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

Box: 205061

I am a Male Walker, in my early 60s, based near Redcar

My Message: I have enjoyed walking on and off since I was a child, and spent many years walking with my wife mainly in the Lake District and North York Moors and coast. Since I lost her just over two years ago, although I have an adult son and male friends who I walk with, and I sometimes enoy walking alone, I miss female company on my walks.
I'm often quiet with new people in social situations, but I promise I liven up once I get to know people. I really enjoy exploring and sharing my love of the countryside with others.
I am semi retired, though I do some voluntary work, but I can be flexible over walking days. I live very close to the NY Moors and within daily range of the Lake District. I also have a touring caravan and often spend longer periods in the Lakes and elsewhere.
I am a reasonably confident walker, though slow going up hill these days and I'm not very fit at the moment. I have a GPS, but am also a fairly confident map reader and have a good sense of direction. I have completed my Wainwrights, some I have walked many times, but am quite happy to repeat them or just to wander through some of the valleys or over the moors.
I also have an interest in history, and often try to find something of interest on my walks but at times I just enjoy the open and the peace and beauty I find there. If there's a tea room at the end of a walk, so much the better.
Please get in touch if you think we'd get along and would like to plan some walks.

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 most weathers but do not like snow and ice. 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:

Camping on Campsites - Camping where there is a shop, toilets, showers & possibly a pub;
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;
I Often Look For Walks With Some Historical Interest.

I am not actively looking for anyone other than a new walking companion but if that right person came along . . .
