I'd love to fly a helicopter again and compare how the modern ones are to the old Hiller UH12 and Bell 47s I learnt on.
Get an app called Meet Up and see if there are games around you when lockdown is over.Like to drive a crane again.
Retired 8 yrs ago and I do miss working sometimes.
If not put my footy boots on once more.
Not sure my ACL would like that.Get an app called Meet Up and see if there are games around you when lockdown is over.
There’s a walking football game that happens on the pitch beside my six aside game on a Wednesday and they honestly look like they’re having a great time. Whatever your age group or skill level, throw yourself in and get involved.Not sure my ACL would like that.
My brother plays walking football he’s 66 and loves it .
I might give it a go next season.
All those young 50 somethings walking to fast put me off.
I was never the fastest.
Cricket for me. Not even a game.
just an elongated net session on a bowling machine and then against proper bowlers.
would scratch an itch I have had for a while
A game of Squash. Miss it.
That's the problem.Whilst my batting and bowling might not be as sharp , I don't think they would be the issue ....but my god I'd be a cart horse in the field.
I'm on a WhatsApp group with all my old cricket mates and we we're talking about reforming for a 20 over match against the old club. I'm not sure we would get away with 6 slips and 3 gullys in a 20 over game. ?

At age 48 I came out of cricketing retirement to play for our village club.
Main motivation was to be able to play in the same team as my sons who at 13 & 14 were then playing adult cricket.
However, second game back and went to chase a ball.BANG! sniper on pavilion roof got me , hamstring gone.
Three months later came back again, elder son had left by now for County PL club and younger one was joining another the next season so one last chance.
That bloody sniper was still on duty but he did, at least, go for the other leg.
Do you think the cricketing gods were trying to tell me something?
