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

My Message: Keen experienced walker. Enjoy taking my and others children for walks, especially weekend 2/3 day trips between places - YHA or low cost hotel in winter, wild camping summer / autumn.

Didn't occur to me to ask for adult company till I saw this site; but would be great (with or without my and/or your children). Enjoy doing the mountain guide bit if somewhere I'm familliar with, or happy to just bash along enjoying the scenery. Good at making / adapting plans to conditions - enjoyed getting over some high hills in the Lakes with the wind behind us on a couple of trips this winter. Have 7 seat car so possible to pick up on way. Drop me a line, see what we can arrange.

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

My Message: I now feel like I have more spare time to do the Wainwrights and Munroes. It would be great if someone would like to take up this challenge with me.

I live in the Midlands of England so someone local would be good but I would be pleased to meet up at the walk.

I was thinking of spending a couple of days in the Lakes District for the Wainwrights ie Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. For Scotland I think that I would need to go for about 5 - 7 days at a time.

I do not walk at a very fast pace.

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

My Message: Hi I am Ellen, widowed and live near Hinckley (Leicestershire) although Scotland is my native home. I am looking to make new friends and perhaps find someone special who has a similar outlook on life to me. I enjoy all sorts of walking and have just completed the West Highland Way climbing Ben Nevis as a finale. I have recently been trekking in Nepal in the Annapurna Range BUT I am equally happy exploring the hidden parts of the UK.

My other interests are running, keeping fit, gardening and most things involving the outdoor life. I also enjoy travel to far flung places.

I have a strong sense of adventure and look forward to hearing from anyone who finds my profile interesting!!

Box No: 100610

I am a Walker, in my early 30s, based near Utrecht.

My Message: I'm a 31 year old from the Netherlands and though I travel further afield as well I've found myself returning to Scotland (Highland and Islands) time and again because it's so beautiful! My last hiking trip was to the Western Isles and on the way back we passed beautiful Rum.

Unfortunately, my hiking partner on that trip turned out to be not as fit as both of us had hoped/ expected and though we had a great trip he's not up for another summer hiking. So I'm now looking for someone who'd like to meet up for some hiking on the Isle of Rum in July 2012. I'm up for day hikes or longer overnight hikes (tent or bothy). I don't mind hiking up to 8 hours a day and love a little adventure. However, on longer hikes I do prefer sticking to valleys and passes between peaks rather than the peaks themselves. I'd love to do a smaller peak on a day where there's not a long distance to cover.

Message me if you are interested! :-D

My Message: Hi,
I'm Claire, 47 and reasonably fit living in North Hampshire and wanting to walk more, mainly in my localised area at weekends but also happy to go further afield with longer days. Local groups like Ramblers aren't really my thing as prefer a faster pace and smaller groups, one/two people, good conversation and have fun and fresh air. Currently walking about 8-10 miles but wanting to do more and explore new areas. Haven't read maps for years but happy to learn.
Get in touch.

I am a Walker, in my early 30s, based near Newcastle Upon Tyne.

My Message: Hi All,

I'm Ross; I've been walking for some time now, and am posting this message for two reasons:

I'm interested in meeting a few new people (male or female, any ages - female prefered (;-)) but all welcome) in and around the North for more local walks (usually ending in a good pub!) and possibly further afield.

I'd also like to do the Three Peaks Challenge (or possibly the Yorkshire Three Peaks as a beginner option) this year but, one by one first - as it's quite a step up for me - and I don't just mean the 4411ft of Ben Nevis!

I want to do this as I'm now in my 30's, I want to push myself more and feel like I've achieved more with my life, so I'd like to meet a few people who feel the same - or equally people who just like those walks and would like to do them again, again all welcome.

Thanks for reading and Happy Walking!

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

My Message: Hi,
I'm Graham, new to this site, but thought i'd give it a go!
I'm 47, and a farmer, which keeps me fit, and contrary to popular belief, we do get time off!! I have a million hobbies, but walking, and especially up in the hills and mountains of this beautiful country of ours is my passion.
Do have some walking friends, but most would rather sit infront of a TV, so looking for more like minded people, with the same passion, who love being on top of the roof of the world :)
Have hill walked everywhere, but have recently discovered Snowdonia, which is strange, as it's been on my doorstep most of my life, and i'm in love hehe.
If you fancy a good yomp up a mountain, some chat and some laughs... and maybe food and drink in a pub on the way home, then what are you waiting for, come and say hi :)

My Message: Hi I'm Carole and based in East Yorkshire. I'm looking at getting a group together for walking in Britain and abroad. Looking for like minded people who love to walk and have a bit of an adventure. I've walked most of the highest hills here and covered many of the long distance paths. I’m separated so looking at new things in life to achieve. Nothing is better to end the day after a long walk at the pub for a well deserved drink. I love good conversation and have a gosh. Look forward to hearing back from anyone who is interested in forming a group.

I am a Walker, in my early 60s, based near Portree, Isle Of Skye.

My Message: Hi,
I live near Portree in the Isle of Skye, but have no-one to walk with. It's usually because all my friends are working when I want to get out and about. I just don't do enough walking, and finding someone to go with would give me the incentive to get out more and enjoy the countryside and the fresh air.

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

My Message: Hi, I'm a 54 year old female based near Farnham, looking for male/female company for more regular walking in Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex, Dorest. Local walking groups are rather large and I prefer more one to one conversation, probably a faster pace too. I tend to use pre planned walks as I'm not the best map reader - happy to learn from an expert though! Available to walk at least every other weekend, and occasionally in the week, especially during summer months while the evenings are lighter. I'm reasonably fit (Gym and cycle) and happy to walk 8-10 miles or more. Love walking holidays uk or abroad, walked Hadrian's Wall two years ago. Would love to meet more liked minded people to share the beauty of uk countryside. Pub stops are equally important but I'm not adverse to the odd picnic! I look forward to hearing from you!

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

My Message: Hello out there, my name is Mike, I’m aged 56 and three quarters, have my own teeth and many original fittings. I’m looking for someone to share walks of all kinds but especially in the hills. I’ve been a walker for over 40 years and despite some dodgy knees and a slipped disc I can still manage a long day out, enjoy some light scrambling and I can use a map and compass. I usually walk solo but would enjoy some company now and again and at the end of the day perhaps a pie and a pint, or a cassoulet and claret, or a toastie and a cup of tea. Hopefully a walking partner will encourage me to get out more than I manage at the moment. I work full-time but can manage an occasional week day as well as weekends. I will be in the Lake District (staying near Patterdale) from 20-27 May and the Highlands (in Glen Nevis) from 10-17 June if anyone can manage it; short notice I know.

I live near Charnock Richard Services on the M6 (sounds lovely doesn’t it!!).

Like to do fairly strenuous walks but then happy to tootle sometimes (but my strenuous may be easy to someone else so who knows!!).
I like camping and weekends away. But I can only do every other weekend.

I am easy going and friendly (well like to think I am!!) and happy to walk in a group or with any individual. I often have a dog with me.

Just joined this site April 11 so hope people get in touch.
Have fun Jules.

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

My Message: Hi, my name is Petra. I have a lively Springer Spaniel who needs his long walks every weekend (and shorter ones during the week). I work full time so weekends are when I can go out walking. I enjoy gentle walks (anything from about 4-8 miles) and can cope with a bit of a gradient. (I'm not a Muntro bagger!) It's also nice to have a wee picnic stop about half way and possibly a coffee stop as well!. I am looking for a like minded person who would like to join me walking at weekends. I don't mind travelling and staying in dog friendly B & B's or small hotels as that way you get to see more of the country. I also have my own tent with electric hook up etc for summer camping. I look forward to hearing from you.
