      I like to spend time with my family, and go hiking in the Peak district. I also enjoy going climbing and bouldering with a Club and my colleagues in Manchester. I’ve made plenty of friends over the years through my work in lots of different places, so it’s great to catch up with them either socially, or professionally. It’s quite common to bump into old colleagues and friendly faces at conferences, which give ample opportunity to have fun in the evenings.

      I do a lot of cycling as I live in Northamptonshire and it’s a bit hilly! I have a road bike which I love and is my most prized possession.

      I also like reading, fiction, non-fiction, poetry, anything! So I spend a lot of time reading and visiting bookshops on weekends.

      I am trying to learn Swedish as I used to live there, it’s hard word but it’s nice to try something different and I’m learning just for me, not because I need it for work for a qualification.

      Meet up with friends, go to dinner.
      Try different craft hobbies. I tried pottery recently and I will try some stained glass work soon.
      I have been doing aerial yoga which is a lot of fun. I am not bendy at all though 🙂

      Other than that I like watching movies at home with my partner and eating good food

      I read a lot… I’m a bit of a SciFi addict. That extends to what I watch on TV and in the cinema. I grew up with the optimism that the original series of Star Trek had and the quirky spin on science that Dr. Who gave. Those influences are still there.

      They even extend into my taste in music where I’m very much the model of an old prog rocker!

      I like to play games and solve puzzles. I spend a lot of time with my family which often involves traveling to another town or country.

      I love to watch movies and read books. I like to go out and explore new places, taking photos and trying new experiences. I also love cars so I am always looking out for interesting ones or going to car shows etc.

      Not really a sporty person

      I enjoy cooking (especially baking or making sweet stuff) and playing my electric guitar. I also enjoy travelling to explore new places and try new food. I also enjoy a rollercoaster or two.

      Aside of spending time with loved ones, for fun I watch movies, read or go for walks. I also like adventure parks

      I like to do trampolining gymnastics for fun! I love learning new skills and competing for my university. I am also a qualified coach, so I enjoy helping others learn new skills and become better at trampolining.

      Apart from that, I love spending time with my friends, reading, going on walks and playing video games 🙂

      I like running and hillwalking and generally being outside as much as possible. If it’s raining, I also love cooking and do a bit of homebrewing as well (chemistry helps with these!).

      I really love cooking and making different dishes for my friends and family! I also really enjoy water sports like swimming and water polo. It gives me a chance to relax after a busy day!

      Swimming, walking/cycling, wildlife spotting, gardening, cooking. Growing vegetables/fruit has been both fun (when it works) and frustrating (when it doesn’t), a bit like experiments in the lab!

      Swimming and hiking are the main two things that get my out the house.

      I love video games and movies when stuck at home.
