I am a Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Haxey, North Lincs.

My Message: hello I am quite young in my outlook, have just started strenuous walking again over the last few years (and I am loveing it). Can manage up to about 12 miles so far but looking to stretch myself even further. Used to do mountain scrambling and lots of challenge walks although not competitive anymore would still like to do the distance looking for male or female companions. can map read to a certain extent enough for marked paths anyway but having done lots of walking in the past know my way round quite a few. Wouldn't mind doing a walking holiday at some stage. No probs with distance have own transport and now retired am free quite a lot of the time.

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

My Message: I'm a 59 year old man who has enjoyed hillwalking for much of my adult life. I'd prefer to do this in good company, male and female, rather than on my own. I'm not a 'peak bagger' or record keeper/breaker, preferring to tarry occasionally to take in the beauty of what is around me.

If the areas I've checked are ones we share a common interest for walking in, it would be great to hear from you!

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

My Message: Message: Hi. I'm a 41 year old single female looking for male or female company for walks at weekends. I love going to the Peak District but the friend I used to go with has moved away and others do not have the same interest/passion. I have my own transport, am reasonably fit, have a good sense of humour and sense of adventure but my ability to read a map is questionable! Look forward to hearing from you. Jen.

I am a Walker, in my late 60s, based near Kirkby Stephen.

My Message: Hi there

I live in South Cumbria and have walked the dales and lake district most of my life. I have just lost my walking buddy. So looking for someone new to walk with. I’m a fair weather walker. (Well I walk for the views) I think I can chat about most things but also listen and I do enjoy a good laugh but most of all enjoy some pub grub on returning from the hills. I’m recently retired so most days are OK for me.
So if you’re looking for company I look forward to hearing from you.

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

My Message: Walking partner, male or female, wanted for short and longer walks primarily in Scotland but also in the North of England. I am fit and like long walks in all kinds of weather. I don't have a car so getting to the hills isn't always easy. Would be nice to have more outdoorsy friends to join me in exploring this lovely country.

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

My Message: Hi
I am looking for new walking friends male or female. I have many years experience having trekked abroad and bagged many British hills. And lots of british national trails as well.But equally I am happy to walk 5 miles along the river so please don't let that put you off. I like to bring my dog along when possible but it's not essential. I drive and am able to travel a reasonable distance for a nice walk. I sometimes work unsociable hours but can be free most Sundays some Saturdays and odd weekdays. I'm not averse to a local evening walk either. I have basic climbing and scrambling skills - i can belay as well. But I can't read a map to save my life! - sorry ! But am willing to learn if you are very patient.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Ps if you haven't put a pic up of yourself I won't reply a girls gotta be careful you know!
No smokers please.

I am a Walker, in my late 60s, based near Darlington.

My Message: Hi, my name is June. I would like to meet male or female walkers. I live in Darlington, don't drive, but very willing to share car expenses. With better weather on the horizon, it would be great to get out in it doing some decent walks!! I really enjoy walking.....nothing better than being out in the fresh air, walking along and having a good old natter....or maybe not!! I can do silent!!! If preferred. Then to end it with a coffee and cake or a glass of wine and something to eat at a pub, lovely. I'm free weekends, and weekdays shouldn't be a problem, as no work commitments. Look forward to hearing from you. June

Box No: 104379

I am a Walker, in my mid 30s, based near Castle Douglas.

My Message: When I first moved to the UK from Canada, one of the things that I looked forward to most was walking in places where I didn't have to worry about bears or overly-aggressive deer! Seven years on, I've managed to climb Snowdon, bag a couple of Munros (including Ben Nevis), and been on several mid-length walks from places as varied as Unst in Shetland to the North Downs Way, but that's about it.

I would describe myself as a woman who is young at heart with a good sense of humour. I enjoy comedy, theatre, films, reading and history. I'm in decent shape, have two adorable rescued rotties (they're exceptionally friendly with people - but unfortunately have not been well socialised with other dogs), and am happy to travel to meet up for walks - or pitch in for petrol - as needed. I'm good at reading maps, but my compass using skills definitely need some work.

As I work full-time, walking is limited to weekends and (Scottish) school holidays. If you're interested in meeting up for a walk, please get in touch. [Nb: I'm interested in walking pretty much anywhere, but figure it's good to start close to home when you're just meeting up for the first few times!]

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

My Message: Reliving my passion for walking in the country side. As I am now registerd Blind I find it's not so easy for filling my love of walking. A keen rambler for many years I have a yearn to get out and about again and take in the beautiful creation that surrounds us. I am looking to make a couple of friends to come rambling. I'm living in London and need to get out from time to time.
I thought up to about 10+ miles would be a good starting distance. I can help with some travel expenses if we need a train. I am up for a pint, or tea, or my favoured place for a break is a bite to eat in the middle of nowhere propped up against a log or wall.
If you walk with a group or by yourself it would be great to hear from you.
If you think you can assist or have any ideas, just let me know and if you need any more information about me just ask, we'll see ware it takes us. Al

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

My Message: Hi I'm Dave, an active 43 yr old looking for walking/camping companions both male and female. I have been walking for quite a few years now, mainly in Northumberland, Lake District and Scotland. I am pretty well experienced and know my way around quite a few places. Working offshore gives me a lot off time off to venture off into the great outdoors, there's nothing better. I am very interested in trying out some wild camping, hoping to do it very soon in fact, so if anyone is looking for company give me a shout, I have never tried it but I am in the process of getting the kit together.
I am married with 2 children, my 8 yr old boy is already into Wainwright double figures, he often joins me and is great company on the fells.
I also enjoy cycling, running and would try most outdoor activities. If you are interested in joining me for a hike or a wild camp please get in touch.
Many thanks.

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

My Message: Hi, I'm looking for company, male or female, on walks locally or further afield, weekend breaks or walking holidays.
I enjoy hills and flat walks of any distance, also cycling (off road), and usually have a couple of dogs tagging along. Scrambling is always a challenge I'm up for, but not anything too scary, not keen on massive drops!
I'm keen to do more long distance, multi day walks, preferably with BandB or hostel/bunkhouse accommodation. I've done a few Explore walking holidays, which have been great fun, and I'd love to try some of the cycling holidays or self guided walks abroad.

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

My Message: Photo to follow shortly.
Spring is in the air. Spring is in my heart. Spring is my legs.
It's a while since I've had my boots on, but I miss it.
I have a good life, but a male walking companion would improve it.
I have no dependent children and I'm financially secure.
My hair isn't grey, and neither is my attitude.

Mostly I would prefer to walk locally, and holiday further afield.

Sue

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

My Message: Hi, I am Simon a 55 year old male from Carlisle. I love the outdoors and the hills and mountains in particular. I live close to the Lakes which I adore, but my greatest passion is for the Scottish Highlands, in particular the far north west, with Skye and Torridon being my favourites. I have to confess to being a 'bagger. ' I also enjoy a good scramble. However, I enjoy shorter and less strenuous walks along glens and valleys and along beaches and headlands.

I am out in the Lakes regularly and go to the Highlands as often as I can. I have made a number of bothy and camping trips, as well as staying in hostels and B and B's. The odd foray to Snowdonia has usually met with bad weather, but I live in hope.

I am looking for a female who enjoys exploring the wild and beautiful mountainous areas of our islands, and shares my passion for reaching the top.

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

My Message: Hi I'm a 32 year old male who loves walking in the lakes, haven't walked anywhere else yet, but would do. It was a friend who got me into walking in the lakes and I love it, unfortunately my pal has gone off traveling now, and nobody else I know likes walking in the hills. I started trying to do all the wainwrights and I've done about 30 of them, and some of them 4or 5 times over. I've done a few hills on my own since, but it's just not the same on your own, hence why I'm here now, If you think you'd be up for some lakes adventures, drop me a message and we can talk about it!!

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

My Message: Hello. I live in Essex where the main challenge in the winter is the mud! I walk regularly with a walking group but am looking for a male companion to share walks in a different way:-to plan the walk together, to discover the wonderful British countryside and wildlife, to chat and laugh along the way, to stop and look when and if you want, to have time to take photographs and at the end of the day to collapse into the teashop or pub. Although much maligned Essex has a very varied landscape with the estuaries and their big skies quite stunning but no hills that I've noticed! Last year I did some walking on the SW Coastal Path which was spectacular but challenging - up and down all the way. I'm happy with most reasonable distances and particularly like the prospect of completing a long distance trail - possibly in stages depending on the length. That said I'd be happy to walk almost anywhere! If you think you might be interested please get in touch.

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Lyndhurst /Exmoor.

My Message: Hi I am a fairly fit heterosexual lady who would love to find a walking companion. I run a pub in the New Forest which is when I walk daily with my dogs but I spend alot of my time in Exmoor on my days off, where I also walk. I tend to walk much longer walks down there as obviously I have more time. I love taking time out to explore new areas especially Scotland which I have visited a lot but find it a bit lonely on my own all the time. I love staying in my camper in remote places and travelling around discovering new places in the British Isles. I would obviously like to meet the love of my life but to find a likewise person who is bright, loves the countryside, can cope with my dogs and enjoys walking with me would be great. I can walk up to 8 /10 miles easily and love picnics, or a visit to a pub. Anyone that would like to meet for a walk in the New Forest or Exmoor (or anywhere really.. there are so many places to see) please get in touch. I run from my pub a dog walk on the 1st Sunday in the month. Feel free anyone with a mut that would like to come along.
