I really enjoy growing fresh fruit and vegetables on my three allotment plots. It is good to get out in the fresh air and do something really worth while while the sun is shining (sometimes when the weather isn't quite so good too!)
I have played the occasional round of golf, but never often enough to improve much. In 2008 I decided to take up Golf more seriously by getting membership at my local golf club (City Of Wakefield Golf Course). I have played a couple of full rounds but have enjoyed the opportunity to play a hand full of holes on a summers evening. I also play with friends and colleagues from work in the summer.
Walking has been a part of my upbrining, not only through the obvious necessities but also as a leisure activity. With family I have enjoyed many walks, hikes and more serious expeditions raning from riverside sauntering in the Yorkshire Dales to heading up and down Snowdon (without using the train).
In March 2003 I was on an industrial placement spending most of my time Monday to Friday sat behind a desk. To ensure that I maintained my health and fitness I decided to join a gym so I could exercise in a dry and suitable environment whatever the weather.
I have enjoyed swimming since the first time I enetered the water and attended swimming lessons for many years as a child. I took part in swimming galas through Cubs and Scouts and progressed through life saving awards. Now I just swim for pleasure and fitness as it is a good general work out and doesnt put too much pressure on the joints.
I enjoy running, cycling, rowing and a few other items of equipment in the gym. I also attend a yoga class occasionally and find it to be hard work, relaxing and generally very rewarding
