Different strokes

WILD swimming and fishing are among the top five hobbies that we want to start this year.

More than 80% of those polled by selkieswim.com said they already have a hobby, with most in the health and fitness category.

Running topped the list of activities to try in 2019, followed by learning a new skill, singing, wild swimming and fishing.

The main reason people gave for not already starting their new hobby was the need to buy the gear.

Personal development and building confidence were cited as the top two reasons for taking up an activity.
