I’m an outdoorsy girl, love being active and can’t sit still for long. This does mean however, I own a lot of sports kit and merino thermals but to keep the universe in balance I also have a large library of heels in my wardrobe. And more cocktail dresses than I need.

Hmm... perhaps I can express this another way:
(Gortex X good resting heart rate)/7 or more pairs of impractical pumps and mules X a love of chocolate = a great date

I really enjoy healthy pursuits (running, cycling, skiing and yoga – not at the same time of course) and some of the less healthy ones, again, to ensure equilibrium is achieved. I also have quite a ridiculous sense of humour and love board games.

I love cooking (mostly because I love eating) and at the moment, I’ve given myself the challenge of perfecting short crust pastry.

That said, I do do things other than cook. I spend quite a bit of time running and cycling (everyday to work), speak Spanish badly and plan to improve my rock climbing skills. And have recently done some great trial runs in the Lakes.

I have to admit it, but I think I’m also a bit of geek. I would much rather read New Scientist than Grazia and like to do ‘craft’. Yep knitting and embroidery are part of my skill set and I think it’s cool to make ‘stuff’. Although I am a girly girl with painted toenails and long hair, I don’t watch the soaps nor subscribe to magazines that offer the best bedroom techniques – don’t need them!

I’d love to meet other sporty geeks out there so do get in touch if you’re interested. My ideal date would be tall, fun, active and smarter than the average bear.

Also, I like men to be men. If you take more than 40 mins getting ready, you’ll probably be frustrated that I don’t present myself like a footballer’s wife. If you regularly get hammered or have a propensity for mind games, you’re probably not for me either. I’m looking for fun-loving, uncomplicated, educated men that can laugh at the ridiculous.

I am having a lot of fun. So far I've managed to get a good balance of career/travel/interests and want it to continue. Would love to meet similarly motivated people to share it with.

- seeing the funny side of things
- making human pyramids
- encouraging others to make human pyramids
- working hard
- roughing it
- and dressing up
- silly dancing
- encouraging others to silly dance
- remembering jokes
- buffet breakfasts (eating not preparing)
- writing lists.

Oooh - not sure, never asked but I reckon people notice I'm smiley pretty chatty and good a small talk.

I like real variety of stuff and find it hard to categorise my preferences. I guess I kind of like slightly geeky stuff.

1. Being outside
2. Friends/family
3. Being active
4. Laughter and bad jokes
5. Tea
6. Books/magazines/the internet

Questions!
What can I cook/make next?
Is there a faster way to get to work?
Do other dating sites have 'bait members?' i.e. members that encourage partial sign ups to put in their credit card details...and does this site avoid this as it's free?
What's the Spanish word for that?
Random conspiracy theories.
Work.
People watching - where's he from?, how old is that child?, where did she get that handbag from?
Environmental/climate change stuff... but that can be a bit depressing.

Having a drink or meeting someone for dinner. Usually not a massive night as I cycle home! An ideal Friday would be jumping in a car and getting out of London for the weekend.

I own a glitter tracksuit. It's not for ever day use. Photo evidence has been provided.

Well, you've got this far... message if you think we'll get along.
