What other sport ?

Golf as a midhandicapper. Usually around two or three rounds a week and a couple of range/practice sessions.

I run twice a week and will do the odd 10k race. Mainly do it to keep my weight down so I can enjoy eating and drinking what I like and stay at what I would call an acceptable level of fitness for someone my age. So many porkers about in their late 20s/early 30s!

Enjoy watching most sports but can’t abide rugby or motorsport. Anything you can play in a pub has no right to be on sports channels.

Football of course
But I also do like Cricket and I've been to many cricket games, I have a soft spot for the 4/5 dayers and I would go to every single day or sit at home and watch every single day I love it! Even if it bores people

I also like Rugby both forms, I've seen England play in Rugby League and I have also got tickets booked for the Rugby World Cup semi final at Emirates stadium in November, I would like to go to Twickenham one day and watch England rugby union.

I like Snooker, I've been to the crucible before and seen many players. My favourite has to be John Higgins.

I like darts and my favourites are James Wade Gary Anderson and Simon Whitlock, I do also have a soft spot for Dave Chisnall!

Love watching the snooker and played regularly for a local club (at a mediocre standard).
I watch the main golf events & play a little, midhandicapper.
Watch a bit iof darts & went to Ally Pally, awesome atmosphere.
Go to Trent Bridge and watch Notts play when work allows, mainly 20/20 now, as well as seeing England play there.
My lads moved to Vancover so taken an interest in watching the Canucks Ice hockey as well as watching the Whitecaps, great win for them this week.
Used to go horseracing regular, Uttoxeter, Ripon, Thirsk, Doncaster, York etc as well as our local course Market Rasen.
Can't get on with rugby, tennis or Grand Prix.

Interesting Fillipe. I done skiing once but on a dry slope in high Wycombe. Needed more balance than I initially thought .

Where do you go to ski in the winter?.

French Alps is our preferred location. We love the area around Les Gets, Morzine and Avoriaz in the Portes D Soleil. But we are also quite fond of the Haute Savoie region.

I cycle, slowly. Not really a sport for me more a hobby, an expensive hobby at that. I also used to fish purely for pleasure because I was crap at it.

Sports I'm interested in nowadays are baseball, American Football and I really like watching pro cycle races on the telly. Not a rugby fan at all though I can at least watch League. Will occasionally watch cricket when it's on and I like to watch the golf majors.

Football, baseball (Chicago White Sox) and snooker.

Cricket - Played a bit of local league for a few years
American Football - Played briefly for the team in Doncaster and have only missed 2 years of the London games, I make sure I attend 1 a year and am a huge Chicago Bears fan, managing to get a ticket for the game at the Spurs ground in 2019

i bet thats lovely, would you recommend it for somoene who hasnt Skiied before but would like too

The only other sport I’m interested in watching is F1. I quite like it compared to supporting town, it’s not the case for all F1 fans but I find season by season and race by race I’m completely flexible in which teams and drivers I support. It’s a completely different experience when you can switch up who you support based on which team a driver moves to or how they qualified. I’m really hoping Russel manages to finally score some points in the Williams and also taken a bit of a liking to Lance Stroll and therefore Aston Martin.

Not all races are great and it has been drearily predictable for some time, but individually rather than over the course of the season there’s been some incredible races recently. It’s definitely not a sport you can easily dip into though. You need to understand the rules, the back stories and histories etc to ‘get it’. Drive to survive on Netflix is actually really good for this, albeit hammed up. It’s also one of those things where I’ve just been watching it since 1996 so it’s habit now...but like town.


Participatory, running and 5 a side, but running first and foremost.

Absolutely recommend it for beginners yes. Morzine is a great resort with loads going on in the village, from super bars to great restaurants.

Plenty of great beginners ski area with ah abundance of green and blue runs.

They have an excellent ESF ski school there. My recommendation for beginners is to always book your lessons for AM, meaning then that after lunch you can hit the slopes and ski the afternoons at your own leisure and pace.

Morzine is ideally located about 30-40 minutes from Geneva airport, and there are an abundance of ski buses that travel from the airport to the resorts. If you are in a decent group though I would recommend a great minibus shuttle firm called Skidy Gonzales

Take the plunge Hagrid and go for it mate. I guarantee that you will get the ski bug. If our family had to choose between a summer holiday or a ski holiday, it would be skiing every time. You are never too old to start either matey.

Top tip though: Never eat yellow snow
