Lockdown lift was the launchpad for Inverleith Walking Hockey for the over-50s which is now going from strength to strength with players of all levels taking part in mixed games.
The venue is The University of Edinburgh Playing Fields at Peffermill every Tuesday from noon for an hour, including water breaks and organiser Neil Sinclair said the activity started in June 2021 when lockdown was opened up.
Sinclair had been playing walking football for a number of years before that and he used the template to transfer to offer walking hockey.
Sinclair said that anybody interested should email inverleithwalkinghockey@ hotmail.com but he is on site at Peffermill from 11.30am every Tuesday.
