And apparently some kinds of exercise are even better than swimming.
Seriously, norrahe, I'd be interested in hiking once the days get longer maybe in Derbyshire or somewhere with interesting scenery. I even bought a pair of Timberland boots for it, although I haven't tried wearing them yet.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

I will let you know, though my walking will be limited to the local lakes till the weather improves, as for timberlands, hmm, you might be better off heading to your local outdoor shop and getting a good pair of boots that have a decent grip, good support and are gore tex/waterproofed.Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostThey say swimming is better than running.
