How to Find New Walking Friends, Partners, Companions & Walking Groups

Want to walk but got nobody to walk with? Not everyone wants to go walking alone. No-one to share the view, no-one to share the experience, no-one to share that warming cup of tomato soup. Besides, all the experts say it is safer to go into the hills & mountains with experienced friends, companions and partners.

Making new friends is never easy - but if we help you meet just one new walking partner you'll be mighty glad you joined.

This is how it works:

Creating your Profile on the Message Board:

Register and Log On and complete our Place a Message Form.

Our Find a New Walking Friend Service has been completely redesigned for 2018 and will ask you lots of questions about what you are looking for and where you like to go walking and hiking. Whether you like short or long walks, if you like scrambling, walking with dogs, camping, hill bagging, walking in the snow and rain . . . all sorts of things to help people like you to find people, well just like you.

Once you have completed our Replies to your Profile on The Message Board: you can publish it on the Message Board.

Your name and email will not be published at any time - even to fellow walkers replying to your message.

Placing a message is free - but you do have to be a current go4awalk.com Account Holder with available credits and Logged On. Placing, or changing, your message profile does not use up any account credits. You can change your message profile as many times as you like but you can only have one message profile per acccount. NB. This is so you know you will only be replying to, and getting responses from, like-minded, fellow walkers who really are genuinely looking for new walking friends and companions.

Charges:

Your message profile will only get replies from current go4awalk.com account holders - so you can be sure that all your responses will be from like-minded genuine fellow walkers who are looking for a walking partner and enjoy walking in the same areas as you do.

Each message profile on the Find New Walking Friends Message Board you reply to uses one credit, whether the message author replies or not. You can use all your credits to reply to message profiles on the Find New Walking Friends Message Board if you choose to. To see what else you can use your account credits for and how it works see - how it works.

Accounts do not have a time limit and last for life or until you have used up all your credits.

Each account entitles you to any combination of our award winning Walk Route Maps; Downloadable GPS Waypoints; Peak Bagging Maps and Tick Lists; our MUST-DO Walk Collections or Find New Walking Friends' contact details until you have used all your credits.

For more details about how the credit system works see How it Works.

Will my Profile on The Message Board disappear when I have used all my credits?

If you use up all your credits your Message Profile will remain on the message board so other account holders can still send replies (see 'Replies to your Profile on the Message Board' above).

However, since you will be unable to Log On, you will unable to update your message profile and it will slowly drop down the message board as newer message profiles are added and/or updated.

You will also be unable to contact the authors of these new message profiles. Periodically, we will contact the authors of message profiles that appear to be dormant and remove the ones from walkers who do not respond.

When you have used up all your credits you will be invited to top up your account when you next Log On.

Testimonials:

The go4awalk.com Find New Walking Friends, Partners and Walking Groups is designed to put walkers who like walking (like you) in touch with fellow walkers who like walking (like you).

It is about forging friendships and sharing the countryside with kindred souls.

We know it works because lots of people mention other go4awalkers they have been walking with in their message replies*.

However, we did receive the following:

'Meeting Somebody Special

I came into UK appr. 6 years ago and since I was always feeling lonely until nearly 2 years ago when I discovered www.go4awalk.co.uk. My biggest hobby is hiking since my childhood and I love nature - it was logical I wanted to find somebody with the same interests. I registered with your website and answered two friendfinder inserts. One of them was a real gem! I found my soulmate. The attraction was immediate. Soon we moved together and now we are planning our wedding. If we got day off from our job and a weather is not so bad, we always go for a walk somewhere nice. Andy is a perfect man for me and he teached me lots about the english countryside. I'm very thankful to you (Andy too), because with your help we met each other. We wish lot of success and luck to you and to your website. Kind regards: MG, Hailsham

So you'll never know if you don't try!
