Finches

[stevebelbin]

Same for me, I used to keep zebra finches in a aviary, then got a few pigeons in my mam and dads back garden, then used to watch the races down the local allotments and got the bug. Then discovered the bird without feathers   and then back into pigeons. I do think you also need another hobby as well as pigeons, so you dont take it too seriously. I do a lot of running, walking and biking to keep me away from the lofts  ;D ;D ;D

[Guest Paulo]

I like the hill walking when I pass my test I'm going to do a lot more get yoursleves a look up the lakes with me and some of the lads

[stevebelbin]

The lakes is spot on for mountain biking, I go once a year to Bowness and have a good night out there and then biking the during the day - Spot on weekend away  ;D. Also the cleveland hills are spot on for walking and biking, I do a ride from my house to Kirbymoorside (abt. 40miles) a few time a year, cant beat it up on those moors for some peace and quiet  ;D

[Guest]

Original anorak: industrial history, railways, canals, iron & steel, mining.

 

Combined that with a bit of physical exercise & fresh air, walking & mountain bike, as some of these places were in the middle of nowhere: Young's Parafin trails around Fauldhouse, Addiewell & Bathgate, worlds first oil refinery etc etc.
