Hi all

I'm trying to encourage myself to live a more 'outdoorsy' lifestyle and I came across this site when searching for ideas! Recently taken up hill walking but 10 miles is enough for me in one day! Also tried a few mountain biking trails near Gortin where I live but I spent as much time pushing the bike than cycling!

Interested in the organised meets but what exactly do you do? Do you need to be super fit? I'm not unfit I exercise about 4 - 5 times a week but getting bored of the gym on sunny days!

Welcome Amy.

There's no shortage of beer bellies around this forum so super fit is definitely not a necessity ;)

Hi Amy, welcome to the forum. There is a real mixture of people on here at all different fitness levels, and a lot of the recent trips have had an easier/harder option. To be honest if your managing 10 mile walks and at the gym a few times a week you will have no problems. Hope to meet you on a trip soon!

Hi Amy,

Welcome to the forum. 

You dont need to be fit for walking about hills, get yourself out for a few hours every now and then, get the legs used to that uphill action, and its grand !
