Photography: I started taking photographs when I was about 12, processing black and white film, I set up my own darkroom, experimented with film speed pushing, tri-colour printing etc. I also have a collection of early cameras, the best being a 1909 Thornton and Pickard plate camera, and several early Exacta Single Lens Reflex 35mm cameras. Today I use digital cameras, a Sony Mirrorless, Insta 360 (great for cycling) and a Mavic Pro.
Cycling: I like cycling and cycle touring, I also have a collection of cycles, mainly back in the UK. My favourite is a 1981 Dawes Galaxy, a classic steel touring bike, but actually the bike I use the most, and I have with here in Vietnam is my lovely Brompton, the one I have with me is a 2008 P6R, its so versatile, and great for mix mode travel, as it folds down and can be carried by car/train/bus/plane (and even at a pinch on a motorbike). My cycling 'sport' is actually touring, I did some long distance routes in the UK, the sea to sea route, maybe when I retire I can do LEJOG, and maybe some Randonneur. Ive cycled in lots of countries too, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, US, and many European countries.
Pistol Target Shooting My sport in the UK, which I cannot carry on in Vietnam was competitive target pistol shooting. My 'event' is the 10m air pistol, using a model of Olympic target pistol, mine is a Hammerly. A great relaxing sport. You cant shoot if you are all tense or worried, breathing conrol is essential, teaches you great relaxation.
...and the others Well things I've tried but can't at the moment do. Heavy glider flying is one, I've done some test flights, but I'd really like to get my pilots licence. Alas not possible in Vietnam, but Thailand has a Flying Club that does the short courses.... Caving Actually I did some in the UK, but the magnificent caves in Vietnam are crying out to me! Only managed one brief excursion so far, but I will go again... Scuba diving I've done a few dives, and when the water is right its magnificent, but its quite risky, but I remain tempted to try again here...
