I am a Male Walker, in my mid 30s, based near Elstead, Surrey

My Message: Hi my names Luke and I'm looking to make some new friends like-minded walking companions. My previous walking buddy recently moved to New Zealand so looking for someone to fill his boots.

I'm fairly new to hiking but have done a few wild camping excursions in the Scottish Highlands, Wales and Snowdonia..I've bagged a few munros including Sgurr Alasdair-Isle of Skye, Nevis, Buachaille Etive Mòr also done Snowdon and some other Welsh peaks. I am now keen to do Scafell pike!

I work as a head gardener so the love the great outdoors come rain or shine. I would mostly be looking at weekend hikes or daytrips to the lakes,Wales or Scotland. I have a basic campervan which makes things easier. I have an Alaskan malamute who sometimes accompanies me if possible.

Someone fairly close to my area would be good as I'm also keen for local walks at other times. Please get in touch if you think we'd get along and would like to plan some adventures.

My Preferred Walk Grades*: 1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8:

My Preferred Walk Areas:
North West Scotland; North West England; Wales; South East England; South West England;

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 like walking with dogs and will bring my own. To be honest, my map reading & navigation skills are a bit averagely average. I can drive and have my own Campervan/Motorhome.

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