gritnit
I have climbed since 1965, and I'm currently leading up to HVS, mainly on gritstone in the Peak District. My experience on multi-pitch routes has been intermittent, and mainly in Wales and the Lakes, though in the past I have climbed in Canada, Bregaglia, New Zealand and the French Alps.I have a preference for trad rock climbing, and away from crowds. I've done a little sport climbing, but enjoy indoor bouldering.
I've recently retired giving a bit more time and flexibility. I am Nottingham based and I have my own transport.

About My Photography
More quantity than quality, but occasionally I capture a shot that I'm very happy with.
Wide variety subjects - landscapes, wildlife, grandchildren and occasionally climbing.
