This is the page for finding out about the hobbies and interests I pursue.
My main hobby is Scuba Diving. It was Lisa that introduced me to diving when we were dating, although it took me 6 years before I actually tried it. Please view the Diving Page for more on that.
Walking and Hiking – I love the mountains. My love for the mountains is founded somewhat in my experiences as a missionary for the Church in Austria. I spent two years in the country living in Leoben in the south, Innsbruck, Steyr (not too far from Salzburg) and in Vienna. Leoben, Innsbruck and Steyr have the Alps mountains on their doorstep, in the case of Innsbruck, my apartment looked out onto the Nordkette that stands over Innsbruck. I was stuck immediately by the majesty of these mountains and spent most of my free time walking and hiking the Alps of Austria. I don’t get as much time as I used to be able to just go walking but hopefully as Scott gets older the opportunities will increase as it may be that he will enjoy it. See the diary entry from July 2004 from the diary.thegilmours.net for his first hike.
My other interests include playing football, golf and a bit of squash or badminton. I play regular football with work collegues but I haven’t swung my golf clubs in over a year, I suppose due to the fact that I have mainly been diving. However I did win a coveted nearest the pin in my first year of playing golf at a golf day, for which I am very proud. There is a short video mp4 clip over at the gallery.thegilmours.net
