Female Walker in my early 70s based near Upper Calder Valley, West Yorks. looking for new friends to go walking with.

Box: 178120

I am a Female Walker, in my early 70s, based near Upper Calder Valley, West Yorks.

My Message: Moving back north last year, I left my my regular walking companions behind and have not yet found others walking at my low level. I'm apalled by how much fitness I've lost in a year. Although I'm a confident walker I couldn't tackle long strenous walks at the moment, 5 or 6 miles on a fine day being my limit. I'd like to build up strength and stamina again with someone in the same situation or someone with buckets of patience.

I enjoy everything about being out in the countryside and like to take time to understand the landscape I'm walking in, its history and what lives or grows there. I'm happy to walk with someone who likes to stop to sketch or watch the birds; although I don't do much of that myself, I'm happy to stand by or learn. Tea shops and pubs may happily feature but I'm also content to carry all I need in remote areas. I care less about reaching the intended destination of a walk than the enjoyment of the walk itself.

I look forward to meeting others in the Calder Valley/West Yorkshire area who are happy to meet me.

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. With regard to the weather, this is the UK so it's going to rain sooner or later isn't it? Fine with me, I've got waterproofs. Sorry, but I really do not like walking with Dogs. To be honest, my map reading & navigation skills are a bit averagely average. I can drive and have a car.

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