Male Walker in my late 50s based near Bath looking for new friends to go walking with.

I am a Male Walker, in my late 50s, based near Bath

My Message: In 2016 I almost did the John Muir Trail in California but couldn't complete it having fallen badly and damaged a knee. To do the JMT I had to do a lot of training mostly in Wales carrying weight. In 2018, I'm booked to do it again, starting my training shortly. I am looking for a partner(s) to join in some of the training with me who doesn't mind some wild camping and a bit of adventure. Unfortunately, none of my friends have the time to join me. I am experienced with the hills and mountains of the UK having climbed most major peaks in all weathers. Pretty good navigator and I am fit for my age but not a fast walker, more a speedy plodder. I love the outdoors and mountains especially. I mainly walk at weekends as I work but can stretch to long weekends. Just been hiking in the Bavarian Alps - lovely place. Thanks, Andrew

My Preferred Walk Grades*: 6:7:8:9:

A bit more about me:

When it comes to Scrambling & Edges I'm OK with the occasional edge or scramble but don't go looking for it. I'm happy to walk in all weathers - sunshine, snow, hail, wind & rain - bring it on. I'm not bothered about dogs one way or the other. I'd say my map reading & navigation skills are pretty good. I can drive and have a car.

I am also interested in:

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;
Back Packing - Multi-day walks carrying all your gear & wild camping;

Important: For the avoidence of doubt I am definitely not looking for anything other than someone to go walking with.
