In His Own Words
About him
Don't tell me, you've read all this before.
I'm not a person who can be characterized by "box ticking" and I act much younger than my age - just like everyone else on this site.
I am fitter than most people much younger than me because I spend much of my time in the hills and mountains of the Lake District, Wales and Scotland either walking, scrambling or climbing and I regularly go out with other Kendal Fellwalkers. I ski (reds, blacks & off piste) every year and used to do some sailing. In the last few years I've started doing more rock climbing.
I also enjoy doing all the usual things, like eating out in quiet country pubs which serve proper home cooked food with real ale, and have open fires to sit round.
I am not interested in football.
I am a very practical person and can turn my hand to almost anything.
When it's raining I can fill in lots of time doing the Telegraph crosswords, codewords, sudokus etc.
It goes without saying that I'm an optimist - everyone on this site must be, as it's an example of persistent optimism over experience and realism.
The most recent photo is the one of me scrambling on Pavey Arc, Langdale taken in October. The next is one of me skiing powder in Les Trois Vallees. Then there is the one of me ghyll scrambling. The one of me at the top of the snow gully was taken two days before lockdown started. The one of me leading on the indoor climbing wall was taken three months before that.
About his ideal match
Fit not overweight. That more or less says it all.
I'm looking for a slim, fit, attractive, intelligent, honest, sincere, vivacious partner with a sense of adventure and well worn walking boots.
If you ski and climb that would be fantastic.
