Hey I'm Alec! I live in Millom, a small town on the edge of the Lake District and located on the coast. I'm currently planning a cycling trip across Europe this summer starting in the UK 🇬🇧 and ending in Turkey 🇹🇷. I also enjoy getting out into nature and exploring the beautiful Lake District which is right on my doorstep, ether hiking in the Mountains or swimming in the Lakes. Ummm what else 🤔 I'm also a qualified skydiver with 1600+ jumps. So if you're in the Lakes and need a place to stay, hiking guide or want some advice from a local of some of the best places to see, just give me a shout.
