LOVE this... would love to start something similar! 

Do you wild camp when out?

On occasion. I do try to avoid it. The Dorset section there is no need to as there are plenty of camping sites. East Devon is also good for camping. West Devon is more of a struggle and I had to wild camp or go further inland. 

Cornwall I have started using more Youth Hostels as there are plenty about. 

I take quite a few photos of my travels too, though i am not much of a photographer. Heres a few from the St Just to Zennor section, probably the second toughest section on the whole path for undulations. 

Honestly, go and do something like this, I go solo and its a very rewarding feeling, though many times I have just wanted to give up and go home.

@Asomodai wow stunning... I've done the coastal routes here in Kent, some in Wales but not ventured much down that way

 

[StayOnTarget]

I enjoy games, anime, piano, DND, aquarium keeping, Go and martial arts. Still looking for somewhere nice to do the last 2 since I've just arrived here.

The next things I'd like to get into are motorbikes and playing the clarinet.

Whats the Airsofting like out in SA? Loved Durban beach probably my favorite,had 2 great holidays out there such a beautiful country?

I'm so glad I bothered to look down the rest of this post before asking you for some pics,oh and you're a better photographer than you think,great shots mate?

Bit of a thread necro, but photography been at it a few years now.

Goldfinch by darren bray, on Flickr

Fantastic picture,got fed up of 4 of these buggers fighting over a feeder so bought a brand spanker so they could all have a feeding post each(2 posts on each feeder). Now they fight over the new feeder.....good grief?

Sounds about right for them, I often get sparrows on the car at work as they know I'll feed them.

I'll throw up some more pics when I get the chance.

Funny on how the Cornish coast got a mention, as that's where I live.

Don't really do many coastal shots, but I have a few.

Ugh... hobbies... the bane of my life! ?

Mine:

• Martial arts: have black belts in karate and kung fu. Used to teach.
  
• Cycling: combined with the above, helps to keep the pies and pints off my waistline (a bit...).
  
• Music: bass playing and mixing/production (a whole other world of gear acquisition!).
  
• Gaming: Xbox FPS nerd.
  
• Airsoft: getting back into it after a few years off (preparing myself to be skint).
  

That and professional zoo-keeper to two young boys. Mostly feeding and mucking out.

Life is way too short for all this stuff.

Life is way too short for all this stuff.

Ain't that the truth. Balancing a relationship and social life with self employed work and about 10 hobbies is like trying to make 300hrs of stuff fit into a 168hr week. 

 

[Win Dage]

Choppers and trikes are my first love,music and plinking come after.

 

[lukeB]

Sadly don't get much time at the moment for hobbies other than a bit of xbox and occasional airsoft.

Would like to do some track days next year with the mrs.

 

[Asomodai]

In addition to the coastal walking I am also a bass player and have been for almost 17 years. I like to play all sorts of genres though mostly Punk Rock and Hardcore. As technical as possible.

Link to my last band here. https://shipsdown.bandcamp.com/releases

No Refuge has one of my bass solos in it starting from 1:11 Unfortunately I have been without a band for over a year now. Looking less and less likely at the age of 34 to be play originals in a genre I actually want to play though. Ageism is rife! 

 

[roymustang]

I like shopping. I am fond of buying different kinds of gadgets and house furniture. Lately I bought new recliner for myself. I found in on thebestreclinersreviews.com I think such recliners are good for relax after hard working day.

[DopeYourScope]

Track driving and drifting are one of my other hobbies

I’m in the process of building an E46 for track days, will be popping in a 3.0 from a 330ci and trying to do some laps at brands and a few ring trips.

The other thing to keep me busy is my horses, I used to compete a lot with them and did county level show jumping however not much in the way of competition anymore.

? it definitely does, however the cars aren’t too bad as I’m a mechanic so tools and space I already have.

Bit of cycling

 

[Guest]

Hmmmm. Loads.

Daughter, partner, and ex-wife all have horses, so by default that’s my second hobby.

For me, I have a section 2 licence for clays. I collect and use pocket knives, particularly friction folders, interesting watches and broken mechanical things

And live music

 ?

Aside from collecting the knives, do you carry one for utility purposes at all?  If so, are you able to recommend a reasonably priced everyday carry folding knife
