Play
These are a few of the things we most enjoy doing in our free time. You can also see lots of these activities in the Diary & Photos page.
Mountain Biking - The nearby Peak District, Lake District and Snowdonia National Parks make this an accessible and fun way to keep fit and experience the great outdoors.
Music/Songwriting - ...is how Steve escapes when it's too wet/cold/miserable to go riding.
Comedy - Sadly the longstanding Buzz Club closed down after 14 years of bringing comedy to Manchester. But we we still enjoy a good laugh elsewhere.
Manchester United - Steve and his friend Tony have Season Tickets at Manchester United, but as Tony lives in London, Hayley goes to most games in his place.
Snowboarding - Steve has done this a few times but Hayley tried it for the first time on our trip to Livigno, Italy (March 2004).
Theatre, Opera, Classical Music - Manchester has a number of good venues including the excellent Royal Exchange Theatre, Lowry Centre and Bridgewater Hall.
Movies - When all else fails there's usually a good movie on FilmFour or at our local cinema.
