Hello everyone.
My name is Pete I'm 35 and live in Buckinghamshire. I'd say I'm a keen walker, though, do not get out as much as I'd like. I've explored The Lakes, Snowdonia, Exmoor, Dartmoor (close to my heart as born in Devon and friends nearby) The South Coast, Breacon Beacons and I even walked the Sudetes (raising money for charity). I'm yet to venture into Scotland (don't laugh) I have 4 kids and only recently married, so time to spare is next to non-existent. My new aunty in-law lives in Austria, a great excuse to visit the Alps perhaps. I was taken walking at a very young age with my siblings a lot with my parents, maybe that's where my hunger for that sense of freedom spurs from or maybe it's because I work in Central London every day earning what is called a living.... not ideal but pays the bills and puts food in the table, I long for escape to the outdoors, wether hills, mountains, fells or falls I feel totally my self. I studied the Russian language in order to travel West to East (I will one day!) Exploring the vast wilderness. Anyhow, that's me. My intentions here are to meet like minded people, make friends and gain more knowledge of our favourite past times.
I'm doing a ice wall climb on Saturday, gift from my wife as birthday present. Be my first experience with an ice axe and crampons!
Best wishes, Pete
