I am a Male Walker, in my mid 40s, based near Lytham
 My Message: Hi, I am looking to meet likeminded people for walking and camping trips. I have been into walking for almost 17 years and like nothing better than been out in the countryside. I enjoy low level walks as much as the challenge of a mountain. I have been walking with an old friend since I started in 1998 and he was the one who got me into this wonderful past time. We still go walking together but he isn’t into hitting 3 to 4 peaks in a day where as I enjoy the challenge that brings every now and then. He also doesn’t get away camping anymore so the days of doing a large mountain walk whilst camping are becoming more limited. I love camping as much as walking and combining them both is for me a fantastic experience. I spend most of my walking time in the Lakes and The Dales but I’m open to visiting other areas. I am 47 years old and have a pretty good fitness level and managed a 12 mile mountain walk in the Lakes a few weeks ago. I trekked to Everest basecamp in 2009 so the physical challenge to me is appealing. I am looking to do the Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge at some point, either this year before the end of October or in Spring next year. I am also hoping to continue camping through the autumn and possibly into winter with walking as part of these trips. It would be nice to have someone to go along with. I have done some backpacking but that was many years ago where I completed the dales way with my walking friend but we did it from Bowness to Ilkley instead. I did attempt the Coast to Coast a few years ago but had to stop due to too many blisters, something I hadn’t suffered with before and haven’t since! I would also like to try doing some wild camping at some point but perhaps I would have to start with a short trek to begin with as its been a while since I carried a pack full of camping gear. I would like to attempt the coast to coast again in the not too distant future although I’m not sure I would be carrying all my equipment over such a long distance but the challenge does appeal. Anyway, I shall leave it at that for now but if you're interested in any of the above it would be great to hear from you. In the meantime, happy walking.
