More than half of Britons have never taken part in outdoor activities, with 10 per cent saying they spend most of their time sitting on the sofa. The research showed 59 per cent of those questioned had never tried even the most basic activities due to 'never having been given the chance' and 33 per cent 'have been too scared to try'. Four out of ten people have never ridden a horse or swum in natural water, according to a new survey about Britain's outdoor activities.
