Welcome to sharkey's dream |
|
I share a passion like many others for the Lake District fells. Ever since I started my walking career seventeen years ago, I have always wanted to share my own personal experience with you.
My aim is to deliver an accurate account of the day's events from fell, to page, where I hope the enthusiasm that I felt on the day reflects back to the reader along with a sense of my own personality, which I feel is important as a means of not detaching walker, from the reader.
I hope all this makes some kind of sense. Please feel free to contact me by using the e-mail address provided below. |
