Sports and outdoor pursuits
No matter where you are in Britain, you're never far from a
stretch of countryside where you can lose the crowds on a brief
walk or cycle ride. For tougher specimens, there are numerous
long-distance footpaths, as well as opportunities for the more
extreme disciplines of rock climbing and potholing (caving). On the
coast and many of the inland lakes you can follow the more urbane
pursuits of sailing and windsurfing, and there are plenty of fine
beaches for less structured fresh-air activities or just slobbing
around
