Sports, Hobbies and Pastimes you wouldn't dream of doing.

For me it's got to be potholing.

My God would I ever hate all that squeezing through tight spaces hundreds of meters underground with the possibility of being drowned in a flood.

Just no.

I think I'd have a crack off most other things tbh - except extreme knitting - all those clacking needles and that vicious gossip would quickly break me.

Y'all?

I don't think I will ever understand why a person would choose to go on a cycling holiday.

I remember talking to this Dutch cyclist who was staying overnight in a campsite I was tenting in in Austria. He was cycling from the Netherlands over the Alps to the southern tip of Italy with just a small backpack and his bike.

He was 60 odd years old! :eek:

Fiar play but wouldn't be my cupatea.

It's like a puzzle that you'll never solve and you've already accepted that before you have begun.

No me neither.

I was on holiday in Croatia last year and we were on a bus travelling up this extremely steep, twisting mountain road.

About half way up we passed a man and a woman cycling, fighting for breath, sweating buckets, moving up the road inch by inch.

It was so steep the bus was struggling to get up so God only knows how they were feeling.

I lurk in the trains threads. .

Grand from the computer screen but I wouldn't don a plastic mac, thick glasses, flask of tea, binoculars and camera and head out in the rain fapping furiously at the thought of the 8:15 from Portalington passing by.

Simon Quinlank is king of hobbies and even he hates trainspotters.

Parkour, and free diving are insane.

The King of Moo

Racewalking.

Surely even the Olympic champion must think: "not only am I really just a failed runner, I look ridiculous too."

That wrestling they do in American High Schools.

Having some lad's groin in my face for what would seem like an eternity doesn't really appeal....

Jordan 199

Truck spotting.

seantorious

Freediving, the idea of being 100m underwater on a single breath is unbelieveable. Scuba's good though

The_Kew_Tour

Hockey. Your back would be fooked after it.

Volovo

Collecting. Of any kind. Coins, post stamps, matchboxes, 13 amp plugs... I mean, why would you want to?

I did something similar in Spain except I was walking. Walked 200km across Spain in 7 days last summer.
I got roped into booking it one night when I was having a few beers. I was dreading it for weeks leading up to it because this sort of thing wouldn't usually be my cup of tea but I have to say, it was a great experience and you shouldn't dismiss something until you have tried it. My only regret was that I didn't try and raise money for charity for doing it.

I never understood train (and bus!!) spotting until I came to England and say the numbers of different types and makes of train and all that. I get bird watching so I suppose it's similar. Not for me, but I can understand the interest in it.

My most non-desired hobbies would be beauty pageants like what they do in America with their kids (like in little miss sunshine) and the likes of Miss Ireland, what is the point?!
