About me

Introduction	This blog is intended to bring together information on Hill Walking for those over 60. The information is based on the personal experiences of the author, his friends, and from the internet. It will cover routes, planning, equipment, tips and advice to either improve your hill walking experience or encourage you to 'take to the hills' and not let age get in the way. The author has been a Hill Walker since he was a teenager when he spent most weekends on Exmoor, Dartmoor and The Brecon Beacons. He has walked all over the UK, Europe & Middle East, particularly in Scotland, Wales, Yorkshire, Cumbria. Throughout his walking life he has preferred the 'High Ground' to the lowlands and this passion continues. He has taught Hill Navigation, Mountain Craft and Survival Techniques. The author is not a streamlined, super fit mountain goat, far from it - he carries a few more Kg than he would wish and suffers from arthritis and ailments associated with a misspent youth partaking in 'extreme sports' or having fun as it was called then!
