When Andy gets bored, he knows he needs to get some exercise. His favourite way to exercise is to go on a hike up into the mountains in the south-east of the city. He often invites his friend Tommy to go with him. Andy and Tommy usually hike on Sunday mornings from eight o’clock to eleven and they like taking different ways each time. The boys are careful because they want to be safe. If either boy would have an accident, they could use their mobile phones to call for help. For them it is a pleasure to have the fresh air and hear the birds sing. They can relax on a mountain! It is great exercise and fun to be with your friend too.
