Are you new to adventure sports? Looking for beginner-friendly activities to get started?
SENDY recommends you consider these:
Hiking: an excellent way to explore nature and get some exercise. Start with local, easy, well-marked trails, and gradually progress to more challenging routes as your fitness and confidence improve. Try using a hiking app like AllTrails. Check the weather, dress accordingly, and let someone know your plan.
Cycling, whether road biking or mountain biking, cycling is a great way to enjoy the outdoors. Start with flat or gently rolling terrain if you're new to cycling, and gradually work your way up.
Trail Running: if you enjoy running, try trail running on scenic trails in parks or nature reserves. The varied terrain adds excitement to your runs, and you'll feel more connected to nature.

Kayaking is beginner-friendly, and you can start on calm lakes or slow-moving rivers. Recreational kayaks are stable and easy to paddle, making them ideal for newcomers.

Stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) is a relaxing and beginner-friendly water activity. You can paddle on lakes, rivers, or even coastal areas with calm waters.
Indoor Rock Climbing: climbing gyms provide a safe, controlled environment for beginners to learn the basics. It's an excellent way to build strength and confidence before transitioning to outdoor climbing. A great idea when the weather outside is rough.
Remember to start slowly, prioritize safety, and take lessons if you're trying a new activity. With time and practice, you'll develop skills and gain confidence to tackle more adventurous outdoor pursuits.
