Indroducing me…

Hi I`m Paul Byrne pictured here with my wife Sian on top of Skiddaw in the Lake District. That`s a clue to our passion of climbing mountains, hiking, fell walking call it what you want. The Lake District is our favorite area but we all love hiking in Scotland, Snowdonia, Brecon Beacons, The Peak District and closer to our home in Lichfield Cannock Chase.

We have also traveled and hiked in many of the National Parks in America and also Canada, Switzerland and France to name a few.

My other interests are photography, wildlife,football (Tranmere Rovers), rugby and reading
We have two grown up sons, Adrian & David

This blog will be a mixture of our highlights going forward and looking back using photographs of memorable and interesting bits of my past.
