I live in the north east of England, near to Darlington, with my wife Sheena, my step children Andrew and Sarah, and our collie Tim. I been a very keen hill walker for many years, mainly wandering the fells of the Lake District, but also exploring parts of Snowdonia, the Scottish Highlands and the Pennines. Up until about four year's ago I was involved in a lot of 'group leading' for a number of voluntary organizations, but a major illness has unfortunately meant that I've had give up that  role up.

More recently I've been exploring parts of the Lake District that had not been of much interest to me before, and have discovered some  great little spots, which I'd often driven past and never given them a second glance. In the past when I was 'leading' my main criteria for going out for a walk was to 'bag' as many summits over 2000' to put in my log book, now when we (its not often I can escape by myself anymore) go out it's to enjoy the mountains and ourselves ...
