when i’m not at work i’m quite an outdoorsy type of person, i’ll give almost anything a go apart from bungee jumping. i spend most of my time walking up mountains or kayaking down rivers, even in winter. i also play canoe polo in a few regional leagues (no it doesn’t involve any horses). there are quite a few outdoor challenges i want to try in the next few years, mainly the three peaks challenge and the devizes to westminster canoe race.

if i’m not busy doing something silly i seem to be able to waste hours watching absolute rubbish TV, i really need to look harder for the off button! a night sat in a decent pub appeals much more to me than a nightclub, not that i won’t try making a fool of myself on the dance floor quite often as well. i really like live music too, not that i’ve managed to get to many gigs recently.

not too sure what else i can tell you, feel free to ask

i work as an engineer, specifically sheet metal work. i work for the family business so its not always just a 9 - 5 job, but i definitely believe in “work to live don’t live to work”.

making and repairing things. being outdoors.

i'm not very good at first impressions. you need to get to know me to appreciate me.

sci-fi or thriller books something that makes you want to keep reading to see what happens next. pretty much any type of film, apart from really gory slasher type films. any food as long as it tastes good. don't think i can name my music tastes, if i like it, i like it and i'll listen to it mostly rock type stuff.

good friends, a local pub, my tent, my kayak, a car to move them around in, and a comfy bed to come back to.

doing something more exciting than i'm doing at that moment

on my way somewhere nice to do something exciting, or in the pub talking about going somewhere.

you like what you read. and don't take life to seriously.
