Box: 87351

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

My Message: Hello, don't let the first part of my message put off any novice walkers or anybody who would just like a stroll in the countryside. I spent 15 years in the army so am used to walking, I did a Arctic survival course with the Royal Norwegian Air Force, a sea survival course with the German Air Force and a jungle survival course with the SAS so I know my way around a map and compass BUT I have recently had to retire due to ill heath. I have been diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy, to me and you that means the part of my heart that pumps out the oxygenated blood is only working at 27% capacity so I have to be very careful what I do. I'm up to 3-5 miles walking a day now but always take thing nice and steady, my walking area is East Leicestershire at the moment but I would like to go further afield if anybody would like to show me their area. I have recently rejoined the YHA so can stop over night if there is a hostel in your area. As I'm now retired I can walk week days as well as weekends. I feel it is only fair to let people know of my limitation but please don't let that put you off...... I'm not dead YET!!!!!
