Photography although I've lapsed

Time-lapsed?

Getting quite into sleeping lately.

Fishing, hill walking, back/bikepacking and playing in the woods pretending I'm Ray Mears.

although I've lapsed

I've lost count of the things I've lapsed. Over the years I've been a bit Pokemon with hobbies, I'll try anything but lack the ability / attention to keep them up for long.

I've variously been into power kiting, field archery, rock climbing, running, skydiving, photography, I could go on. I still occasionally run or fell walk or wild camp but these days my hobbies are mostly TV / movies / Xbox / reading and other wildly exciting things.

Out of the lot of that, I miss climbing the most. I really should do something about that.

I used to be into mountain bikes, but that lapsed as well......

Don't do cycling any more (although I'm tempted to explore the area we've just moved to on my bike) but love

Botany
Birdwatching
Walking
Foreign travel when time and money permit
Exploring WWI and WWII sites and cemeteries
Aeroplanes
Cars
Steam railways (preferably narrow gauge and on the continent)
Good food and wine

Brew beer
Catch/kill (and usually eat) a variety of Britain's tasty wildlife
Wakeboard
Ski
Sail
Watch binners while he sleeps

(Julian, let me know when....! Looks like some good riding around there!)

other?

thinking about cycling.
thinking about future cycling holidays.
thinking about bike upgrades I can buy.
planning future bike routes.
dicussing cycling with other cyclists.

Watch binners while he sleeps

He's so peaceful isn't he?

@CFH - I'm around from next week as my contract finishes on Friday! I'll be rather slow as I haven't cycled for ages though...

Also, I'm in your 'hood on Monday and at a loose end for a few hours - coffee?

Hard to miss...

Will email.

Monday good for now! I can move my office to the crossroads for a while easily! 🙂

Swimming. Old bones and hypermobility lead to many aches and pains, kept at bay by 3- 5k a week of front crawl in the pool. Clears the mind well and is I think a good compliment to cycling.

Bit of this..

Bit of that..

Observing and reading about trains,buses and coaches,

Meeting interesting people and helping them and listening to their problems with life/machines and family.

I never had you down as a trainspotter.

haven't ridden my bike in a little over a year. so to (sort of) make up for it, I do spinning classes 2-4 times a week. Not as good as getting out there but better than couch potatoing

I also do:

brewing beer
playing drums
listening to music. Particularly New Model Army, Foo Fighters, Killing Joke etc
SF
R/C helicopters (lapsed)
scale models

My pastimes seem fairly consistently based around things I'm crap at. I think if I ever found I was good at anything, I'd die of shock.

Enjoy cooking, fishing, riding my motorbike, running, brewing and the following activity drinking my home brew, watching tv mainly sport

Pc gaming, ice hockey, but also mess around with pcs, guitars, photography.

Spend all my time with my wife and two girls. Other than riding from time to time, working and sleeping, no time for anything else. I'm always amazed when these threads come up how many people with families manage to fit all these other pastimes in.

I'll always choose to spend my spare time with my family.

Fiddling with cars
County Cricket
Boxing
Pornos

Road biking
Travel - when I can afford it
Gym especially circuit classes and spin
Yoga
Volunteering - I'm a trustee of two organisations and for 7 years did some volunteering for the Prince's Trust
Walking - but don't seem to have much time left to do it

Cross-fit,coke an hookers 🙂

Or running badly and wandering around with dogs and a bit of weight training when not running.
(Don't really like running but due to eye thing - bleph 🙁 like to be spend more time outdoors than indoors)

I probably spend as much time on the road bike or CX these days compared to mtbing. I've really enjoyed getting involved in road racing and CX it has become a bit consuming.

When not on a bike

Hill walking
Horseriding

Travel when it works normally combining with Hill walking/Horseriding or cycling.

My main hobby today has been smashing a laptop into a thousand pieces.
On other days when I'm not as angry I have 3 main hobbies
MTB
Walking/rock climbing/mountaineering
Slalom waterskiing

Also in an archery club, but don't consider it a hobby as such, just a means to get out in the sun and relax, without the physical exercise.

Motorcycle trials, RC crawling, RC aircraft, micro sloping.

I'm always amazed when these threads come up how many people with families manage to fit all these other pastimes in. I'll always choose to spend my spare time with my family.

They're not mutually exclusive. Fortunately my kids want to join me fell running, climbing & kayaking as well as biking. That's ace.

compete and organise motorcycle trials, compete and organice classic car trials collect motorcycles/cars take daughter all over for british fell racing championships follow scarborough football home and away.. spend every waking hour on here and i m sucessful at not getting caught with coke or hookers

Before MTBing I used to do a lot of shooting, game in season and clays competitively, and a great deal of vermin shooting. The time costs of shooting mean that while the kids were younger and needed constant ferrying around the kit more or less lay idle in the cabinet, but now they both have their own cars and I'm too injured to ride, there's been a bit of a renaissance. My lad has treated himself to a new shotgun with a legacy from his Granny, so we've been clay shooting to get him ready to share my gun on the game syndicate come September,.

Technology has moved on, so I've now rigged the landy up for full covert IR driving using IR cameras and cheap reversing monitors, and IR scope on the rabbiting rifle, rather than lamping. Just waiting for some decent weather and then we're off ! Also well on the way to a cheap IR hack for my lad's air rifle, just waiting for a camera I've ordered and it'll be good to go for a bit of pitch dark ratting.

Skiing
Flying Rockets
and currently avoiding multirotors, but will end up wasting money on that too

Oh, rocketry, that's another lapsed hobby.
