Play a round of disc golf
A friend has invited you to do this with them.
Disc golf borrows the shape of golf, with tees, fairways and a par for each hole, but you throw a flying disc at a metal basket instead of hitting a ball at a cup. Courses are laid out through parks and woodland, so a round is also a decent walk.
