Caving (although not so much these days) and FPV drone flying
I bought a load of FPV stuff, but didn't really take into account I live right next to an airport... Haven't flown in a about a year, but I should really get back into it!
Yeah, that could be problematic!
Only slightly!! ๐
I love flying FPV! Just started getting into the hobby, and have only flown in the sim (goggles otw), but it's really fun, especially when flying to music
It is a great escape from the day to day
Caving is really cool! One of my friends is super into it. There are some beautiful crystalline caverns underground. :)
Caving as in getting inside of caves and exploring them as stuff? That kind of caving?
Yes, usually referred to as potholing in the UK. Squeezing through tight spaces underground for fun!
It sounds like the absolute worst, and everyone I know who's ever been into it has been kind of crazy in other ways too. But hey whatever floats your boat ๐
It's definitely not for everyone that's for sure. I've been underground with new cavers who swore they weren't claustrophobic until we reached a squeeze, then reality comes calling!
Ah spelunking in the US. Why has it gotten harder?
Harder as in access to caves, or age related aches and pains?! Access to most caves in the UK is pretty straight forward if you are a member of a club. Many caves are protected and require permissions. The age related issues just keep getting worse each year ๐
Fpv drone flying is so fun. I fucking love flying them so much.
