Hi Jeremy,
Just thought i’d say hi and welcome.
I’m actually in a very similar situation to yourself, Moved to Harrogate two years back, but family life and work very much got in the way, as well as getting settled into a new house. (And actually a new member on here really, this is actually my first post.)
I’ve always loved the outdoors, and have done a fair amount of walking, but wanted to move into the mountaineering and climbing side of things more, and possibly some wild camping.
I was hoping 2020 was going to be the year i got started, but sadly Covid19 has largely put a stop to things so far, and made it largely impossible to meet new people to grow potential experiences. I don’t know about you, but its made all the more frustrating knowing the Dales and the Lakes are so close to Harrogate, and the fact we had such amazing weather during lockdown.
anyway, welcome to the site, and hopefully things will start moving again soon.
All the best.
Steve
