Before I came to England, I watched If You Are the One. Every time there are foreign male guests from China, there are scenes of them participating in various outdoor sports in the VCR. Endless green grass, bright and thorough sky, clean and comfortable environment, every scene makes me envy. At the same time, I also wonder whether these male guests want to highlight their unique hobbies or to convey their healthy lifestyle to people. Who is bored to run outdoors every day? ...
After coming to England, I found life abroad really boring! ! ! The environment is really good, boring+good environment = going to exercise! What a ridiculous conclusion! Outdoor sports can make you exercise physically and mentally, improve your immunity, get close to nature, relax people and so on. Don't complain that life in England is boring. Let's do some sports and see what outdoor sports are suitable for you in Britain:
1. Operation
When Bunley came to England, he was most influenced by the British people. He insisted on running outdoors, from the first 1000 to 3000 to 5000 to 10000 meters, and then he went to participate in the Exmoor National Park Marathon, which is the most difficult race in Britain. Almost half of the 10 km race was on foot, but it inspired me to keep running outdoors for more than a year.
Very suitable for outdoor long-distance running in Britain. The air in the suburbs is clear and pleasant. After running, you sweat like rain and feel happy. Long-distance running brings you benefits far beyond your imagination, such as enhancing immunity, increasing vital capacity, exercising heart muscle, losing weight, shaping women and so on, which is why Bonley has been encouraging everyone to go outdoors in his blog.
In Britain, there are many different kinds of marathons every year, the most famous of which is Run To The Beat held in London. /kloc-There are many live music performance places on both sides of the 0/3 mile track, which are designed to cheer up the contestants and make them concentrate on the game. This activity is not only an interesting competition, but also a severe physical challenge, and it is also a music festival. There are also many running clubs in small towns in Britain. They will hold running competitions regularly, and they will also hold some group running activities at ordinary times, so that they can meet new friends and keep fit, killing two birds with one stone. Participate in the competition, not for the competition, just give yourself a reason to encourage yourself to keep exercising.
go on foot
The British Outdoor Industry Association conducted a survey of 1000 consumers. Among all outdoor sports, 965,438+0% respondents chose hiking as their favorite outdoor sports. As we all know, Britain is a big country with beautiful environment and fresh air. Mountains, rivers, forests and parks are everywhere, and spacious and beautiful pedestrian trails are the best places for hiking. People in the city can walk along parks and rivers. Many rivers in Britain are man-made canals with a long history, and there are spacious sidewalks along the river for tourists to ride, run and hike. Suburbs can go directly into the English countryside, embrace nature and relax.
In addition, there are fifteen beautiful national forest parks in Britain, which are absolutely the best choice for your hiking. For example, Snowdonia National Park in Wales is especially suitable for hikers. You can walk along a 2400-kilometer-long pedestrian trail, through dense forests and fertile farmland, along the coast and lakes, and through the rolling mountains, and enjoy the shocking scenery all the way. There is also Ur Swart in the Lake District, which is also a place where hikers are concentrated.
climb mountains
On the whole, the terrain of Britain is relatively flat, and the mountains are mainly concentrated in northern England and Scotland. These areas, with broad vision and beautiful environment, are a paradise for mountain climbers. Let's talk about the lake area first. Bunley goes to the lake twice a year, once to climb the most sinister Helvellyn, and once to climb Skiddaw, the peak of England and Scotland. Every time he climbs to the top of the mountain and then goes down, it takes him a whole day. After reaching the top of the mountain, the spectacular scenery in front of you is shocking. Snowden, the highest peak in Wales, is called the most challenging mountain in Britain, attracting countless outdoor enthusiasts to challenge every year.
If you want a higher level of challenge, you can go to Cairngorms National Park in Scotland in summer, where there are four of the five highest peaks in Scotland. There is a large barren but beautiful highland, 600 meters above sea level, which is more like the North Pole than the lowlands in England. People who are good at climbing can walk or climb to higher places, or they can choose more challenging and climb vertical rocks. Winter is the first choice for climbing icebergs (please make a detour for non-professional players). Because the climate in mountainous areas has not changed much, you can climb mountains and camp here all year round. It also provides guides for enthusiastic but inexperienced climbers.
cycling
In Britain, bicycles are not only a tool for people to walk instead of walking, but also a fitness program for many young people. The British government encourages green travel, and many large companies give their employees a benefit about cycling to work, such as buying bicycles tax-free. Bicycles in Britain are divided into two types: roads and mountains. Spacious and quiet country roads provide a good venue for road bikes, while mountainous areas with changeable terrain bring challenges to mountain bikes. Bunley is also a cyclist, who often goes far away by bike on weekends or participates in some cycling activities.
Here, I would like to recommend North Moore National Park, where there are fewer motor vehicles and fewer tourists. This is the absolute holy land for cycling. Mountain roads, forests, swamps and railway subgrade run through the park, and you have many opportunities to experience the desolate beauty of the northern Moore swamp. But remember to bring a paper map before we leave. The forest park is deserted, and the cell phone has no signal, so it is easy to get lost. At that time, we were lost in the center of the forest park, almost desperate, and we were greeted by a group of professional cycling enthusiasts. Under their command and leadership, we rode out of the park smoothly.
row
Britain is a country composed of water, with oceans, lakes, swamps and a large number of inland waterways, which creates a unique geographical advantage for water sports. Whether it is a small wooden boat, kayak or sailboat, or even a big boat that is mainly at home, it can be seen almost everywhere and has become the representative of many British people's leisurely life.
For example, what you must not miss in the lake area is boating on Lake Windermere and enjoying the beautiful scenery in the lake; Cambridge has always been a classic tourism project in Cambridge, boating on the river and reading Cambridge's past years; There is also a representative broz National Park. For centuries, boating has been the essence of local culture and an important project for tourists. There are also many small lakes with their own sailing clubs, which can also let you experience different stimuli and laws.
go fishing
The antonym of boating is fishing. How can fishing be called sports? At most, it is a self-cultivation outdoor experience. Britain has strict control over fishing, such as fishing license (you can go to the post office), fishing in designated open rivers, and the number of fish you can take away. There are too many rules in the river. Let's go fishing in the lake. I recommend Lomond Lake in Scotland, which is the largest freshwater lake in Britain. Rome Park with the same name includes Lake Rome and many other lakes and rivers. The water here is cold and clear, and most of them are rich in salmon, sea trout, rainbow trout and river trout. Some lakes are also rich in brown salmon and other kinds of fish.
If you want to fish in the river near your home, you can check whether the river is open to the public on the local government website to avoid being complained.
7.skiing
This seasonal outdoor project must not be missed. As a ski resort, Scotland is the best choice. Famous ski resorts are a paradise for skiers. For beginners, Snow Factor, an indoor artificial ski resort, is the first choice. For advanced players or skiers, the Nevis Mountains, Glencoe, Glencie and Cairngorm are all good ski resorts.
8. Outdoor football
As the hometown of football, in addition to watching football, going outdoors to participate in various football matches is also an outdoor project that needs to be experienced when coming to the UK. There are large areas of green land in Britain, many of which are enclosed as natural football fields. Except for some regular competitions, almost all these venues are open to the public. Go out with a group of friends on weekends and enjoy the happiness brought by the natural lawn.
9. Golf
Compared with outdoor football, golf is an upgraded version, and it also needs wide grass, which is much more demanding. Don't think that golf is a sport for the nobility and the rich. In Britain, golf courses are everywhere, and most middle-class families have the conditions and elegance to swing. In Britain, golf is no longer limited to aristocratic leisure and business negotiations, but an outdoor sport. Golf courses are usually located in forests, parks or seaside with beautiful scenery and quiet environment, close to nature and basically open to the public. You just need to make an appointment by phone before you go.
10. gliding
You can try this exciting and adventurous outdoor activity for several years. It is recommended to some relatively empty parks in hilly areas, such as Southern Hills National Park, where there are continuous mountains, open plains and beautiful coastlines. There are many places for gliding in and around the park, so it is the most popular gliding and skydiving attraction in Britain. People who try this sport for the first time can glide in pairs under the guidance of certified coaches and experience the pleasure of gliding.
Finally, I hope everyone will keep exercising and have a great figure!
