I am a Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Camberley.
 My Message: Hi, I am new to this website in March 2016. I am writing this message from Tromso in arctic Norway! Here with my wife, but she doesn't walk, so feeling sad that I don't have walking partners here. We have been visiting my daughter who runs a dog sledding company in arctic Sweden, where I have been saying I would like to walk on the Kungsledden ( Kings Way) one summer. So lots of potential trips to Norway/ Sweden/Finland. I have been an experienced hill walker and expeditioner e. g. Alps, Pyrenees, High Atlas plus all the UK wild areas. Now I am returning to my walking roots and would like to join with someone who loves good walking adventures!
Anything considered. I mean anything!! I am slowly getting walking fit and would welcome turning strangers into walking friends. Very happy with shorter routes especially if lots of height gained.
I have a Mountain Leadership Certificate from the 1970's, so a little rusty and worn!
My main interests are: East Africa, where I am a trustee of African Revival, an education and community NGO; school governing; and coaching and mentoring. What are yours?
Love to hear from you.

I am a Walker, in my mid 30s, based near Cumbria.
 My Message: Hi, I'm Rob, 36 and looking to meet a likeminded female or just make new friends. I live in West Cumbria, so I'm lucky to have the Cumbrian fells and coastline on my doorstep.
I am trying to get back to what I love most, the great outdoors, after going through separation. In the past I have done several long distance walks, but really just enjoy all aspects of walking long or short.
I am keen to find someone to share the adventures that come with walking, as a shared adventure is always more fun. Obviously the Lake District is my usual area for walking, but I am willing to travel having also explored Northumberland, Snowdonia, North Yorkshire and the Scottish Highlands in the past.
More than anything it's about sharing these experiences with someone who had the same appreciation for the outdoors, to go for a walk, chat, have a laugh and hopefully click with. If they are interested in food and drink after a walk, then even better.

I am a Walker, in my late 50s, based near Huddersfield.
My Message: Hi- my name is Anne and I 'm looking to find new walking friends- male or female- who are interested in exploring different areas of the countryside and maybe also visiting historical houses, national trust properties and the local hostelries and cafes. I now have a lot more time in the week as well as weekends so want to use this to do more walking and exploring. I am sociable, friendly, like having fun and make friends easily but lots of my friends are still working full time - don't want you to think I am billy no mates!

I am a Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Keighley.
My Message: Hi. I'm a keen walker, with a very friendly and even more enthusiastic springer spaniel companion. Having just taken early retirement I'm looking for new friend(s), male or female, to walk with at anytime but especially during the week. Whilst I love blue skies and balmy weather, I'm happy to walk in pretty much anything Mother Nature cares to throw at us ! And fantastic though a well earned hot drink from a thermos at the top of a hill is, I also enjoy the prospect of a coffee in a cafe or even a pub meal at the end. I have a car and whilst I am particularly fond of the Yorkshire Dales, I'd be happy to travel to explore new areas, especially with a new friend as a guide. Thanks for reading and please get in touch. Bev.

I am a Walker, in my late 40s, based near Teesside.
My Message: Hello there, I am looking for company - preferably male so he can help carry the picnic- to walk in North Yorkshire or the Lake District at weekends. I drive a desk all week so only escape for weekends and holidays. In recent years my walking has mostly been in the Lakes( I have managed a few Wainwrights although for me it's more about enjoying the fresh air and scenery than ticking the boxes) but would like to see more of the North Yorkshire moors and the Dales as they are closer to my home on Teesside but I realise I do not make the most of them! If any of this strikes a chord please drop me a line :) T

Box No: 110290
I am a Walker, in my mid 40s, based near Devon.
 My Message: Having recently lost my regular walking buddy to a new romance I am looking for a companion who is keen to share ' Days to remember'! I am lucky to have lots of friends locally who enjoy sharing the great outdoors but I am keen to find a special someone who will perhaps have time to walk more of the world with me. I do have some basic navigational skills which I am keen to develop alongside a trusted companion who would be happy to face those unexpected times of adversity together and find rays of sunshine in wet mountain days!
I generally love to be active and outdoors and am always curious to see what's around the corner. I am as happy walking to the end of the road on a moonlit night as I am to share a wet dog by an open fire or a view from a bivey bag bed on a mountain top!
I live near the Dartmoor national park but have walked in the Pyrenees, Scotland, Wales and the Lakes and would be happy sharing adventures around the UK and Europe although I might be persuaded to go further afield.

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Birmingham.
My Message: Hi I’m Nigel a keen dog walker, by that I mean where I go so does the dog (border collie), Snowdon, kinder, Nevis, or even Sutton park (locals will know where that is), and if it’s not safe for the dog I don’t go so the Glyders are out. I work shifts so most of my walking is done locally but try to a decent hike once a month, I.e. the peak district, Staffordshire moorlands, or wales when the days are longer. Holidays tend to be in the UK but the hillier the better. I'm looking for company to share the views and conversation (I love my dog but his conversation is a bit limited) and a maybe a pint of two at the end of the day.

Box No: 106670
I am a Walker, in my early 40s, based near Nottingham.
My Message: Hi, I'm Mark... I'm looking for walking buddies in the East Midlands area. I work full time, shifts for the emergency services so my days off vary. Most of my friends work during the week so if i'm on rest days then i'm often walking on my own... don't mind this but it would be good to find others to hook up with for a walk, pint, chin wag..... (also free some weekends) I'm very easy going, got loads of interests and a very broad humour. I walk fairly often in the peaks and have also walked in the lakes, North Yorks and Scotland. I usually follow the guides on this site although can just about read a map! I'm fairly fit and usually choose walks 12-15k, don't mind a tough walk or a nice chilled one... Hope to hear from you.

I am a Walker, in my late 40s, based near N.E Lincolnshire.
My Message: Looking for someone to share a walk with, most distance, pace and terrain.Have been talked into walking the Camino De Santiago across Spain for a second time 2016, having done it in 2012, so need to get out and build my fitness up again.Really I'm looking for regular walking buddies to share the experience and fun with, however if the right person literally walks into my life then that is great too.I love the outdoors and try and get out as much as possible, often with the rabid mutt,my little crazy dog.When not working, walking or dreaming,I can be found painting or crafting, so the odd visit to a art gallery,craft show or theatre/concert is also a passion for me.Love music of many genres and Love to laugh and seek the funnier things in life, also the simple things, a good sunset, open fire or even the odd night under the stars cooking with good company and good food.I have lived a life of many adventures and changes and still have more to explore, quite a gypsy heart at times, slowly settling down a little, would like to share the next adventure with someone preferably. I am pretty flexible with work, can be available most weekends and sometimes week days. Don't mind a good hard walk as a training day but do also love a steady stroll to take in the scenery and the sounds. Walking to me is many things. a time to think, a time to push myself, a time to get away from the madness of the other world, a time to be alone or most importantly a time to share with people of many paths in life.
At the moment I'm in Lincolnshire but looking at moving south next year, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall direction so heading down that way soon for a recce and maybe the odd walk or two, if anyone down that way cares to join me for a walk or has some suggestions that would be great.

Box No: 110250
I am a Walker, in my early 60s, based near Esher.
 My Message: I (Stephen) have always loved walking in the great outdoors, but not (so far!) in any particularly organised or ambitious way. Having said that, I do try to get away on a hiking holiday in the Alps every year and for that I typically handle a climb of 1000 metres in a day and distance of 20km+ without discomfort, so I must be in fairly good shape … far better shape than I have any right to expect at my age of just turned 60.
I have literally just retired and so I now have time to indulge my joy of walking more than I have been able to do while I was working. I am hoping to find someone, or even a few, like-minded to share my enjoyment with, both locally in the Surrey/home counties area and perhaps sometimes further afield … Lakes, Wales, Scotland, abroad … anywhere really.
A good part of the enjoyment for me is the companionship, so a good chat in a suitably situated pub would be a good complement to the walking and fresh air.

Box No: 104690
I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Harrogate.
My Message: Hi, I'm Tony and my great passion is the British countryside and wildlife.
I love walking in the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and North York Moors.
I used to play rugby, football and basketball, but advancing years have now restricted my sporting activities to gentler pastimes such as golf, darts and snooker.
The two things at the top of my 'bucket list' (I HATE that expression!) are to climb all the Wainwrights and to see a full Ring Cycle (Now completed).
I would like to explore Wales, Scotland and Ireland and have been bitten by the multi-day walking bug, having done The Tabular Hills, Dales Way and Coast to Coast walks, and would love to do more.

Box No: 94764
I am a Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Pershore, Worcestershire.
My Message: Hi, I’m a totally blind walker, and I'm looking for people to go walking with who would be prepared to act as my guide. If you have a dog, or at least like dogs then all the better, as I have a lively guide dog who would love to come along sometimes.
I can usually be free to walk locally any day of the week. It would also be good to hear from people anywhere in the country who would be interested in setting up a small group for weekends away, or possibly to walk one of the national trails, either all at once or a section at a time. 8 to 12 miles a day, depending on terrain is ideal for me, although shorter walks locally are fine too of course. Dogs would be very welcome of course, as well as a sense of humour and a rucksack full of food!
Don't worry if you haven't guided anyone who is blind before - you'll soon get the hang of it. I'm a fairly experienced walker and I don't think walking with me is too stressful. (although others may disagree)
Looking forward to hearing from anyone who can help get my rusting knees walking again.

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Washington.
My Message: Hi, new to the site (joined today) and really not sure what the grades are but erring on the side of the higher few are the ones I'd probably not be able to do, yet! I'm from Washington in Tyne and Wear and enjoy going out walking with my camera, I don't get too far and don't walk much more than 5 miles as always on my own, although I'm ok with my own company, it would be nice to meet someone to go out walking with who knows a few good walks (I'm still new to it all) I'm happy to walk and talk, walk and not talk, Coast or Country, I'm easy either way. More than willing to test Tea Rooms and Pub for a drink and a snack too. I've got a bulging disc in my back but it only affects me if I stand too long! So, Male or Female friends for walking would be lovely. I'm easygoing and friendly and can chat for ever if you let me. So, anyone out there would like to get together for walks please drop me a message and I will get back to you soon. I'm always online so will pick up messages quickly. Oh and happy to go along in a group too if there's any out there.... well, that's all from me, chat soon.... I hope!
Marie :)
