MOUNTAIN BIKING
I am lucky enough to live on Takaka Hill and near the Kaiteriteri mountain bike tracks. This is a hobby that keeps me fit, alert and energised.
FISHING
I'm also blessed to be near the sea and river, it's not a hobby I do often but its perfect for some peace and quiet time.
FORGING
Forging is my real love of mine, I love to create useful things from recycled scraps of metal. I made my own forge, anvil and tools. There is a lot of timing and science involved.
