My other main hobby is hiking. I find spending a few hours on a trail to be incredibly relaxing. I also enjoy the fitness/exercise aspect. I can be cranky and stressed, but once I hit the trail and get into nature, my mood improves and I feel relaxed. I can also hike the same trail/area several times in one year because each time it's constantly different due to the changing seasons, different times of day, etc.
I also enjoy canoeing for similar reasons but that requires more work and preparation! I also like working out at the gym but, again, that's boring compared to hiking alongside a pond, along an escarpment or in the woods.
Some of my favourite hikes are ones where I can observe trains, where my two interests converge? I have 2-3 particular hiking areas where I have a good chance of watching trains during my hike -- I really like those! :-)
