One caveat is that for me this hasn't led to deep friendships. It has led to interesting conversations and the ability to get out of the house more. If I was at a different stage of life I could make closer friends, as there are beers and meals after a lot of hike, but I typically want to get home to see the family.
Good luck, if you're interested in the outdoors message me and I can suggest some good clubs.
PS: As your kids get older you may find you want to do more with them and it's hard to find time for others. For me that means I struggle to make time for clubs as I love backpacking, skiing and hiking with my family so much.

Well actually, I'm thinking thats exactly why he's asking.
As kids get older they start to have lives of their own and you do wind up spending less time with them.
Further, it seems like time is something he has, he just wants to spend some of it differently. Which is fair.
The thing of it is...you cant spend all your time with your wife and kids, it develops into a bubble without external input and nothing new happens. It makes perfect sense.
