Welsh sport activity
Re: Welsh sport activity

That is actually very interesting. Thanks for finding.

Re: Welsh sport activity

I thought so Rhodri. Whilst I personally would not have defined walking as sport (although my Dad used to enter walking race's all the time when I was younger), I was surprised that approximately one third of both sexes regularly take part in what I assume is walking for the sake of exercise - as opposed to walking to the shops.

good stuff really

Re: Welsh sport activity

One thing we do generally tend to do well in Wales is participation in sport, mostly at an amateur level. So it doesn't necessarily mean we have a conveyor belt of top-class talent.

I can think of several dozen sports clubs in the Bridgend area alone.

Walking races fascinate me, don't get me wrong those chaps go at a fair lick and I understand that there is a skill and technique but I mean how do you find out you are any good at it!

Don't go to the toilet for a few days, take a train to the outskirts of town, then walk back.
