A hobby? I'd more call it a passion, and it would probably be marathon running and adventure racing. I'm even planning to challenge myself further by trying the world of ultra running soon...

I have a similar problem in that my big passion is film, and people always say, "oh so you like to go to the cinema then, me too." :rolleyes:

Sadly working 48hr+ week interfers with my hobbies

Radio controlled helicopters...beating the air into submission and finding that helicopters don't bounce very well...another rebuild.

Astronomy...unfortunately winter affords the best viewing and invariably the coldest nights.

Bagpipe playing...dementing!!!!

Photography...pc gaming...hill walking (living in the lakes this is expected)

It's a wonder i find time for work lol

Until this year I didn't really have a hobby, unless mooching around on the internet counts? :rolleyes:

This year though I have found British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) to go and watch, so this is now my hobby.

I also do cross-stitching, when I can tear myself away from the laptop. :rotfl:

Funnily enough I was thinking back to when you were a bit of a salsa dancer Martin when I went to see Hemmingway's Havana at the Fringe Festival last night.

The dancers in the show were excellent but no stripy shirts

Just made me think for a second is there such thing as online scrabble??

Hmmm I'm a bit of a money geek with a spreadsheet so that takes up some time (although certainly not enough to be a hobby!)

Other than that, I love going out for a blast on my motorbike with my partner/friends - even on my own! And photography, I'm not brilliant by any means, but I do enjoy it!

I love being scared (theme parks!), I'll have a go at most sports, I can't concentrate on something that doesn't require input for long periods of time (i.e. most films don't hold my attention, however non-drawn out computer games are good - wii's great!), and I hate watching sport.

I have photography, which ties in with my other hobbies of travel, walking etc. Sometimes make money from this by photographing weddings etc, but its a hobby, not a job.
