Male Walker in my early 50s based near Cambridge looking for new friends to go walking with.

I am a Male Walker, in my early 50s, based near Cambridge

My Message: My name is John and I'm an accountant (not my fault!). I recently discovered that walking up mountains is great exercise and a total detox for a stressed mind, so I like to do it when I can, especially in the Lakes and Scotland. Unfortunately I live near Cambridge - so I can commute easily into the City - but it's so not hilly around here, plus I appreciate company as I find hiking on my own a bit lonely. Fortunately my job is fairly random and I can get away for days at a time, working on my laptop if need be, to hike and explore. I'm looking for someone to share the experience, the grandeur, the isolation, the views, of being in a wonderful landscape. But safe in the expectation of a civilised shower, meal and comfy bed at the end of the day. I am NOT a camper!

I can navigate quite confidently and I can lead or follow, if required, but much prefer to travel by consensus (as I get all the leading and following I can cope with at work). I can do day trips out-and-back, or linear trips if the accommodation is booked ahead. I'm not too ambitious; definitely a walker with a bit of scrambling in me, NOT a dedicated rock climber and no desire to be one as I find heights scary - did Striding Edge in May, clinging to the rock - but my confidence is improving.

So I'm hoping to find a walking companion, based either in the South, who can share the driving, or in the North/Scotland, to meet up with. Please contact me if you want to make a friend and share some great walks.
