Picking up the waves at the Hi-Land Fling
Lost Shore Surf Resort hosted the Hi-Land Fling a two-day event featuring 20 top class pro surfers showing off their skills in Europe's largest inland surf destination over the last two days.
The waves were perfect and the event was styled as a festival of surf with DJs and street food, a surf film night and fireside whisky tastings.
Surfers included stars from all over the world, including Netflix and HBO stunt surfer Hunter Jones (USA), seven-time Irish champ Gearoid McDaid, French national champ Nicolas Paulet, Olympic Athlete Tim Elter and Scottish champions Craig McLauchlan and Phoebe Strachan.

This magical truffle hunting experience is just outside of Sydney
Mmm, truffles! Whether layered in a luxe lasagne, baked in brie, grated over scrambled eggs, or infused in oil, they get us drooling. With winter upon us, Central NSW is fast becoming a must-visit destination for truffle lovers. Foodies will be delighted to learn that RedGround Australia in the high country of Oberon has a series of new truffle experiences including truffle hunting and tasting at their farm. While traditional farms have truffle pigs to forage for truffles, RedGround has Sarge and Scout, the resident truffle-hunting dogs who lead the way all year round. This winter's Truffle Hunt, Touch and Taste Experience ($220pp for three hours) includes a fireside tasting of truffle-infused bites, a guided walk through the truffière (a fancy French word for the place where the truffles are grown), an introduction to truffle farming and grading, a hands-on cooking session, plus a glass or two of sparkling. Want to stay a little longer? The Ultimate Truffle Retreat ($795pp) includes two nights in a private guesthouse, a gourmet hamper and local wine, plus a three-hour private truffle hunt followed by gourmet meals of truffle-infused food ranging from entrées to desserts, plus bubbles.

Lyon relegated to Ligue 2 over financial problems
The seven-time French champions were hit with a provisional relegation back in November after racking up massive debts, and although they have since sold a number of first-team players, French football watchdog the DNCG upheld the relegation following meetings on Tuesday. The decision was announced by the French Football League (LFP) on Tuesday evening. Monaco, Nantes and Paris FC will face no further action. Although Lyon can still appeal against the ruling, the decision to relegate a club that won seven consecutive titles between 2001-02 and 2007-08, and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League as recently as 2020, will send shockwaves through French football. The club's president John Textor told L'Equipe last week he was confident the club's financial position had been resolved, having said back in November there was 'no chance' the club would be relegated. Textor is in the process of selling his shares in Premier League club Crystal Palace, who are at risk of being denied their place in the Europa League next season as Lyon have also qualified after finishing sixth in Ligue 1. A sale to Woody Johnson, owner of the NFL's New York Jets, has been agreed but the Premier League is yet to ratify the deal and Johnson must yet pass the Premier League's owners' and directors' test. After receiving the provisional relegation last year, Lyon sold the likes of Said Benrahma, Anthony Lopes and Maxence Caqueret in January, and this summer they have already sold Rayan Cherki to Manchester City.
