Female Walker in my mid 40s based near Birmingham looking for new friends to go walking with.

Box: 96625

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 40s, based near Birmingham

My Message: I currently live in south Birmingham, and would like to walk more than I currently do - I spend far too much time sitting on the sofa just thinking about places I'd like to go to.

I'm only looking for friends, either for local walks or further away - I'm currently working my way through the Wainwrights and am half way through - so I'm particularly interested in fell walking friends.

I don't consider myself a particularly experienced or confident walker, but can read a map and feel happy to be out in the fells on my own - I do most of my walking alone at the moment.

I love nature and wildlife - and am often behind a camera when I'm not walking. I'm vegan, so perhaps not the right choice of walking partner if you're wanting to go for a Sunday roast afterwards, although I'm more than happy to have a post walk beer.

I'm a teacher, and it would be particularly good to meet others who are looking to walk in the holidays.

My Preferred Walk Grades*: 1:2:3:5:7:8:

My Preferred Walk Areas:
North West England; The English Midlands;

A bit more about me:

I can cope with a little bit of scrambling if it is short and there are no steep drops. With regard to the weather, this is the UK so it's going to rain sooner or later isn't it? Fine with me, I've got waterproofs. I like walking with dogs but do not have one of my own. To be honest, my map reading & navigation skills are a bit averagely average. I can drive and have a car.

I am also interested in:

Peak Bagging - where the aim is to climb all the hills or mountains on a particular list such as 'bagging' all the Wainwrights or Munros;
Long Distance Path Walking - Multi-day walks like The Pennine Way, Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk;

Important: For the avoidence of doubt I am definitely not looking for anything other than someone to go walking with.
