I am 62, and I have always enjoyed wildlife, and being outdoors, it's nature's way of de-stressing, as I got older trying to get that work-life balance right got easier, children had flown the nest, and no longer chased the bigger house, latest TV, gadget. I started moving from countryside walks to longer hikes and during COVID and being limited I hiked long-distance local hikes such as the Leicestershire Round, and Rutland Round, the Peaks. and currently on the SWCP.
