Not sure if this is posted in the right place . . .

Wondering what hobbies folks manage to do when they are away in their vans. Thinking of indoor stuff really, hoping to be inspired :)

FWIW Watercolours and Astronomy are the two things I aim to do more of. My wife plans to read more books (if that is possible) and family tree (wifi depending)

We once went to the Vandee, we had a large shared pitch and our next door neighbour had just purchased a computerised drive for his clearly expensive telescope. We spent a pleasant warm evening tracking stars and planets on his iPad. And drinking alcohol.

Wine tasting😱 Generally though we were outdoors walking with our dogs, sometimes with grandchildren too. Evenings were spent around the caravan. Sometimes board games, reading and tv.

Socialising with friends old and "brand new", but that's the very essence of the "social camping" we do, attending rallies and temporary holiday sites.

When we had our health to do so, it was cycling, rambling, sight seeing and outdoor cooking and eating.
Basically, living much as at home but living life somewhere different with a bias to spending as much time outdoors as we could.

At home Mrs H and myself have wet day interests.
Jigsaw puzzles, model aircraft, balsa etc.
Woodentop , mentions amateur radio, a friend of mine does this from his caravan, drives his wife mad.

thanks folks, with us looking mainly at off season, with shorter days, I was curious about the indoor stuff.

Radio is an interesting one, not done that since I was a kid, used to listen to stuff from all round the world on a Sony Short Wave. Internet radio is fun. Know nothing about the whole Ham Radio scene, must go investigate . . .

FWIW Walking and outdoors will be a thing for us. I used to do quite a bit of night walking in winter with our eldest, but she has moved away and wife not interested, but hoping to get some more of that. Night mountain biking is fun too, but a bit too risky to do solo at my age.

Autumn will include some surfing (because the sea is still almost warm). Archery is definitely a thing, I am hoping to visit a few NFAS clubs that welcome visitors.
