I am a Male Walker, in my late 60s, based near Bakewell

My Message: Currently test driving my new hip (installed in September '25) so less time trials and peak bagging for now. Hence, seeking a co-driver/navigator for 5-10 mile hikes to start with, with a view to more challenging outings in due course.

Based in the Peak District, separated, centre-left, pragmatic and omnivorous. With a background in marine sciences, I've lived and worked around the world. Hence I used to ski, climb and hike in the Alps and Cascades. These days I just hike, mainly in the Peak District and Snowdonia but would like to go further afield both in the UK (including coastal paths) and abroad. Would also love to get back on skis, a boat and maybe even a horse! A good pub at the end of the day is always welcome!

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

My Preferred Walk Areas:
North East Scotland; Southern Scotland; North East England; North West England; Yorkshire; The English Midlands; Wales;

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'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:

• Long Distance Path Walking - Multi-day walks like The Pennine Way, Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk;
• Skiing and/or Snowboarding
• The Sea

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