This is a game of speed and skill played with teams of humans and regulation 175g flying discs. The history of Ultimate goes back some 25 years now, the first ever match being played between the same two american colleges that staged the first ever American Football match 103 years to the day later.

The game is cheap and easy to play with no referees

Disc Golf

If you find Ultimate to much running you might want to try Disc Golf (he said at the risk of offending all disc golfers!!). You need accuracy and strength to play this (so that rules me out). Doc in Washington has a Disc Golf page which lists golf courses in different countries around the world.
