Writers' block: Shall we camp?

I love reading Travel Weekly, which opens windows on amazing journeys and destinations, accompanied by breathtaking pictures.

However, it is becoming increasingly difficult to save up for holidays, causing many to forego much-needed family breaks. Please could you start a series of shoestring getaways for families that won't break the bank? We all need a good rest - please help us to find destinations that can save us from the rat race without having to take out a second bond. - Sarah Robinson

Wait for me, girls!

I have always been afraid of heights but after seeing Marianne Schwankhart's photographs of Kilimanjaro "I'm sitting on top of Kilimanjaro", October 2), I have decided to stop looking before I leap and head for Africa's highest peak.

Your new "Girls Gone Wild" feature brings out the wild part of me. I am collecting them, saving my money, and hope to follow in some of their footsteps. - Jayne David, by e-mail

Travelling from Heathrow

In response to your correspondent looking for the best way to get from Heathrow to central London (Peter's Post, October 2), she should also investigate the Heathrow Express, which runs every 15 minutes from the airport to Paddington station. The journey takes 15 minutes and the fare is £18 one way - plus a cab from Paddington to Bloomsbury. The Piccadilly line is still the cheapest way to get from the airport to Bloomsbury, though. There are lifts down to the Heathrow tube station and there are also lifts at Russell Square, the Underground station for Bloomsbury. - Robert du Plessis, by e-mail
