Have done a lot of orienteering and would like to get back into that.

Cricket and football through school and local clubs via friend.
Orienteering and boxing in the Army.
Martial arts through my mother!

I play Mornington Crescent.

Perhaps we can set up a separate thread if there is enough interest?

[thepercy]

Do you use field hockey shoes? If so, what brand and where do you get them?

I wear turf shoes, the ones rubber nubs on the sole. I believe they are Diadora Capitanos. I where then on grass and turf, for FH and Rugby, except in the muddiest conditions.

 

[L'irlandais]

Starting with swimming/lifesaving growing up in a coastal town. Judo from a young age, until Green belt lost as i moved up an age category (from U15s I think) thought this entirely unfair and so switched to Rugby for five years. Which even more unfairly saw me barred from Gaelibc Sports facilities in my village. Orienteering/ cross country running at secondary school. Sea fishing since childhood with a little sailing at Cowes, while in Hampshire. Cycling since for ever, but more so since coming to France.
