Usually this time of year (June) is the bain of a football fans' life. Unless there is a major championship there is no football. I've decided to embrace this period as a time to rest and recuperate for next season, to recharge the batteries if you will. Consequently I have decided to use this time to try new and exciting hobbies.
Activity - Walking
What a pleasant day I chose to start this hobby, sunny and warm. Unfortunately the route I chose passed by evidence of football. Man United were conducting a "Soccer School" on the playing fields of my old school. "Learn to play the United Way" was the catchy slogan. It smacked a little of neo-imperialism to me. Catch-'em young, when their minds are pliable, and they'll be a Man Utd consumer for the rest of their earthly existence. Their thinking probably runs; "North Wales, they play rugby there don't they? Should be rich pickings then, no competition" No proper clubs here you see.
Anyway, on with the walking, it was very pleasant indeed. What would the world be like if people didn't have the time to stop and stare? Well there would be less holidaymakers getting in my way that's for certain. Finally, I'd recommend walking to anyone that hasn't tried it.
Top Tip: Use the pavement. Activity Rating: 3/5
