I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Carlisle.

My Message: Hi to All,
Looking to join up with fellow walkers, particularly in the Lake District, but would consider the Highlands, Wales, Yorkshire Dales and North Yorks moors too. Like to keep a steady pace (no route marching!) but also like to savour the views and have a cuppa! Great to finish in a tea shop or pub and sample the local ale.
Quite chatty but can be quiet too... especially on the uphills! If you fancy meeting up, drop me a line.

I am a Walker, in my late 50s, based near Malvern.

My Message: Slim, fit, cheerful and unconventional Worcestershire man with old cottage on Malvern Hills (ideal walking centre) seeks female companion for all kinds of low-budget walking adventures, long or short, anywhere in UK, from wild camping or bothying in the moors and mountains to finding geocaches along shores, canals and riverside paths. Possible cycle trips too (I have a Brompton folding bike). I'm a life member of both English Heritage and the YHA. Also like NT properties, morris dancing, ceilidhs, railways, board games and card games. Modest income from my publications about castles, churches, abbeys, ancient monuments and walking trails. My interests complement each other without dividing lines between work and leisure activities. Good navigator with 1:50, 000 maps for almost all of Britain Isles. National Trails still to do include Cotswold Way, South Downs Way, Pennine Bridleway and southern section of SW coast path. I’m a carnivore, don’t drink much alcohol, don’t smoke and don’t own a car. I’m not tall, and not a particularly fast walker or cyclist.
August 2012 update: companion(s) wanted for backpacking trips Sept-Oct 2012 to include Northumbrian coastal castles, central section of Offa's Dyke Path, & maybe Devon & Dorset.

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Taunton.

My Message: Hi, I'm Chris a single male who walks mostly around the South West. Quantocks, Exmoor and Dartmoor being favourites with a trip to Lake District most every year. I am looking to try new and familiar ventures ideally with a friendly female companion. I am active with a walking based youth group and get lots of male company this time of year whilst training but miss female banter. I am reasonably fit and well behaved and can do a good impression of a dog panting whilst slogging up hills laden with kit. I'm happy walking with dogs but don't have one myself. Navigation is good but happy to share. I like gentle strolls with coffee or a pub in mind to hiking with overnight gear.

I am a Walker, in my early 40s, based near Chorley.

My Message: Hi
I'm i guess a keen walker, did the Pennine Way last August, which was amazing, looking to do something similar this summer too.
I Spend much of my walking time in the lakes, dales, or peaks or snowdonia, but really want to take a couple of weekends in scotland to experience some of the walking on offer up there.
I like a little bit of scrambling and would like to develop this. I've done strinding and sharp edge and loved them both (sharp i found a bit more exposed at one point!)
I have also some wild camping which i really want to do some more of, i think it would be more fun with company mind you!
I pretty limited to weekends, evenings i guess and friday afternoons. Drop me a line with your ideas, I'm thinking of the Ravenber Way this summer, 200 miles from Ravensglass to Berwick, not as far as the Pennine Way this time, fancy joining me?!

Mark

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Manchester.

My Message: Hi. I'm looking for a walking companion, male or female as I either walk on my own or in a group. I like to stop, take breath, 'admire the view' and feel the breeze in my face with shared quiet enjoyment as well as having a natter and laugh along the way with a picnic or pub/cuppa at the end. I did a long multiday hike a couple of years ago but fitness has dropped and would like to build it up again. Saturdays/Sundays or the ocassional midweeker would suit me and I don't mind travelling.

I am a Walker, in my late 50s, based near Glasgow.

My Message: Hi.
I always tell folks that I don't have a tick list of Munros, but..... I enjoy walking in the hills, Scotland and Lakes, and really like finding new places - hence the Munros. Honestly.
Happy to walk in all weathers; after all, if you aren't out there and the sun comes out, you have only yourself to blame. Summer, winter, autumn, spring, all seasons.
My walking companion has had to take things easier, doctor's orders, so I am looking for someone who isn't going to sprint up the hills, but rather take time to enjoy, and to explore. We'll soon know if we match for speed. Weekends are best for me.
Hope to hear from you.
D

I am a Walker, in my early 60s, based near Leeds.

My Message: Hi my name is Ollie, i'm a 60yr old retired lady, fit and active. I am in a walking club and also a running club but would love to meet both male and female fellow walkers who are able to walk during the week as well as weekends. I am particularly interested in meeting people who would like to walk Long Distance Paths. I did the Furness Way last year stopping at hostels and B and B's and really enjoyed it and would love to do more. Although I am reasonable with a map, I haven't the navigational skills or confidence to do mountain walking alone even though i am fit enough to the big Scottish Peaks with the right people ( did some in Glencoe last May). Looking forward to hearing from like minded people

I am a Walker, in my late 50s, based near North Bedfordshire.

My Message: Hi, I'm a single, 57 year old, female, who has just moved from the Derbyshire Peak District to rural Bedfordshire! So I'm missing the hills. I'm looking for a male friend for walking, talking, laughing and that pint/meal at the end of the day. I love walking in wild, empty places and don't mind roughing it occasionally to get to that special place. I completed the Coast to Coast in May and would like to do other trails........preferably using B&Bs! I've walked a lot in Europe, Canada, Patagonia and New Zealand and would love to discover new places. And I've recently discovered the delights of Assynt and Norway. I work full-time, so weekends tend to be reserved for walks. I'm not particularly fast - I like to take in everything around me rather than going on a route march! I'd love to hear from you if you have similar interests.
