I can cope with a little bit of scrambling if it is short and there are no steep drops. I'm happy to walk in all weathers - sunshine, snow, hail, wind & rain - bring it on.

I am a Male Walker, in my early 50s, based near Stone hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi, I enjoy walking in Staffordshire and Shropshire, evenings and weekends.
I prefer gentle strolls of between two and ten miles. Not too keen on the more route march style of walking.
I'm a keen photographer and like to stop occasionally to take photos of the views (only for a minute or so, not an hour setting up kit :-) )
I enjoy canal walks and I don't mind the rain as long as it's not torrential :-)

When it comes to Scrambling & Edges I'm OK with the occasional edge or scramble but don't go looking for it. I prefer warm, dry & sunny weather but can cope with the odd shower. I like walking with dogs but do not have one of my own. I'd say my map reading & navigation skills are pretty good. I can drive and have a car.

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 70s, based near Nottingham hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: I live South of the Peak District. I know it really well and love it, but equally love walking in Wales, The Lakes, Yorkshire, Northumbria and other parts too. I first got the walking bug whilst doing a charity walk in Snowdonia in 1998 (Crib Goch at 4 a.m.). I'm happy walking on mountains, hilltops and along valleys, canals, rivers and dales. I walk to chill and enjoy what's there and around me, not to race to the end. What would make my day complete though is some good company to share the views, some good conversation (serious or silly), laughter and after walk refreshments or a meal. I'm just into my 70's but am very fit and am younger in appearance and character. I can get along with most people of all ages. I am vegan but whilst it would be lovely to meet a vegan or veggie, it isn't a prerequisite. I generally like to walk between 5-15 miles I'm very chilled, have a quick wit and great sense of humour. I drive and don't see anywhere on the mainland as too far. My other interests are landscape photography, art, city and country breaks and the theatre to mention a few but always happy to try something new. Regards. Chris

I am a Male Walker, in my late 50s, based near Malvern hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hello, my name is Adrian. I am looking for a walking partner for local, regional or even national walks. Maybe even overseas! I've recently moved to the Malvern Hills area (Worcestershire) where there are many interesting walks over hills,through woods and along rivers so do come along and visit! I enjoy all kinds of walking, from low level meandering along a wooded valley to scrambling in the Lake District. I also enjoy camping, in the right weather (!), and cycling. I've been camping and walking around the picturesque Tywyn area of mid Wales recently.

I am a Male Walker, in my late 40s, based near Shrewsbury hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: I mix and match my walks, so that can mean anything from a short river stroll to a long distance path,I'm planning to do the Great Glen Way soon(ish). I completed a month long walk in Spain earlier this year but that was quite an unusual one for me.

I also do short trips away walking (or mostly walking) several times a year where I based in one place, again camping. I'm only a couple of hours from the Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia.

A few years ago I rearranged my life so I now have a lot of flexibility in my life, the chances are that I cam fit in with your schedule.

It's not all walking, and in truth I'm not hyperactive, so I do a some overseas travel which doesn't necessarily include strenuous hikes. Last tear I did a trip to Moroccan Sahara with a vehicle. Recently I booked the cheapest flight that I could find to India and then worked out some approximate travel plans around that.

As you may have noticed, I ticked the box to say that I am looking for walking friends but I would be happy if someone special came along. If you think you might be that someone special' then I'm happy to share a bit more about myself.

I hope to hear from you soon :)

I am a Male Walker, in my early 70s, based near Manchester hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi, I'm ideally looking for an easy-going female to become a regular walking companion. I enjoy say 8 - 12 mile walks of what might be termed 'medium' grade but will go for the occasional more challenging trip. Being retired I can be reasonably flexible re weekdays or weekends, again ideally within a reasonable drive of Manchester; i.e. Lakes, Lancs, Peaks.

I say my map-reading skills are average but my investment in an OS Map App has so far kept me from going astray! I'm happy to put in a bit of effort to get the best out of the scenery, and have a bit of a natter and a pint or otherwise as just rewards at the end of the day.

Thanks / Dave

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Manchester hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi, my name's Frank and I'm just the wrong side of 60 - or the right side depending on your viewpoint!

Four years ago I rediscovered walking and fell back in love with the great outdoors. I've spent much of that time in the Lakes, the Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales and on long distance walks such as the Coast to coast and the Pennine Way.

Each year I choose a set of goals to complete, in 2023 I climbed every Ethel and visited every trig point in the Peak District and completed over half of the Pennine Way, this year I've walked the Coast to coast and have almost finished the GM Ringway, a 200 mile set of paths round Manchester. I've yet to decide what next year holds in store, though Hadrians Wall is whispering to me and I've one eye on the West Highland way and the other on the Dales Way in Yorkshire.

During this time I've walked alone, with family and friends and in organised groups. Along the way I've met many interesting people and after stumbling on this site I'm hoping to find walking companions with whom to share a pleasant day in the fresh air with some good company and some great tales to hear and tell.

I work full time so most of my excursions are at the weekend but I can get out on summer evenings round Manchester, though I'd have to work round other interests such as partner dancing. If you think a steep ascent is tough a couple of Argentine tango lessons will soon redefine your sense of difficulty!

I am a Female Walker, in my late 50s, based near Ludlow hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hello, I am looking for male/female walking friends. As I work all week it would mainly be for weekend walking, whether a day walk or an weekend away. If you are local to me then happy to do some evening walks in the week.

I would say I have a good level of fitness, map skills get me by (most of the time!).

I am happy on most terrains in any weather and any area at a pace to enjoy the surroundings. I like doing trails, either as a linear walk or doing in sections and making a circular walk.

In an ideal world it would be good to meet some walk mates to plan some trips for in the UK or overseas(open to ideas).

Would be great to hear from you.

I am a Male Walker, in my late 60s, based near Menston hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Dear fellow walkers
I'm a retired teacher living in Wharfedale hoping to meet like-minded individual(s) who share my passion for the countryside and the environment and would like a walking companion for the odd day out to the Dales initially.
I'm an experienced fell-walker and did MLC part 1 some time ago and certainly prefer maps to satnavs. However I also enjoy more modest valley walks (12-15 miles) and did the Offas Dyke path a few years ago.
I'm also a musician (singer and composer),keen gardener, environmentalist (CAT member), and amateur foraging mycologist who enjoys debate and discussion as well as silent observation of birds and wildlife when the time is right!
I have an electric car, largely solar powered and live 5 minutes walk from Menston station.
I'm walking the Hadrians wall coast to coast in the second week of September with HF holidays so need to improve my stamina and would welcome a companion for a 15 mile full day in the Yorkshire dales next week!

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Mid Devon hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: I am looking to meet people to walk with mainly on Exmoor and Dartmoor but I would also be keen to visit other areas. I have done over 80 Munros including all of the ones on The Cullin but haven't been that way for a while and am a bit less fit now! I enjoy relaxed company (not a route march) to take in the surroundings with interesting happy people. I don't take myself too seriously and am up for new experiences and challenges. It is good to stop off at the odd pub however tea rooms seem to appeal more now as alcohol gives me migraines ☹️ however tea rooms tend not to have roaring fires so I struggle to decide!

I have two very friendly but bouncy dogs who I walk with but conversation is very limited! I struggle to find folk who want to go for long rambles over the moor but I just love being up there.

I am work part time so am often available weekdays and weekends.

Please get in touch if you want relaxed, friendly company for a walk but please do remember that I have got two very enthusiastic dogs so it would be better if you are a dog lover!

I am a Male Walker, in my early 60s, based near Hull hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Used to spend lots of time walking all the main outdoor areas (living in Manchester there were lots !) and long-distance paths (Pennine Way, Offa's Dyke Path, Southern Upland Way, Cleveland Way, C to C)

Like a lot of people I was initially captivated by the Wainwright guides and am so glad I grew up in an age where there was no internet..less information but more mystique. You didn't often see photos of mountain summits, just line drawings, so there was extra incentive to reach one !

More recently have done more one-day challenge walks like the Shropshire 6 Summits, Malvern Marathon

Had marvellous weeks up in Skye on the Cuillin, the heady days of scrambling up Clach Glas on Bla Bheinn

Go to quite a few gigs and sing in a local community choir.

Studied French at uni

Interested in complementary medicine.

After doing the C to C cycle route in 2018, the first lockdown was a bit of a revelation for me, getting out on the bike every morning and exploring the beautiful byways of the Yorkshire Wolds.

Still predominantly a walker as I find it more sociable, but keen to do more cycling.

Used to be quite a keen peak-bagger but more bothered about quality of walk, points of interest, or anything quirky en-route to just ticking things off these days. Although I do one-day challenge walks from time to time, more often than not I'll just do anything up to 15 miles.

I work freelance but things are quiet at the moment so flexible on times.

I don't drink at all but don't mind if anybody else does, someone has to drive ;) do enjoy my food though, have to keep the engine stoked ;)

Prefer walking in small numbers e.g 1 to 4 rather than in large groups

My Preferred Walk Grades*: 1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8:9:

My Preferred Walk Areas:
North East England; North West England; Yorkshire; The English Midlands;
(click each link to see other walkers wanting to walk there)

A bit more about me:

I quite enjoy Scrambling & Edges but don't like too much exposure. I'm happy to walk in all weathers - sunshine, snow, hail, wind & rain - bring it on. I like walking with dogs but do not have one of my own. Even if I say so myself, I consider my map reading & navigation skills to be excellent. I can drive and have a car.

I am also interested in:

• Peak Bagging - where the aim is to climb all the hills or mountains on a particular list such as 'bagging' all the Wainwrights or Munros;
• Long Distance Path Walking - Multi-day walks like The Pennine Way, Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk;
• Road Cycling

I am not actively looking for anyone other than a new walking companion but if that right person came along . . .

I am a Female Walker, in my early 60s, based near Cardiff/swansea hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hello, thanks for dropping by.

Looking for some upbeat walking buddies to share great walks, beautiful views and hopefully a few laughs along the way.

I walk in all weathers and have an impressive range of muddy footwear. I walk 5 miles daily with my dog and enjoy a weekly 10 miler when I have company. I can manage longer distances, but prefer to stick to 12 miles max so I am able to walk unaided down the stairs the following day ;).

I've recently semi retired so free Thursdays to Sundays! I'm dipping my toes into camping again after a long while and loving it.

If you're in or around S Wales, let's get out there. I hope to walk with you very soon!

My Preferred Walk Grades*: 1:2:3:4:5:6:

A bit more about me:

When it comes to Scrambling & Edges I'm OK with the occasional edge or scramble but don't go looking for it. I'm happy to walk in all weathers - sunshine, snow, hail, wind & rain - bring it on. I like walking with dogs and will bring my own. To be honest, my map reading & navigation skills are a bit averagely average. I can drive and have a car.

I am also interested in:

• Camping on Campsites - Camping where there is a shop, toilets, showers & possibly a pub;

Important: For the avoidence of doubt I am definitely not looking for anything other than someone to go walking with.

I am a Female Walker, in my late 60s, based near Leeds hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi i would like to meet someone male or female to walk with, not bothered about age just someone with a good sense of humour. Must be chatty. I am Liz by the way I started walking a few years ago after the death of my husband, I have found that I love the Freedom and sense of achievement you gain from a tough walk. I have two dachshunds Lily and Ella they are good for 10 miles a bit like me ( we did Whernside at the back end of last year ) it nearly killed me but now I am hooked I love the Yorkshire dales and moors some parts of South Yorkshire, I am open to anywhere really I love exploring new places
Nothing too strenuous ( mountaineering is out ) as I have dodgy knees but I am more than willing to have a go.My ideal walk would have a pub or a tearoom at the end of it. I just want to get fitter and enjoy our beautiful countryside I am retired now so anytime is ok, thanks for looking Liz ps I will get my boots cleaned and ready and#128094

A bit more about me:

I really don't like Scrambling & Edges - they are defintely not for me. I'm happy to walk in most weathers but do not like snow and ice. I like walking with dogs and will bring my own. Sadly, my map reading & navigation skills are pretty hopeless. I can drive and have a car.

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Liverpool hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi my name is Lee and I live Liverpool.
I have decided to update this message as I have walked quite a few routes now thanks to a very good mate Tom who I met through the site. For me as much as I love walking but I also love admiring the view, maybe sneak in a little bit of rest while having a rest.
I do have friends but they are really not interested in the idea of walking, not sure why, maybe they're lazy.

The downside is I dont drive so would need to be able to get to the walks via public transport. So if I can get there via a train it's ideal.

If you are interested in helping me out, I am more than happy to pay my way :-)

A bit more about me:

I quite enjoy Scrambling & Edges but don't like too much exposure. I prefer warm, dry & sunny weather but can cope with the odd shower. I'm not bothered about dogs one way or the other. If pushed, I'd say my map reading & navigation skills are rather poor at best. I don't drive.

I am also interested in:

• Long Distance Path Walking - Multi-day walks like The Pennine Way, Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk;
• Back Packing - Multi-day walks carrying all your gear & wild camping;

Important: For the avoidence of doubt I am definitely not looking for anything other than someone to go walking with.

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Coventry hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi, I am looking for pleasant, easy going male or female walking friends preferably located in The Midlands, but not limited to this area as I'm more than willing to travel for an adventurous day out. Someone who loves the outdoors and likes to have a gentle chat, someone who can listen as well as talk, who has a good sense of humour and who isn't averse to a bit of adventure. I love to take advantage of the lighter evenings in the Spring and Summer to walk locally (within a 20ish miles radius) during the week. I work a couple of days a week, but can fit in daytime walks on other weekdays and at weekends. Happy to discuss any possibilities. It would be great to hear from you. Best wishes and happy walking, Mo (Maureen).

I am a Male Walker, in my late 60s, based near Clitheroe hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi,
My name's Michael, I'm in my mid sixties, six feet tall and I'm looking for a female companion to share my interests which include photography,gardening, reading, antique shops and exploring our beautiful countryside.
I'm fit and active and still working in a job I enjoy which involves being outside all year round.
I own my own detached home in the beautiful Ribble valley, I'm solvent, single with no children or baggage.
I'm honest, considerate and caring with a good sense of humour, ( you need one of those with my job!! ). I have nice manners and morals and am very respectful
I have a two year old border collie whose going to be trained as a Search and Rescue dog.

It would be lovely to find a lady with the same outlook in life with whom I can talk to and enjoy companiable silences.
I have always enjoyed being in the hills and mountains and spent 15 years as a member of a busy mountain rescue team, so I've a good idea of what im doing out there!!
Ive travelled fairly extensively throughout Europe and done on ortwo big mountains over the years.

These days though are spent at a more sedate pace, I love the Scottish mountains and venture up there two or three times a year, but most weekends I'm up in the Howgills near Sedburgh, the western Yorkshire dales or this lovely area where I live.

I'm not interested in joining a ramblers club or walking with a big group of people...they're not for me. I do go walking occasionally with two or three very close friends but it would be nice to find someone on the same wavelength who would like to share some happy days in the hills come rain or shine.

I am a Male Walker, in my late 40s, based near Rotherham hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: I am looking to meet people who own boots and wellies and don't mind getting them covered in mud. I am happy to meet people of any age who shared a love of the outdoors and doesn't mind me stopping from time to time to take photographs.

The Peak District is on my doorstep, but have walked in areas including Wales, the Yorkshire Dales, the Lake District, Assynt in Scotland. I have been up Ben Nevis, Snowdon, and Scafell Pike, but would happily walk there again.

I have done the three peaks in the Yorkshire Dales but over a couple of days.

I work full time in a college, but school holidays and weekends I am free. Evening walks are possible if they are local.

My level of fitness is good and improving, though that is a story to share during a walk.

I am a life member of English Heritage and the National Trust. As such I can visit such places with a guest. I love photography, history, wildlife etc. I would rather not talk about education or computing (Unless its for a good cause).

My walking aims are to look at amazing views, Camp in amazing places including a plot of land I can wild camp on in Scotland, and just enjoy it all.

If you are cold, wet, have been rained on all day and can still smile then anything is possible.
