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. In July 2009 I went to Switzerland with my friend David Swainson to walk part of the Alpine Pass Route we walked from Sargans in eastern Switzerland to Lauterbrunnen - 85 miles of spectacular scenery - check out the new page Alpine Pass Route - Part 1

My Walking wish list - Some I will manage, some are dreams and some I am determined to do
2010 is here and a few plans are already fixed- A trip for a few days to the Isle of Rum with the 40sWalkersNorth in May and in July I have booked the flights to Geneva to complete the Alpine Pass Route. Whatever else I can fit in will be a bonus. While up in Mallaig for the trip to Rum the Knoydart is very close and I might just manage another visit. Other things on my list are Ben Alder and plenty more of the 2000ft summits in England.

One of my favourite Webcams is Swiss Webcams A choice of webcams from around SwitzerlandWinter draws on - plenty of snow around now Check out the new website for Sierra Trekking Guided walking holidays in Spain and the UK - A Trekking Company I can recommend	I took this view of the Matterhorn in July 2007 as I neared Zermatt at the end of the Walkers Haute Route - No matter how many times I look at it this exciting photo it fills me with wonder. Many climbers have fought there way to the top, some have lost there lives. It is like a magnet, when you are near you cannot stop gazing up at it. Alas its out of my reach but it has got to be one of my favourite views
