I went to many OLD Yorkshire coursing meetings even though i was never into running dogs in anyway, that is another country pastime killed off for no good reason.

washerboy Posted January 2, 2020 Report Share Posted January 2, 2020 Old Yorkshire was my local, also one of my favourites.

NoBodyImportant Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 Years back my wife bought my a little toy sailboat for my birthday. Little did she know I would end up spending thousands on building custom carbon fiber monohulls and different silks to gain a 1/10th of a knot.

Yes actually, Before building our house I lived in a 14x80ft trailer. After we moved into the house I kept the trailer as a man cave. I filled it with everything I wasn’t allowed to bring in the new house. The wife has OCD and is very orderly and I’m what most people would call a hoarder. It was a very nice trailer and I could bare to tear it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All gear intensive activities. It's not that I have every gadget going, but I want the right tools for the job. Since for example my fishing covers everything from freshwater trout to offshore marlin fishing and my hunting everything from rabbits to deer, that's a lot of toys!

That's funny Mel, my wife and I were just talking about this. I've been SCUBA diving since 1999 and have dived all over the world, often seeking out shark dives. I'm not in the slightest bit worried about sharks when SCUBA diving. Spearfishing is a different ball game, blood in the water, injured fish, no SCUBA bubbles to scare away toothy critters. It's certainly riskier from that point of view. I'm just finding my feet in this sport. The experienced guys seem to take it all in their stride and see it as part of the fun!
