Without saying too much, here are my hobbies.
I absolutely love photography, I took all the shots below with my little camera. I try to take shots wherever I go, usually.

I own two 450 size R/C heli's, they are extremely dangerous but good fun to fly.
This is my home made carbon body baby.

My 2 mountain bikes. I built the black and white one from scratch, it's light and very fast. Cycling is my way of staying fit.

I also play some snooker, I enjoy listening to music on my Ref Hi-Fi and I like playing about with electronics :p

That's it, there are all the things that I enjoy doing.

Oops I forgot to mention going out drinking with the guys :)

Sweet equipment and great photos as well, congratulations!!

Since I'm not a professional programmer, coding for Android with B4A is currently my main hobby! I have to say that this year my nerd side took over my sporty side and I gained a few kilos. Hopefully in 2015 I'll be able to set things right. I enjoy going to the gym and swimming as well. When I was living in Portugal, going to the beach was one of my top priorities. Finally, cinema, video games and losing a lot of money in the stock market (day trading).

That's it for me! :)

I `ve had way too many hobbies and have to have a cull now and then.

For the last 15-16 years I was very active in a bicycle club and helped organise meets around the country. That hobby`s being replaced now by travel adventures in my camper van and I`m also building a camping trailer which I hope to use for classic car rallies.

I have a quite big garden so that needs plenty of attention during the warm weather. Cooking and eating are things I enjoy too.

When the weather is too cold or wet outside I like to tinker with my PC and of course spend lots of time coding, reading about coding, thinking about coding, dreaming about coding.... lol :)

I don't get much free time, but when I do I guarantee that I will do something. For example I've just got back from an 8.7 mile bike ride.

Yes it is 2.18 am, now it's time for some Rum and Black then it's bed time :)
