Gray mare's tail just a few miles outside Moffat. The cafe in moffat does a really good homemade burger. Perfect place to chill for some post hike conversation and future plans discussion with friends.

I prefer heading north for my exploration of Scotland but my friends girlfriend stays local and really wanted us all down to check out some of the local hiking trails. In a few weeks time were all planning on chipping in some cash money to rent out a log cabin for a few days then on the last day conquering the ben lomond mountain.

Hiking is a really good hobby and i fully recommend everyone find some local hills and get your boots on!

I really enjoy going to the most awesome environments in my reach. I felt like i was in lord of the rings climbing mount doom at the end of it, Couldn't see two feet in front of me.

Then at the very top we stumbled across this uncanny loch.

I look forward to many more years of life and the opportunities to explore more of this awesome land.

Gym pricing fucking sucks.

How can they want between £50-£65 just to work out?

There are cheaper ones near me, but the reviews are absolutely terrible, or the money you save is the money you'd end up paying in parking every time you go!

Ye Im registered at the uni gym which is £160 for 12 months which isnt too bad compared to the local Virgin Active which was £60 per month alone. Problem is the uni gym is ridiculously busy, its almost unusable at any time apart from the morning :/

This is my problem, there's The Gym Group and all the reviews are saying it is unusable and you might as well just work out at home - That's £16 per month. Fitness First is about 7 miles away from my house, £50 per month. Virgin Active is like a five minutes walk from my house and ridiculously priced - Yeah, I can get the 18-25 saving but it's still ridiculously expensive.

Work gym is free but it's always busy except for early mornings (6am) and evenings (6pm to late). Used to go in the evenings but ever since work got busy I either never get the chance to or I just want to go home and relax. I have been casually walking around Glasgow for about 30 minutes ever other day and taking the stairs to my flat every other day to compensate for missed gym sessions but I really need to pull my finger out.

Out in Laaaahndon with the mrs for our anniversary today, doing a bit of shopping and drinking and canoodling, all very nice. Can any of London GAF recommend a good place to go for dinner? Was thinking the steakhouses that Musha mentioned.

£20 to register at my Gym and £4.50 for each session. Also, it's run by the council so I can use other council run gyms in the county. Smells like shit on Wednesday for some reason.

I was quite a fan of Planet Hollywood when I went with ex misses, there's a huge steakhouse just by Leicester Square, you can't really miss it.

I would start running around here, but I would feel like a complete lemon running around at so early in the morning or at night. I do walk quite a bit, but not enough to feel fit and healthy.

I could do some of the P90 stuff at home, but the reason I wanted a gym was to get out of the house so I'm not feeling cooped up all night after work.

Well, I'm not LondonGAF anymore but I can recommend a few nice places.

The Hawksmoor, near Seven Dials, does excellent steak. The sides are awesome as well: chips cooked in beef dripping, or triple fried. This place ain't cheap though, and it's downstairs in a cellar so maybe not the best place to eat on a nice sunny day like today.

Rules restaurant, near Covent Garden. It's one of the oldest restaurants in London, dating back to the 18th century. This place does all sorts of fancy meats like game and deer and stuff, and it changes based on the season. There will almost definitely be something on the menu that you've never tried before.

L'Autre Pied, in Marylebone. Ooh la la, Michelin-starred restaurant with a nice 7 course tasting menu. Recommended with the wine flute.

You also can't go wrong with Nando's!

Sounds like you need some budget gyms to move in and price them down.

In Manchester the big gyms used to be £50pm on a contract, since the "register online / £15pm" cheap and cheerful gyms moved in they have gone down to £29pm no contract...

There are a few budget gyms just none very local. There are three within a five mile drive to me, virgin active, panther gym and the gym. There are a few small ones available that are pay as you go, but even that is ridiculous.

Nah, you shouldn't prevent yourself from exercising because people will think you're weird. Headphones my man! Screw the haters.

Also, finally stumbled onto the tattoo thread. That is one talented ink artist you got working on your arm Musha. Looks really good!

Where exactly in London are you looking to eat?

Gym wise, I am a member of 2. Work one is 37 a month and the other is 5 pounds every time or 40 pounds a month. Usually do the pay as you go since I go to the work gym more.

Hehe, yeah I should've made it clear: those are excellent places to go when someone else is paying! ;-)

Just got back from a day dicking about with the work camera. My co-worker stood in for a model on the Barbican, and we went to a nearby lake for some footage of swans and ducks and dogs. Lovely afternoon.

Going to crack open a bottle of scrumpy now.

I'd avoid peak hours though.

This is my jam? A site for sharing one song? What's the difference between that and just posting a link to it on YouTube?

I clearly missed a trick by not including Wagamama in the OP.

Why would anyone use Twitter instead of Facebook?

Both serve different functions.

This Is My Jam automatically creates an up to date playlist out of all your friends' jams.

Sometimes, specific-purpose utilities are superior to multi-purpose.
