For me, I used to be into my Trackdays. Had a caged out 205Mi16 track car which I loved then had a Mitsubishi Evo9 which I tracked too. Awesome days out but at the moment I don't have a toy to feed my adrenaline rush as ploughed a load of capital into my business.

What about you lot? What tickles your fancies?

 
I dont do the adrenaline rush hobbies, only more relaxing stuff like playing the piano and music song creation using Reason on the computer if any knows what that is, also go fishing which used to great on the River Severn and Teme but now that they are no good since all the floods over the last few years then its mainly on carp pools and am hoping to catch my first catfish this year. Also like beachcasting and fishing off the rocks, perhaps Admin might know Ogmore near Porthcawl where I go cod fishing during the winter?

Perhaps the most exciting stuff is my mate competes in motocross and go and watch him sometimes. Love it when you can feel the vibration through the ground when all the bikes are ready for the off!

forgot to say also like hill walking, recently been to Brecon Beacons and walked up Pen Y Fan, Corn Du and Cribyn. unfortunately thats as far as I could get as Fan Y Big was too far for my weary legs!

Maybe next time i will get there. Thinking about it perhaps I should move to South Wales as the beach fishing is great, love Brecons and Black Mountains, the Mrs loves shopping in Cardiff, clean air and friendly people what more can anybody want!

 
I used to race (beach racing) like speedway but on sand. My passion was marine aquariums, I once had 6 tanks on the go at once, I did a lecture once for DEPRA at Chester zoo, soft corals being my expertise. My only other real time hobby is my dogs, I have 5, and all are working dogs who need proper exercise.Its harder to work dogs now than ever, but I will never go hungry should I hit hard times.

 
I vomited into my face mask when I dived more than 25m, so I guess its takes some steel to go deeper.Funnily I can snorkel all day long without any effects.

 
Nice...I once serviced a blokes regulator, he said it wasn't breathing properly. Took it to pieces and extracted some pieces of bacon, which was nice!... :coat
did you put it on a sandwhich with red sauce

Wood turning. My thing at the moment is pens, they're easy and quick to do.

Golf

Wife and 4 kids (not really a hobby, more of a chore sometimes)

 
good effort s60! I had a mk1 golf with a 2ltr 16v on bike carbs, good power to weight ratio, 190bhp weighing 800kg. Never took it on a track day unfortunatley. Will be getting vw camper van very soon. Always wanted one.

My day to day hobbies are golf and skiing, seriously got the skiing bug, just a pain as I only get away once a year for it.

What is it with electricians and bacon? I've just registered to go to elex11 and I'm told I will get a t shirt and bacon roll on the day and when I was in my local Denmans on wednesday they were offering a bacon butty if you went in there on friday morning subject to availability.. Sadly I was elsewhere..

 
My GSXR600 is my favourite hobby when the sun is out. Rugby is like a religion in my house too! Sadly, with the business being in its first year, spare time is a luxury at the moment.

 
Coarse fishing, scuba, skiing, cricket, playing sax in band and my SV650 - sometime I even fit in some work!!

cant afford to do a weekender and the moment but that is my favourite

 
I normally play rugby on a saturday when its season time, then recover from the knocks on a sunday. Other than that, if I'm not being dragged around shopping I'm playing on my xbox(never to old)
