    I've been playing guitar for around 10 years and it's definitely my main hobby. Linked with that are writing and recording my music. Just typical rock riffs really, have it all up here if anyone's interested – http://www.soundclick.com/deepwaterblackout

    I'm also heavily into photography, video production and 3D modelling/animation.

    Music (listening to other peoples, I have no talent myself)
    Walking the poochie
    Taking piccies
    Lifting weights n a wee bit of running

    If I had more time I'd take up Muay Thai again, but can't commit enough to the training

    Photography – everybody's a photographer since the sawn of DSLRs aren't they?

    Watching Rugby – never was any good at playing but I do enjoy watching the welsh regions and Welsh team even when they're bad.

    Geeking – either software projects or building pet projects usually involves researching and maybe buying parts for little projects then moving onto another project before finishing the first. Currently thinking about sending up a weather balloon into near space with a digital camera on board (like many others have done before), previously DIY LED lights etc.

    Cooking – seems to have grown on me in recent years. Enjoy cookery TV programs too.

    Veg growing – bit late getting anything in the ground this year though

    Sitting in the hills waiting to get buzzed – not been in a couple of years now but will probably go again soon

    Golf – pretty much given up now due to being uttlerly shite and needing to play every day to improve even slightly.

    Scuba Diving – just awesome
    Yoga – very relaxing
    Hill Walking – nice to get out and have a walk somewhere really inspiring.
    Reading – always a good book on the boil.
    Cooking – massive fan of Escoffier so getting fatter . . . .
    Wine – a real world of pleasure in a bottle. Which is worrying . . . . .
    And on the adverse side of things – lots of time on this forum 😉

    Enjoy!

    I more or less live and breath biking. I also sleep and work.

    I just love being outdoors; the only outdoor pursuit I haven't tried is dogging!

    Scottish hillwalking and mountaineering (retired from climbing as yet another inept wannabee), bothies including being MO for a nice one, wildlife watching, cycle touring, glen tramping; generally avoiding crowds is my thing. That last thing is just one of the reasons why I dislike trail centres……..

    I surf a lot more than MTBing. Road riding too.

    Other stuff includes snorkelling, yoga, walking the dog and bodyboarding (very rarely nowadays). I'd really like to get into windsurfing but it's just far too expensive

    Over the last (20, eek!) years, kayaking filled most of my spare time. Both white-water:

    and sea-kayaking:

    More recently, moving to a new part of the world has meant I'm now doing more biking than boating, but it also allows for some new winter hobbies. Still learning to snowboard though:
