Beschreibung

Hi - I'm fit and very active! I volunteer within the UK with a number of organisations (RSPB, DofE, Forestry Commission, National Parks, Wildlife Trust, PedALL (inclusive cycling charity) and when I'm not out with them, or travelling, most days will find me hiking or cycling around my home area of the New Forest in southern England.
I've also spent several months Workawaying in France and Sicily.
I'm happy working by myself but I very much enjoy working with others and learning new skills, or just new perspectives. It's always good to hear someone else's view point and share experiences.

I retired from the rat-race over 6 years ago and have to say I've had the best, most fulfilling, times since then. I've revisited many places from previous holidays or trips within the UK but have also managed to see some new places -- including Ecuador and Tanzania, both of which were pretty physical 'holidays' - including hiking the Inca Trail and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.

Was noch ...

I've undertaken previous workaway volunteering (pre-covid) and numerous other volunteering opportunities within the UK. eg. for the RSPB and wildlife/forestry and local charitable organisations.
Outside of volunteering I enjoy hiking and cycling. In July I cycled down through France into Spain during a 4 week holiday, using a mix of wild camping and paid accommodation. In September I'll be cycling the Outer Hebrides and then plan to visit some of the other Scottish Islands before heading south to the English Lake District.
