Male Walker in my early 50s based near West Kirby looking for new friends to go walking with.

I am a Male Walker, in my early 50s, based near West Kirby

My Message: I've just got back into walking recently and quite often go walking with a male friend but I do miss the chemistry a female companion can bring.

In the past I have walked chunks of the Pennine Way and Offa's Dyke path and also in the Alps and the Pyrenees. In recent times I've started walking again in the Clwydians and the Marches areas but also closer to home on the Wirral. I'm doing walks of around 10 miles at the moment and quite happy with that or a shorter walk.

I have a very quirky cheeky sense of humour and love to make a girl laugh. I like doing lots of other things- cooking, football mad, astronomy, bird watching and love a decent box set. I do need someone to give me a bit of a motivational push though sometimes !

My ideal walking partner would have a good sense of humour and be patient if we got lost. A lady who enjoys the outdoors but enjoys the journey rather than seeing a walk as merely a physical challenge. A warm affectionate type with a good heart. No smokers or heavy drinkers thanks !

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

My Preferred Walk Areas:
North West England; Wales;

A bit more about me:

I can cope with a little bit of scrambling if it is short and there are no steep drops. 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. I like walking with dogs but do not have one of my own. If pushed, I'd say my map reading & navigation skills are rather poor at best. I can drive and have a car.

I am also interested in:

Peak Bagging - where the aim is to climb all the hills or mountains on a particular list such as 'bagging' all the Wainwrights or Munros;
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 . . .
