Bird's eye view of Brighton

Well it seems I have been neglecting our lovely blog recently as I was away last week (I went to see Editors - I might have already mentioned that, not that I'm a fan or anything!) and so have been playing catch-up this week.

However I was surprised to see that none of my colleagues had mentioned the exciting new addition to the website that I discovered when I logged in on Monday morning. Sarah has cleverly added a new virtual interactive map so you can get live shots of the city before you visit. So you can either pretend to be a seagull flying over the Brighton Pier or alternatively that you are in Willy Wonka's glass elevator or is that just me? When I gave it a go I even managed to spot a parking space in front of my house, not that it matters as I don't drive but it's still quite exciting!

Anyway why not give it a go and see what you can spot from up above? Then pop back and let us know what you think :)

What's the weather in Brighton?

Coming to Brighton? Worried about the weather? (Why would you be though, since its always sunny here!!) Well, we've just come across this little widgety thing where you can compare the weather where you are with the weather where you are going!

I was a bit surprised though to see that the weather in Hove was a healthy 7 degress C, whilst in Brighton it was a considerably more chillsome 1 degree C! It's all a bit of fun and you can download it from the peeps at STA Travel. Or if all that's a bit of a palarvar, just keep your eyes on our VisitBrighton Brighton weather feed instead! Right, I'm off the BBC website now, to see if they think you're gonna plummet 6 degrees in the walk from Hove to Brighton...
