Advantages: A literal and legitimate high
Disadvantages: Returning to earth

I used to be afraid of heights. To cope as a child I would practice my own aversion therapy, climbing trees with my chums as a way to prove myself to myself. Over time the therapy took hold and I came to enjoy the exhiliration of height - graduating from trees to hilltops offering miles distant vistas. And even in the mundanity of daily life a simple pleasure could be exacted - a pleasure I had always thought could only be achieved with motor vehicular ...
...Driving through one such concrete edifice near my home I noticed cycle racks on the bottom level and in an instant the germ of an idea blossomed. Two days later I had a spare hour and was heading out on the bike. And I knew exactly where I was going. It's funny the simple things that give rise to such excitement. In five minutes I was at the entrance to the car park, checking behind me to make sure there were no cars I would hold up on my ascent, ... Read review

Advantages: Legacy, sport for all
Disadvantages: When politicians get involved, no legacy to stand on

...far more innocent time, where sport was really about enjoyment not just money and power plays. ] There's a real danger of bandwagon jumping at the next Olympics and even on the back of another outstanding performance by Team GB at the last Olympics - but I just hope that somewhere along the line whoever is in charge gets the message that sports and politics should never be mixed.....

Advantages: keeps you fit, social, strategic
Disadvantages: knee strain

Squash is a very tactical game involving two players (or four for doubles) in a four wall hall holding raquets, the aim is to hit the rubber ball against the opposite wall, in between the two lines repeatedly, scoring points. The court is marked with two serving boxes. Which ball used in the game defers the speed and bounce of the ball, as they are colour coded. this varies the game difficulty and experience level. Squash is a very demanding game ...
...I tend to play squash as it socialises me with people and keeps you very fit in a fun way. I also like tennis but i believe squash pushes me to the next level as it is more challenging and a worlwide sport. The only bad points is the strain caused on the knees for old or younger players, but proper shoes etc should help this matter. I would recommend anyone to have a go at squash but be warned its hard work and a small level of fitness is needed. ... Read review
