Weekend Ideas

Hi,

My boyfriend and I see each other every Sunday. I've noticed that now its winter we don't really do much! We usually just stay in and watch TV. We're trying to save a bit of money and both a bit fed up of walks in the cold so got into a bit of a rut!

Looking for ideas and inspiration of things we can do?

Many thanks,

Leanne

  • Some good indoor climbing walls in South Yorkshire (Awesome Walls in Sheffield being one I can think of). Do an evening Bylay Course, and then spend Sinday afternoon tied together.
    Okay it might cost £8 each a week, but you'll get fit, and then come summer you might be able to go and do a bit outside in the hills.
