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 recently had my 65th birthday, 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. Last year was pretty good with some great walks, especially my Backpack from Corrour to Fort William and in July my week in the Alps. In September I completed the 2000ft summits of Wales as described in the Nuttalls Guide book " The Mountains of England and Wales" Volume One Wales. My thoughts have now turned to completing all the Summits of England, there are 251 and I have probably done around 125. The only drawback is the one called Pillar Rock which is a separate summit from Pillar and I understand is definitely a rock climb of around 125ft. I have never used a rope but I am sure I could persuade someone to take me up. However at my stage in life I am sure I could do it but there are so many other places to go I think I will leave it on the back burner for a while. I have just had a week in Zermatt in January with my partner Christine. We have never been on a winter holiday before but it was very exciting just to get up close to the Matterhorn and do some winter walking in the snow. Later in the year I am looking forward to some backpacking in the Knoydart in Scotland probably in April or May and then hopefully another week in the Alps in July. Anything else I can fit in will be a bonus. |
