Founded in 2006 by brothers Roy and Ryan Seiders in Austin, Texas, YETI was born from a simple frustration: outdoor gear that couldn't keep up with the adventures it was made for. Their solution was to engineer coolers, drinkware and bags to the same standards as the wilderness itself, resulting in near-indestructible, quietly designed and relentlessly functional products.

Some roads are infrastructure. Some are the reason you went. The 8 below are the second kind - routes where the driving is the point, and arriving somewhere is largely incidental. A few are famous. One or two require a ferry, a permit, or a tolerance for gravel. All of them reward going slowly.

The Best Road Trips in the World

Tennis has never really needed much - a net, a rectangle, someone to hit with. Which makes it all the more striking when a court ends up somewhere extraordinary. The ones on this list weren't built for convenience: they're carved into cliffsides, tucked inside deconsecrated churches, and laid out on rooftops above the Paris skyline. A clay court suspended over the Tyrrhenian Sea. A converted chapel in Milan where the rallies happen beneath vaulted ceilings. A lone court in the Serengeti with an audience of giraffes. Whether you play or just appreciate a good view, these are eight courts worth crossing the world for.

8 Most Beautiful Tennis Courts

With the heatwave in full swing, we want to be anywhere but inside - unless there's aircon, which, in British homes, doesn't exist. So: dinner on a paddleboard, a bottle of rosé in a Lime bike basket packed with ice, or the nearest patch of grass with a picnic. Meals don't need to be complicated. Wherever you end up, just not inside.
