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!!

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Stockton-on-tees.

My Message: Hi there. I'm hoping to find male or female walking companions for weekend day walking. I must admit, I'm a little out of practice, so you would have to go easy on me at first! My partner and I enjoyed walking together - we have walked in the North Yorkshire Moors, the Yorkshire Dales, The Lake District, Snowdonia, and the Sierra Nevada mountains in Andalucia. But sadly, following a long illness, I lost her to cancer at the start of this year. I do miss walking, but cannot face doing it on my own, so I would be very grateful to any good samaritans out there!

My Message: Hi, I am looking for walking partners. I am willing to travel. I started hiking last year and just love it. I also climb (in doors at the moment but want to get on 'real' climbs this year).

Not overly keen on camping!

Please make contact and we will see what we can arrange. Thank you.

Fairly fit - previous walks include the Yorkshire Dales 3 peaks. Would love to get to know someone who would eventually do some long distance walks with me over several days but I'd need to build my fitness up first!

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 early 50s, based near Otley.

My Message: Hi, at the moment I am primarily interested in walking in the Yorkshire Dales + Peak District. I am trying to build up my fitness so prefer to spend as much time as possible walking and not in the car. I will be traveling further field in the future. I'm keen to hear from anyone who genuinely enjoys relaxed walks in pleasant landscapes. I'm a very flexible person, willing to adjust plans to fit in with other walkers, the weather etc (I'm not obsessive about ticking off routes)

Due to work I spend part of my time in Nottingham and the rest in Yorkshire and I am sometimes available for walking during the week. Mal

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Richmond N.yorks.

My Message: Hi everyone,
I'm new to this group so i'm hoping for some positive responses! I live in the Dales and haven't seen as much of them as i should have done due to not having a walking buddy... or two. I enjoy walking and cycling but find it a bit of a bore going on my own as it's nice to chat and share experiences... and sometimes stop off for some pub grub and a drink!
I enjoy anything from a Sunday stroll to a good brisk walk. I would love to explore more areas and i'm willing to drive to meet up with the right person/group.
Thanks for reading my message and hope to find friendly fellow walkers soon.

My Message: Hello - it's been a while since I've been actively walking. I'm looking for folks to get out into the fresh air with, starting modestly I would think, but I'm keen to build up to more strenuous walks. I am London-based but I am happy to travel to meet up somewhere in the country. Not a dog-owner myself but happy to share the experience with pooches

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

My Message: I am looking to do more walking and rebuild my life after being suddenly widowed. I sometimes walk locally with a group, and will also do walks with my family; but I would like to find a male walking companion in my own age group (50-60) to open up the possibility of planning some special expeditions that I wouldn't tackle alone. I run a business from home so organise my own time.

I do a lot of thinking while walking and would appreciate the companionship of someone who shares my love of the natural world, will be happy to have a laugh and a chat and share a pint or two in the pub at the end of the journey, but is also happy with companionable silence in beautiful surroundings. Also, would like to meet a competent navigator so that I can once more walk in the wilder areas of Britain. I relied on my husband as the expert hill walker since although I'm a reasonable map reader, I have a hopeless sense of direction!

For this reason, my recent solo enterprise was to start walking the West Coast path, of which I've done a few instalments over recent years (progressed from Weston Super Mare to Bude so far). I reckoned if I kept the sea on my right, I couldn't go far wrong. I was happy to do this trek alone while my husband was alive, but now I prefer to avoid too much solitude.

12 miles in a day is about my absolute maximum if there are any hills involved. I tend to be happier walking round lakes looking up at mountains rather than half killing myself struggling to conquer them, but can be persuaded to tackle a challenge at my own pace. I don't do route marching. I'm an experienced camper, excellent at logistics and making tea, and may be accompanied by a dog.

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

My Message: Hi. I’m very new to this site and still exploring. I love walking, for exercise, to see the countryside / nature and for companionship. There’s nothing like sharing a fantastic view with a friend …and maybe a drink and a meal afterwards. Recently, I’ve concentrated on Lancashire and the Yorkshire Dales, but I’d love to get back into the Lake District again, where I walked a lot in my younger days. I’m 48, separated and free most weekends. I also enjoy walks closer to home on weekday evenings, when there’s enough daylight. I don’t mind getting wet and wind-blown. I’m close to Preston in Lancashire and it would be great to hear from you if you fancy joining me for a stroll. Andrew.

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

My Message: Hi, I came on this site to look for a local walking club. I love the outdoors, was brought up on a farm and just enjoy being out in the countryside. I've done all levels of walking including a couple of Munro's with a friend who completed them all! I love the Dales, having worked in Masham for a number of years before moving to West Yorkshire and now live on the edge of North Yorkshire. I have a great network of friends but none with the passion for walking as I have. I'd like to join a local walking group or meet friends who share the same interest. I love to get up early, be challenged by a good walk then be rewarded by drink in either a sunny garden or by a roaring fire! Unfortunately, I'm still working full time so my walks are limited to the weekends. I love the Yorkshire Dales and also the Coastal Paths of the East Coast. It would be great to meet someone with similar interestst to chatter along to along the path of life....

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 :)

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

My Message: Looking for a keen, reliable walking companion for regular walks. Mostly at weekends but also occasionaly during the week if work commitments allow. I'm a true lover of nature and the outdoors in general so if you fancy a walk with someone a little crazy, but with a deep respect for the countryside then do get in touch. I enjoy stopping to take photos (good excuse for a breather!) and soak up the peacefulness. It's also good to visit a pub or cafe at the end of the walk.
