3 October 2010.

THE LONG DISTANCE CYCLIST
As 33 year old Londoner Luke Bream pedalled past the finishing post of the Tour de France last year,
he felt a surge of excitement that made the pain of the past three weeks worthwhile. Unlike the
professional team cyclists with their state of the art bikes and convoys of support vehicles, Luke
an amateur who had only recently taken up cycling , had decided to have a go at the Tour de
France on a last minute whim. "Looking back, it was a bit mad," he admits, laughing. "I had no
fitness, no biking experience and I'd never been up a mountain. The other cyclists thought I was out
of my mind!"
As an amateur, Luke couldn't ride alongside the professional cyclists but instead rode each of the 21
stages one day in advance of them. Whereas they were hooked up to food drips at night, Luke had
his mum in a white transit van supplying him with Coca Cola, Mars Bars and jam butties throughout
the day.
Having never even seen the route on TV, Luke was in shock. "The mountains are 15 miles long and
there might be four or five of them in a day. It just killed me. But I never got off the bike to walk."
Day after day he battled on, setting out early to compensate for cycling at about half the speed of the
professionals and finishing each stage by nightfall.
Only three weeks previously he had been sitting drinking coffee, contemplating how to fill his time.
His sandwich business had recently gone bust and he was left with no money and a 40 cigarette a
day habit. So he gave up smoking and bought himself a bike, the first he'd had since he was eight.
"There I was in Starbucks, reading in the paper about the first leg of the Tour de France setting off
from England. So I phone my mother and say: 'I'm thinking about doing the Tour de France. Will you
come?' "
His mum, 68 year old Carolyn, a former primary school teacher, immediately agreed, but she turned
out to be almost as badly prepared as her son: she suffers from chronic vertigo, so had to drive on
the wrong side of the road through the Pyrenees and Alps hugging the cliffs. She was also
claustrophobic, so she wasn't able to sleep in the back of the van with the bike like Luke, sleeping
across the front seat instead.
On the fifth day Luke got food poisoning and was up all night being sick. But with some tough love
from Mum he managed to finish the stage. This year he plans to do it again on his own, pitching a
tent at the end of each stage. "Losing all my money was the best thing that could have happened to
me," he says now. Setting himself near impossible challenges and completing them gives him a sense
of pride he never felt through work. Separated from his wife and with two small boys, he has set up a
new business selling food supplements to cyclists, but limits himself to part time hours.
His next project is to do the Race Across America, where amateur cyclists cover 3,000 miles in 12
days cycling up to 23 hours a day. Only a handful of "nu ers", as Luke puts it, are willing to try it.
His father jokes that if Luke is "scared senseless" by something, he will want to do it. As Luke says:
"Endurance sports are like life it's long and it can be painful, but what matters is how you respond
when things get difficult."
