Snooker. League level. Had 113 break. Played county level at pool but didn't enjoy it as much as snooker. Life is funny because now my eyesight has deteriorated I won't play snooker anymore especially after not looking at a cue for 15 years (life and stuff). So now I am about 3 months into a bit of a pool comeback lol. Doing ok at local level, Might commit a bit more time to it and have a real go for the new season which i think starts in August. Get's me and a few friends out the house which post covid/lockdowns and stuff became a thing of the past, so it is all in a good cause lol,
 
In my days . Rugby .HK 7's and Rosslyn park etc .School was famous for Rugby .County Swimming (backstroke) Then Cross country Mountain biking and climbing . Cycled twice across North Africa, Down most of the Nile where possible and around Iceland . Now.... I will still go up Snowdon and the Black Mountains given the chance !

I used to cycle a couple of hundred miles a week, but never tried it in a river.

You pedal really fast , the tread on the tyres forms enough traction like a peddle steamer ! In Iceland I had to carry the bike through chest high waters , freezing. Some times if too dangerous , would wait for a big 4 x4 to come along and give me a ride.But that could mean hours wait .Iceland then was a lot quieter , Now its ruined by tourism
 
Swimming, cycling, running, weights and core workouts. 5 times a week. Pulse of 55 and a few (small) muscles. Gave up kick boxing 1 year ago.

That was 2 months ago. Now I have a bad back and enjoy the occasional slow walk and 3 x 10 reps of lifting a pint of guiness. Funny thing is I seem to have more energy now I'm not working out, plus I get to drink beer so am happy :)
