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

My Message: Hi, I'm Chris, I am lucky enough to live in North Wales, I work every tuesday in Bangor and like to go for a walk every tuesday evening (darkness, rain, snow etc no real problem. ) I enjoy full on winter conditions and have crampons and all the other gadgets. Typically I will do something like Snowdon via the Watkin path, or by Crib Goch if it's not too windy, although sometimes I will do a more gentle walk such as Drum from Llanfairfechan. I live near Prestatyn and enjoy walking in the Clwydian hills as well. I sometimes walk on other days of the week although I am not fond of Sundays due to the crowds, I work every Saturday so cannot go out then. It seems obligatory to mention map reading skills at this point, I have to confess to being quite proficient with map and compass although I have recently started to carry a GPS, which I find very useful in the dark in thick fog.
I usually go alone although, rarely, I am able to go with friends. I'd like to meet walking companions who can contribute to interesting conversation and who enjoy a drink at the Vaynol or Bryn Tyrch afterwards (unless they are closed when we get there. )
I like to go at a slow, steady, meditative pace but am quite fit despite being of heavier build than the stick insects which seem to populate the hills nowadays!
Looking forward to hearing from you.
