Put some pics up when you can mate.

 

This has always fascinated me since reading 'BB's' books many years ago.

lately its been photography for me. Got a breeding pair of cameras. Film isn't getting any cheaper in the shops at 22 pounds for a 5 pack of 120 medium format film. The camera was £155, mamiya c220. I have a few more cameras too, but MF photography is mostly king. Theres green lanes or a pit top land in the ranger - used to go on the bike but tended to leave the track, and the police left me a little note at the door saying carry on and we'll cut your bike in half. So they gave me a 1 year probation ( get caught again in that time and..) . So its up and one day soon, time to start saving.

 

Also around boxing day I bought a model plane, it runs on batteries and has a little camera on it. I'll upload a video soon.

Just like to add that surfing isn't an expensive hobby. Board custom made €350, and had it 3 years and still going strong. Wetsuit €200 change every year if you want to surf the winter. That's a little over €300 a year. Granted fuel to get to some of the more remote spots is a factor, but that's spread over however many people you can fit in the car.

 

Have a couple of other boards but have had these years and they only get used when it's either really small or really big and don't want to snap a good board.
