    I would love to do hill walking as the local ramblers club has some right sorts in it but my ankle is in bits so I have to walk on level ground

    Re: Hobbies outside of football now we are starved of it

    Walking in the Peak District
    Reading
    Films and TV dramas
    Writing (very slowly) my blockbuster novel
    Twanging on a cheap ukulele in the attic

    We had almost booked a 16 day walking trip around the Pembrokeshire coast in May but the possibility of B&Bs closing and insurance uncertainty means we won't go ahead now. It would have been our 6th national trail. Will settle for day walks in the Pennines instead.

    I used to live in bradford , walk out the back door and the scenery was stunning , haworth , where they filmed the gorgeous jenny agutter in the railway children , is great

    I'll bet a tenner to a battered sausage you were familiar with Ebor Lane, Haworth.

    It's good to see that there is more to us than just football

    Re: Hobbies outside of football now we are starved of it

    I do a bit of rock climbing, leathercrafting (fancy wallets and accessories mostly), gaming, fishing (not been for ages) and scoffing chocolate.

    I keep bees (7 or so hives) but most of the beekeeping work is May-August. Still, plenty little jobs to do.

    Otherwise - running, reading. TBH the gap that opened up by not watching / listening to sport is mostly taken up so far with household jobs that I've not got round to hitherto.

    Playing football (3 times a week)

    Going out on my bike (not on the roads but not mad mountain biking either - we are lucky to have loads of country tracks nearby)

    Track days (cars)

    Going to gigs (Nada Surf last Thursday) as I’m lucky to live near London so there is always someone to see.

    Managing my son’s football team (er, for the moment anyway....)

    So still heavily football related 🙈

    Where do you go for your track days, and do you use your own car?

    Household projects. I'll probably paint the garage door.

    I used to use my road car until I took it to Spa (Francorchamps not the local supermarket) and it needed a fortune spending on it afterwards (and I didn’t even crash it). So I bought a Boxster just for track days.

    So far I’ve done the Nurburgring, Nordschleife (twice), Spa (twice), Goodwood (loads of times), Silverstone, Snetterton, Bedford, and Rockingham. I’ve also done the Top Gear circuit but that was really dull.

    This year I plan to do Thruxton, Castle Combe
    and the Brands GP circuit but who knows how likely that is?

    Then I should start on the tracks further north.
