I am a Walker, in my late 70s, based near Matlock

My Message: Hi, I'm Adrian, a vegetarian, single, retired, a co-operative rather than competitive person. Have walked solo for many years but do enjoy walking with a female companion/s to explore our beautiful island. I had a camper van for 12 years but in 2024 changed to a Eriba caravan to use as a mobile base for circular and linear walks. I enjoy all types of walks both short and full day walks and long distance. I have completed a number of classic long distance paths including The Dales Way, Pennine Way, Wainwrights Coast to Coast, Cleveland Way, West Highland Way etc. Not so good on heights these days so I avoid walking on high level narrow ledges. Am passionate about our natural world, fun loving, often quirky. Other interests include nature walks, conservation and engaged with local community activities. Am a long term of NT, WWF, RSPB, WildlifeTrust, Protect The Wild etc conservation groups. On the political front am a long term member of CND, supporter of Amnesty International, a Green Party member and in recent times a Corbynista. I enjoy reading natural history, biographies and have a eclectic taste in music, art cinema, theatre, the arts, wildlife gardening and DIY. Am politically a bit of a lefty. If any of this appeals, please get in touch.

My Preferred Walk Grades*: 1:2:3:4:5:

My Preferred Walk Areas:
North West Scotland; Southern Scotland; North East England; North West England; Yorkshire; The English Midlands; Wales; East Anglia; The Heart of England; South West England;

A bit more about me:

I really don't like Scrambling & Edges - they are defintely not for me. I'm happy to walk in all weathers - sunshine, snow, hail, wind & rain - bring it on. I like walking with dogs but do not have one of my own. To be honest, my map reading & navigation skills are a bit averagely average. I can drive and have a car.

I am also interested in:

Camping on Campsites - Camping where there is a shop, toilets, showers & possibly a pub;
Wild Camping - Camping out in the wilds well away from anyone & any facilities;
Long Distance Path Walking - Multi-day walks like The Pennine Way, Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk;

I am not actively looking for anyone other than a new walking companion but if that right person came along . . .
