Fellwanderers (Imperial Hiking Society): Co-President

It's me, Daniel Hesk, Deputy President and gaunt Victorian hell-child.

Would you dare elect me? I who have walked alone the highest, foggiest reaches of this awful country? I who have stood barefoot in countless rivers faster than thought and colder than hate? I who once crossed the M25 on foot? I who once walked twenty-five hours without sleep? I who nearly fell off a cliff in the mist last month? I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Union promises on fire off the shoulder of Coniston. I watched the last buses glitter in the dark near Bannau Brycheiniog. All these moments will be lost in time, because our website keeps going defunct.

The society ever expands. This year we have struggled with weather, with trains, with the Union's foul tyranny. And as Deputy President so far I have contributed only madness, exhilaration, and confusion. Vote me for Co-President and I will take it so much further:

  • Some 50+ kilometre walks
  • Night hikes (embrace the darkness)
  • Trips to the really weird parts of Scotland

Speaking more cough sincerely, I do adore this society and it's been a genuine pleasure to help it function over the last year. I'd be happy and honoured to continue, so I hope you elect me. All hail The Extension. Fear for your ankles.
