Seeking similar others for recreational challenges and expeditions
I'm fit, travel UK, Europe, US;
now in my forties.
I would like to hear from you if you have similar interests or experience.
I have long term unrealised backpacking ambitions for the Vercors plateau in
SE France or the GR20 in Corsica.
I've some photos of previous expeditions and would be interested to see yours.
Also looking for climbing mates based in the London area - I'm usually able
to get up grade 3
Thanks and cheers, John
