Find New Walking & Hiking Friends & Companions and Walking Groups - The Message Board

Box No: 83460

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

My Message: Hi, I live in Derbyshire and I am genuinely looking for a male companion to share all there is to love and enjoy in walking and discovering new experiences. I have loved walking for many years, and has always been my love and a way of keeping fit and healthy. I love walking in any weather and as often as possible. I enjoy both gentle walking, stoping to take in views and breath the fresh air, and longer all day walks which are more challenging.

I love walking holidays, and I would very much like to explore further. There are so many areas of the country I have yet to discover, and I am looking for a like minded male to share these times with. I would love to plan a walking holiday this year.

I am free to walk most week-ends, and also some evenings when the evenings are lighter.

I would love to hear from you if you would like to share my love of walking, and the discovery of many new walks up and down the country.

Thank you for reading my message, Olwyn.

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Newcastle Upon Tyne.

My Message: Hi I'm a reasonably fit 50+ lady looking for walking companion(s) or a group of walkers in the North East of England. Just to get away from the same old home to work routine that goes on week after week. My partner thinks getting from A to B should be done by the quickest and fastest route possible. (Why walk when you can get there in a rocket!) Have previously done some walking/hiking in North Yorks and Lake District and Northumberland. I'm free most weekends, but would also like to organise a group walk for a few days. I know the weather's not great at the moment, but meeting up just to talk about organising walks could be fun and could be done over a couple of drinks in a warm friendly pub? If you fancy walking or talking about walking, get in touch.

I am a Walker, in my mid 40s, based near Dollar.

My Message: Hi, I am new to hillwalking but very keen, my husband won't come with me and I don't fancy going alone so would love a walking partner. I don't mind age or sex but would just like somebody easygoing and relaxed to keep me company. I work full time but as I am self employed I can book days off anytime although midweek would suit best. I live in clackmannanshire so somebody nearby would be good.

I am a Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Aberdeen.

My Message: Hello

I have become fairly passionate about walking since I took it up 4 years ago and am hoping to climb some Munros next year, having tackled Ben Macdui and Braeriach recently - not to 'bag' them but to find unknown areas of Scotland (despite being Scottish born and bred!). Also would like to do the 'haute' route and G10 in Europe now the family are independant.
My pace is moderate as I like to look about, but steady, have recently come back from trekking in Peru which was a great experience. Planning on being free from work Fridays into Saturdays. Am a novice but enthusiastic map reader who has very basic sat nav skills.
Although I am a member of a walking group, it is good to walk/chat to a companion. Look forward to hearing
from any like minded folk.

I am a Walker, in my late 40s, based near Southampton.

My Message: Hi, I really enjoy walking but am generally too enthusiastic for most of my friends. I would like to meet a like minded walker to move me out of my comfort zone and support me to improve my fitness through regular, active walks (preferably involving a hill or two!) Biggest problem is that I live in Hampshire and obviously need to drive further afield to encounter any real altitude! Dorset coast is fabulous and only an hour away as indeed are the South Downs. Am interested in exploring further afield but would like opportunity to meet like-minded souls. I have been a walker off and on most of my life but would really love to move up a gear or two. If you think we might hit it off, would be great to hear from you.

I am a Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Helensburgh.

My Message: Hi, I am a newly single female living close to Loch Lomond and have recently started walking. Its difficult being too adventurous on your own so I am looking for a male of similar age to enjoy the walks. It would be good if he was a more experienced walker as I would like to go further afield- even down to the Lakes as I believe it is beautiful there although I live on the edge of beautiful walking country. I just love being outdoors, for the smells, views and of course the glass of wine at the end ! I am happy to travel.

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

My Message: Hi fellow walkers, I am a fit female walker with increasingly more time at weekends to pursue my passion of hill walking and long distance paths now that the kids are independent! I took up walking over 10 years ago when the old knees starting to creak from too much running and love it - rain or shine. I mostly walk on my own, as few of my mates have the time or inclination for a long day. Recently did the 3 Peaks (just under the 24 hours) and enjoyed Snowdon so much I went back the following weekend to do the 'Horseshoe'. South West Coast is a favourite Long Distance Path and I would like to tackle many more. Enough chat, I would love to meet up with fellow walkers for some company and an excuse to stop and have a beer at the end of a walk. Angie

I am a Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Darlington.

My Message: Hi everyone, my name is Janet. I really enjoy walking but most of my friends are married and have family commitments so cannot get out and about every weekend with them. It would be great to meet other like minded people to enjoy walks and the outdoors, finishing up at the end of a good walk with some social chat and maybe a drink and a pub meal. During the week is difficult to get any walking in as I work full time. I live in the north east, county durham and would be prepared to travel and take in walks in other areas. I have walked in northumberland, north yorkshire, peak district and the lakes, on the flat and up the hills and dales. I've just come back from the lakes and enjoyed walking and climbing up pike biscoe... i think thats what it was called! If anyone would like to join me or for me to join with you on some of your walks please get in touch. ps... am not a very good map reader but willing to learn. would like to go on a map reading course at some point. happy walking!

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

My Message: Hi,

My name is Hazel. I am very new to walking but reasonably fit and keen to raise my fitness level and to find my way around the lovely area I live in as well as discover other areas which appeal to me. I currently work full-time so mostly weekends but I can get occasional week days off without too much notice or fuss. Enjoy my own company but find walking alone just a little too lonely and would love to find a companion to walk with and to share the experience, the scenery and some lovely coffee/cake/lunch etc. after our walk.

I generally find that I take a little longer than most to complete walks. Thats not because I am flagging... usually just because I like to look around me at the view. So if you like to breath the air, look around, not clock-watch (and eat cake) please do get in touch.
Hazel

I am a Walker, in my late 40s, based near Grantown-on Spey.

My Message: Hello'
I'm a 48 yr old fairly quiet and easygoing male, married with 2 youngish kids and living in the Cairngorms. Would like some keen but laid back male or female hillgoing company which doesn't ask repeately 'how far is it to go now'! (though chocolate rewards could be provided on hilltops).
Been hillwalking/climbing for 30+ yrs with increasingly creaky joints but still really enjoy longer hillwalks/scrambling/bothying/camping in Scotland. Also try and get to Europe for a couple of weeks each year- like trips to the Slovenian Alps and Pyrenees last year.
Being 'robbed' of my wife as an hill partner, shes a runner now and i mainly walk solo but i'd love to develop other friendships to plan and share good times, humour and scenery be it on hills /Hebridean islands/backpacking or perhaps via ferratas/easyish climbing.
Self employed and can take time away midweek-family permitting.
Be great to hear from you..

My Message: I'm a fit 50 year-old female who recently took up climbing munros and corbetts.

My Message: Well tired of walking on my own. Like another to take deep breaths with. I am 46, fit, sane and used to regular walks weekly for exercise and then longer ones weekends and hols.

Anyone of a simular mind, who would like someone to walk with, please get in touch. Looking forward to hearing from someone. A sense of humour is essential. Joanne or Jo

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

My Message: I'm 42yrs old (single), with time to spare away from work. New to walking in some ways, but equally excited about exploring new spaces and places across the UK with my camera to hand. I would like to make new walking friends across the country, in particular those with an interest in photography. My last walk was to Snowdon from Anglesey, up a couple of routes and back to Anglesey; I really enjoyed it. I’m up for most things when it comes to walking, especially when it comes to meeting new people and enjoy the walk with a smile, and flask of something to warm the cockles along the way.
