Outdoor
Activities
Outdoor pursuit can be
considered to be a group of sports and activities which depend on the great
outdoors, such as cross country, trekking, canoeing, kayaking, climbing,
caving, and arguably broader groups such as water sports and snow sports.
Outdoor sports include nature in the activities.
Many people enjoy
outdoor sport as a bit of fun, an adrenaline rush, or an escape from reality.
Beside that outdoor sports are also frequently used as an extremely effective
medium in education and team building. It is this ethos that has given rise to
links with young people, such as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and PGL, and
large numbers of outdoor education centres being established, as the stress on
the importance of a balanced and widespread education continues to grow.
Depending on the persons’ desired level of adrenaline, outdoors can be
considered a type of hobby.
As interest increases,
so has the rise of commercial outdoor pursuits, with outdoor kit stores opening
up in large numbers and thriving, as well as outdoor pursuits journalism and
magazines, both on paper and online.
The increased
accessibility of outdoor pursuits resources has been the source of some
negative publicity over the years also, with complaints of destroying the
landscape. A widely-seen example is the destruction of hillsides as footpaths
are eroded by excessive numbers of visitors.
