I have several main interests, the first is walking.  I'm not talking about a little shuffle down the shops (although that is fine, it stops you starving) but long distance walking, generally on waymarked paths and in Southern England (particularly Sussex and Kent) which are within my 'patch' i.e. a reasonable day travel.  My main motivation is to get exercise and explore what still remains a relatively green and pleasant land at present (yes, even in the South East).  In my main walking section I will expand massively on the specific walking that I have done to date and have plans for.

My next interest (In no particular order of preference) is rail travel - although I do support all public transport in principle.  I am not an environmentalist particularly and I guess I find a certain synergy between walking/cycling and being able to hop on and off trains without being encumbered by a car (but I do not hate the car and share use of one with several friends).  I have recently been involved with a heritage railway near Hastings, but I have become very disillusioned with them as progress has been non existant due to bad politics and inept management (yawn).  Anyway my particular angle is seeing a righting of wrongs - ie a reversal of the damage caused to the rail network in the last several decades by attempting to resurrect some of it, although even I can see that it is fanciful to think we will ever have a comprehensive network again.

My last major interest is in Tech and computing - although I cannot afford many gadgets and new technology, but have built and upgraded my own PC over the years and find my Harddrive Freeview Dual Tuner box a quantum leap from VHS.  The gadget show on Channel Five keeps me up to date along with Micro Mart.

Apart from the above I do have some grounding in reality (kind of) and do keep my flat clean and tidy (mostly) and do normal stuff like shopping and talking to real people (although predictably I am rather shy).
