   27/07/08 Near Sandwood Bay in Scotland on my way to Cape Wrath

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 65th 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. 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 " During January 2008 I had a great holiday in Zermatt with my partner Christine followed by several good weekends in the Lake District with the Walking Club 40sWalkersNorth and excellent Internet based Walking Club - In April I completed a walk across the Knoydart in Scotland which was certainly one of the highlights of my year. In June I had several good walks while on holiday in Spain and now summer is here its time to get out and climb some hills
