i need a no-wind sport/hobby!!

[lazarus]

yeah i reckon i could get real nerdy over RC helichoppers!! must be brutal when you crash em though.

 

Can be very brutal in a heavy crash. if you loose interest in stuff quickly then helicopters probably aren for you. it a real skill to fly them (hence i now fly planes instead). planes a much eisier to get to grips with and great fun to strap cameras to. about half way through this video is aome footage shot from one of my planes (about a £50 airframe with every thing but radio and batteries) on a border line wind day for kites and aeroplanes Ozone Landkites > News > Appo video >> Relax, Take it Easy

 

fun hobby but i'm not going to lie and tell you it will be cheap, just that you dont' have to spend silly money on it.

[JizzMonkey]

SUP is the one for you i think.

[Dragnfly]

#2 for Geocaching. If you enjoy getting out walking/biking. If you have a smartphone there's a great app for it. Otherwise u just need internet at home and a gps gadget.

[Turbotez]

Whats the best app for it on an android phone???

yeah i already paddle board a fair bit. instructor ticket next month or two i hope.. need to practice my wave skills a bit first! gonna attempt to re-learn the mini ramp i reckon!!

 

any advice ye olde skaters?!

[Sir]

I took up sea fishing just before christmas. Not too expensive to start, couple of rods £30, couple of reels £30 and then your tackle.

 

A good way to kill a few hours on a beach and take in the fresh air and just sit and enjoy. Plus you get the benefit of maybe catching something

to eat. We've been living off bass the last few months :-)

[Sammy1599968740]

Fishing is something i will never, ever take up. we really shouldnt be eating fish. There'll be none left in 40 years.

 

Please throw back the small ones.

[LHF-scottishrep]

But fish tastes good! Just need sustainable breeds! Mmmm

Thank you for your input.

 

I throw back 99% of what I catch. Even the ones that are of a keepable size according to the size limits

 

I'd rather eat a fish that I'd caught than a mass caught one any day.

This vector thrust eagle kite looks cool, but pricy. It has no control surfaces like RC planes do. The miniature servos change the tiny motors direction. It can glide with the power turned off, but the power needs to be on for it to turn.

I'm hoping to get into board building this summer as well as building some more sliders for when the wind does blow. Wanna come up with some nifty anchoring designs for changing tides. A couple of mates found a good guide for building a cheap miniramp, think it cost them about £100 to build and after that you can session it to your hearts content, I really wanna make one but it's just whether you've got a place to put it!

that trust eagle cud just be wot i need for these pigeons that keep crapin on mi van, sodding sky rats

Just waking, hiking, fell walking, are a cheap alternative, just need legs .

Great alternative Hammer-n-saw. I know there are some great walks in Yorkshire, having stayed in Settle on many occasions.

 

Need good boots, a rucksack for picnic, drinks & of course waterproofs.

Yes, I agree, legs are useful too..

[Beancapooer]

Yep can't beat a good hyke although apart from rc aircraft have to say a good mountain bike with all the mountains and valleys around me would be great but with a baby and toddler lucky really keeping the hobbies I have.

 

With the winds recently thou have to admit nothings had a lookin on the kite and atb and bug.

[mick]

Agree on the geocaching but I took another one up. Don't know if its been mentioned before. Radio control helicopters. I started with one. Now I've got 6 and I am sh1t hot at repairing them. This is probably the hardest thing I've ever tried to learn. Tried being the word.

 

In truth my only suggestion regarding helicopters is DON'T. Get a flipping boat.

Just spotted this one. Not sure if he missed an 'n' or a 'l' out. Either way, 2 good no wind pastimes. Works for me.

Nice footage Lazarus. Looking to air some of my gliders off for a outing in a fortnight. Here you go a mate flying on our local slope. ( rc gliders although love to see a speed 3 going off it. Serious hangtime )
