Now I've got rid of the 101, I've realised I need a hobby to keep me occupied and off the streets when I'm not hard at work.

I currently paramotor but it's weather-dependent.

We've got a load of Hornby train gear in the loft (via both sets of parents) but nowhere to set it up...

Photography is interesting at times but I only really get into it when I'm travelling.

What does everybody else here do, apart from getting muddy and wielding spanners?

I sometimes walk up a mountain or 2, explore old mines, gold panning in the local rivers, photography, and this year I have taken up fly fishing.

My hobbies apart from the obvious of Landys, beer and off roading, are aviation and military history, building model aircraft as it concentrates my mind and takes the stress away. I'm currently working on a B24 Liberator. It satisfies my alter ego!

Apart from the Land-Rovers, and the GLAss rep for the Island, I do a bit of "taste testing" for a number of cider makers, and a similar task for a couple of chocolate companies - this I do totally on a volountry basis......

I also collect, restore and occasionally race 'Scalextric' and other slot-cars (Got around 700 tucked away)

I also collect 1/50 scale plant and machinery models - diggers, 'dozers etc, and I'm slowly learning to fly an electric (as opposed to i/c motor) radio controlled helicopter.

Plus a bit of walking, cycling and photography

Plus giving SWMBO a good listening to - this takes up a fair ammount of time.....!!

Regards,  Chris
