Maria Futter - Lynch Hobies

My first real hobby was Horse Riding, After years of sitting on an old tree trunk I got myself a 20p Helmet off a carboot and went up and down the road on my bike pretending it was a horse until mum took me for Riding Lessons.

I loved every minute of riding, I loved Jumping and loved going out for a mad race with my friend along the river banks of West Lynn.

My friend has fond memories of talking to me one day while I adjusted my saddle, next thing I was sitting in the Dyke, the horse and just thrown it's head down and I'd rolled down it's neck.

This picture was taken of me riding Boswell A lovely looking horse just barking mad.

Volleyball was another great Hobby, I started playing at the age of 13, I joined the King's Lynn Cobras, I then went on to play for Norfolk College, and represented, King's Lynn, Norfolk and East Of England. King's Lynn put together it's own National League Team and I played for them for over a year.

I Finally gave up around the age of 21, I still miss it, but I think I miss the team more than the training. I loved playing the matches just didn't have the same enthusiasm for the training anymore.

I joined The Mark Farnham Schools of Tae Kwon-Do, After years of team training, I wanted to do something for me.
I didn't really even know what it was when I first went along to class but after my first session I knew that's what I wanted to do. It's a Korean Martial Art, using both hands and Feet.
After 4 years of hard training, I achieved my Black Belt which has been my proudest achievement in my life so far.

guitar

Country Music has always been more than a hobby for me, I grew up going around the festivals with my dad, and just fell in love with the people and the music.

I began playing the Bass Guitar at about the age of 13, and then moved onto the acoustic guitar. You can have more fun with an acoustic guitar. That's my special Takamine.

Very fast and scary rides, not really a hobby, but I love them, my favourite place has to be Alton Towers.The faster, or higher the better I nearly made myself sick once because I went on so many one after another. This picture is of me and my friend on the Nemesis at Alton Towers.
