Introduction

Hi, I am 37 [yikes] and getting back into climbing, hiking etc after long period of absence (work/injury related). I have full multi-pitch trad rack, ropes etc and camping/hiking (all seasons) kit needed for extended backcountry trips if necessary.

What would like to get and do?

Am hoping to meet like minded indvduals who are keen on outdoor activity trips. Have been driving a desk for far too long without any exposure to the reral outdoors. First learnt to climb whilst in Royal Navy doing sport, trad, top roping and deep water soloing in a mix of locations including; La Spetzia, Italy. Marseille, France, Wye Valley, Wales, Cornwall & Devon, UK. Also spent 10 years surfing in the UK whilst living in Devon/Cornwall. Have also snowboarded a few years and done some short hikes up in the Catskills.

What is your favorite outdoor memory?

Went on a surf trip in Ireland (up in Sligo near Easky) for a week with 3 mates from University. Spent one night sleeping outside the tent in the board bag next to a campfire stocked up on the local peat briquettes (burned nice and slow) looking up at the stars and listening to the surf break.
