Hobbies and Interests

I enjoy being outdoors and I enjoy going camping at least twice a year. I enjoy driving and being competitive and have took part in track days which involves racing a car on numerous occasions. These experiences have given me confidence in myself and my abilities and have also given me confidence to meet new people and get on with them well.
