I would describe myself as capable, practical, reasonably intelligent and somewhat unconventional. I dress for comfort, don't do collar and tie and really don't get this designer label stuff!
My real escape is walking, I find the space and isolation of the countryside a great way to detach from the modern world, especially if exploring somewhere new. I also have other interests ranging from complimentary therapies to local history. I've replaced my classic car with a classic camper van, giving me the freedom to take short breaks whenever I want. Although not obsessive about any of my activities walking probably does need to be a shared interest. I'm not into the endurance stuff (more a relaxed wanderer) but neither am I a dog walker trying to look interesting.
I've tried and rejected the career thing, having serviced aircraft while still a teenager then managing at the age of 23. If you're looking for a nine to five career man who has exchanged his principles, soul and individuality for a frontal lobotomy, spine removal and Borg Implant just for the sake of a company pension then you'd do well to pass me by. I'm currently earning my living online while working from home and mingling work in with the rest of my life.
I'm open to whatever happens, would love to find that one special lady or just a new friend and walking partner, with no further expectations. If anything more develops, an honest, equal and loyal relationship but still with our own individual space.
I'm probably too honest for my own good but I do have some lifestyle limitations and think it's only right to be upfront to save wasting anyone's time. I have a number of chemical and food sensitivities so need to manage my diet and environment, consequently I don't use hotels or fly so overseas travel doesn't work for me and eating out can be difficult. A relationship with a dog owner or horse rider is probably not practical, I'm fine with (and like) cats. Holidays will be limited to the camper van, mostly frequent short breaks.
On the the plus side:
I don't do unfaithful.
I don't do violence.
I don't do control.
I don't do jealously.
I don't do bigotry.
I don't do debt.
I don't do drugs.
I don't gamble.
I don't smoke.
I'm a light drinker.
Football bores me senseless.
If you're a little bit different, free thinking, down to earth and don't aspire to living in a Legoland housing estate with 2.4 children, a 3 year old Mondeo and half an Alsation dog then I would love to hear from you.
