Mainly windsurfing when I get chance.

Parents have a place in Spain which is a very good windsurfing spot (where I took it up) And they have just bought a place in down the road from Poole Harbour so another great spot to do it.

Get bored of doing it on Lakes in the UK when there are such great warm water conditions abroad.

Used to Ski but then took up snowboarding and been doing that for 5 years. Try and go a couple of times a year, end up organising the trips, last year there was 15, it was so good this year there is 30!

Oh yeah, used to the fly RC planes when i was younger!

Used to do a lot of R/C slope-soaring, but moving to East Anglia stopped that - not too many high slopes round here!

Have also done archery, plus full-bore pistol and rifle shooting. Also a bit of clay shooting.

Made a 5" gauge steam locomotive, followed by the Locost. These days the car takes up most of my time...

What next? Who knows...

Used to be into Warhammer, painting the little lead figures and all that. But now it's mainly persuading the Boss I need a new faster car! Oh, and gardening, something I swore I'd never do until I get a garden and it all changed.
