Jimny owners other hobbies

Hi All

After the interesting thread on 'jimmy owning motorcyclists' , I thought I'd see if we could get a thread going on a Jimny owners other hobbies.

So I'll start
My main hobby is playing/learning Tenor Jazz Banjo, I've been playing for about 4 years or so now. It's so bloomin hard that I still class myself as a beginner.

My other hobbies are :-

Walking/the dogs
Fishing (course)
Motorcycling
Watches.

Here's a YouTube of me playing (if you can bear it) :-


Who's next!

Love the Boat! Is that the TA that you're in?

Archery is my main hobby, in fact it's the reason I bought my Jimny so I could get to various archery competitions without having to argue with my Wife to have the main car. Little did I know the J has become a second hobby

I shoot a high tech "hunting" bow (although you cannot hunt in the UK with a bow) but at targets. There is the traditional target archery in open fields at set distances and target face sizes etc. However, I only do "field" archery, which in very loose terms is simulated hunting. You go around a course (typically in a woods), shooting at targets (spots, 2D animal faces or 3D rubber animals) at either know distances or unknown distances, where you have to estimate the distances from the shooting peg.

Over the years I have represented my county and have won a national championship, got a couple of national records and numerous podiums.

I also go caving and half way threw the Lancaster caverns, also did enduro love and miss the ktm,I'm a speed freak and miss my mma past time everything hurts when you get older.

Rambo lol its not fair your not aload to hunt in a country were the bow and arrow played a massive part in I swear there use to be a law were you had to pratice archory once a day or some thing like that
