It’s winter at the moment, which can make living by the sea pretty inconvenient. As this is Britain and not Marbella or Rio De Janeiro, outside activities are pretty limited. It’s freezing, wet and that relaxing Summer sea breeze? It’s grown up and it hates everyone.
As a result, things can get pretty boring for the next couple months, and it won’t let up till Spring time. If you can’t take another night of watching substandard Netflix originals, then read on for a few indoor activities you can enjoy without braving the cold.
Indoor Climbing/Bouldering
Are you an outdoorsy type but hate the cold? Or do you want to get some exercise but want something a little more exciting than working out? If either of those questions apply, then indoor Rock Climbing is the perfect new hobby to get you through the depressing winter days.
There are multiple indoor climbing locations around Brighton, with various different difficulty climbing walls to get stuck into. Does all that tedious and uncomfortable safety gear put you off? Then why not try Bouldering? Bouldering is a less intense version of a climbing wall, but without any safety gear, meaning you’re good to go the minute you turn up.
There are safety mats to protect you should you fall, so there’s no danger in hurting yourself, and it’s not a hazardous height to fall from with the added protection of the safety mat, making it perfect for people interested in rock climbing and starting out, or if you’ve done rock climbing and felt to restricted in movement by all the harnesses.

Money perhaps a bigger issue? Looking for something more personally fulfilling. Well, no matter your age, occupation or situation there’s nothing stopping you from picking up a new hobby. With many opting to use lock down as a chance to learn new things, there’s no reason you can’t do the same while you spend much of your time at home.
Whether it’s an instrument, something artistic/creative or a practical skill, there’s no better way to cure your boredom AND increase your self-esteem. The right hobby can change your life, and what better time to learn it than when there’s no reason to be outside?
