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

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

My Message: Recently retired professional male who can�t stand being indoors.
I usually do a couple of grade 3-4 walks a week and I hope to build-up to at least one 2/3 day walk each week, grade 5-9, in all weathers, over the winter months. I would prefer these to be mid-week but this is flexible. I�m looking for similar minded companions seeking to improve fitness, navigation, and hill-savvy skills. This is as much for safety reasons as for those deep philosophical conversations on climbs of 1000+ feet.

I�m no Bear Grylls � I have a modern campervan than I use as a base for longer trips but I consider the local Travelodge/BandB to be mandatory for sleeping! The van provides a neat facility for setting the heating on automatic timer and my must-have:- freshly brewed coffee.

I�m based in Hertfordshire and East Kent so I have a long drive to find any decent hills. You are bound to be en route to most of the national parks so location and lack of transport shouldn�t put you off. I�m not all climbing and route-marches, and expect to include wild-life reserves and historical places in any itinerary � but no shopping malls! You should expect to budget �50-�100 expenses for each trip.

I have no fixed plans or destinations, although the Munros in January are out, same for the Alps.
Let me know if you are interested and we can have a trial stroll up Box Hill or similar.

My Preferred Walk Grades*: 6:7:8:9

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