First Post

Given that I have spent my working life in front of computers, it is a bit surprising that it has taken me this long to have a go at writing a blog. The plan is to keep a record of my walks, and hopefully attach a few pics to each post.
I have always liked walking but it is only the last couple of years I have got into it properly. I live near Derby and am no further than an hours drive to various parts of the peak district. I love it up near Castleton and Edale, but there are also some great walks in the Derbyshire Dales.
Having started relatively late I feel that I am in catch up mode and would love to get some Wainright walks under my belt - we sayed in the Lakes a couple of years ago and did some walking on Catbells and Maiden Moor - so there is a lot to go at there.
Then there is Wales - we did the tourist route up Snowdon a few years ago , but I am now drawn (I don't know why because I am scared of heights) to have a go at Crib Goch.....maybe I should try some of the lake District Ridges first.
