06/02/09 - Shutlingsloe in Cheshire from Cumberland Brook Wildboarclough

I'm David Preston and I live in Macclesfield, Cheshire. I love mountains and wild places where I can explore and experience the beauty of this wonderful world of ours. I had my 66th birthday last October, a pretty important stage in life. I am still carrying on working at the moment so it us very important to make each weekend count. During 2008 I some great walks including a Backpack across the Knoydart from Inverie to Shiel Bridge, A weeks walking holiday based at Ullapool with an ascent up Suilven and a backpack to Cape Wrath. In the summer I enjoyed a few good days walking in Spain in the area near Nerja. During 2009 I am hoping to get a week in the Alps as I did not manage to get there during 2008.

I have made a slight change on my walking log, frequently when I have been walking I have only put photos and descriptions on a page when I had reasonable weather and some decent photos. I have decided to put a brief summary on for each walk together with occasional photos. Where I have taken many photos I will continue to put a full report on which will be marked by the camera symbol The Link to the Summary page will be marked by Summary until I can get a suitable symbol.
