Male Walker in my mid 60s based near Bakewell looking for new friends to go walking with.

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Bakewell

My Message: Based in the Peak District and with a background in marine sciences and management, I've lived in numerous countries around the world, working in various marine sectors, such as renewable energy and civil engineering. Born in Kenya, I also spent about 20 years in The Netherlands, where my adult daughters live, before returning to the UK in 2008. Amicably separated, politically centre-left, pragmatic, non-fiction reader and omnivorous…a good pub at the end of a walk is always welcome!

Formerly an avid sportsman, mountaineer and skier (Alps and Cascades), I'm now down to exploring the indoors and hiking our national parks. Also finding myself drawn back to the sea, where I started my career. Right now, my challenge is to deal with swapping a hectic, international career for gardening and walking in the hills! But walking alone has become a chore…it would be great to share the great outdoors and fascinating indoors.

My Preferred Walk Grades*: 1:2:3:4:5:6:

My Preferred Walk Areas:
North East England; North West England; Yorkshire; The English Midlands; Wales;

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.
