I am a Male Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Birmingham

My Message: Hi,

Just discovered this site.

I have recently started walking again to help stay healthy. Not done anything too challenging yet and I am as happy strolling round a village as I am going over the hills.

I tend to get on better with younger people and for some reason most of my friends are female. I'd like to think I am good company and at the very least I can keep up a conversation. Very ok with a bit of companionable silence as well.

I am an active volunteer so I don't have immense amounts of free time but I want to keep walking and company is the best motivation. :)

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

My Preferred Walk Areas:
The English Midlands;

A bit more about me:

I can cope with a little bit of scrambling if it is short and there are no steep drops. 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. To be honest, my map reading & navigation skills are a bit averagely average. 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;
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;
