In His Own Words
About him
I'm looking for a partner to share the ups & downs of life, travel, outdoors, the sofa on a Sun eve with a good film, a bottle of wine, meals out, weekend city breaks , cinema, concerts, theatre. I'm quite happy on my own, doing stuff with other friends, but there's something special about a special person....
Some more to flesh things out
walking/hiking: done a fair bit: Done Wainwrights, now Ethels in the Peak District as a pretext to explore
cycling: just getting into it: had a hybrid/road bike for a while and would like to make more use of it. Was hoping to go USA C2C but that got shelved by covid19
running: a coule of miles every morning, mostly flat/road, might like to dip a toe into something a bit more adventurous. Occasional park run (am currently on a streak, accidently).
I'm a bit of a BBCR4 junkie (ISIHAC, News Quiz etc). I used to be an Archers fan. I'm quite keen on recycling, I despise litter: I'm a sucker for 007 movies, esp Daniel Craig; NCIS is a current favourite at the mo too.
I don't have (never have had) kids or pets (I'm away too much: marginally more of a cat person than a dog person but like both). I am probably a bit anti when it comes to smoking as well. I'm transplated in the Yorkshire Dales (since 1999): I was born down south and sound like a southerner. I'm a terrible (= don't) dancer (three left feet). I scrub up reasonably well as the occasion warrants, anything from favourite jumper or gortex to smart suit, bunkhouse to posh hotel. Music-wise is lots of things between Bach & Bowie. I'm omnivorous and like good meals out or sandwiches on the hills: I have a weakness for Hobnobs (chocolate, of course).
If you got this far, I must be doing something right. Thanks for reading this far. Do get in touch! Otherwise, happy dating!
The photos are my own (no filters, whatever they are). I have a car and do drive. Am willing to relocate for the right reasons/person.
About his ideal match
Outdoors, active, traveller, good communication, Julia Roberts moment (Notting Hill). Deal breaker: would you share the last Hobnob in the packet?
