    Hi Yogibaby,
    Nope haven't tried either yet- tennis wouldn't be my forte!
    Would be interested in joining the walking club, I've sent an email to find out about upcoming walks. I'll keep you posted.

    I got a reply from the walking club.
    The walks have two grades: grade A walks are between 4 and 6 hours long, grade B are between 3 and 4 hours. There are about 30 members in the club - 5 from Gorey and 1 from Wexford. They meet every sunday in Aughrim and members are advised of the type of walk by text message.
    Everyone is welcome, beginners walks on every second sunday. You can take part in a couple of introductory walks before joining.

    but yes Im sure some of it will be uphill!

    How about a pub crawl, plenty of choice and plenty of exercise in a good cause? If it were me though I'd stick to French's on Main Street and just exercise my arm. :D
