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

My Message: Retired 69-going-on-35 male ex teacher with caravan, tent, time and enthusiasm!

Looking to meet up with a compatible walker or two for friendship and shared trips. Currently working on Administrative County Tops (4 to do), Wainwrights (about 20 to do) and Munros (144 done). Also often fly to Mallorca, Madeira, Morocco for a walking break.

Have no commitments or baggage, so can take off for the hills at little or no notice.

Happy to walk solo on the hills, but would prefer company and someone to share the views. Someone also retired would be great. Oh and non-smoker and dog-free!

You don't have to be round East Anglia, I spend a lot of time in other parts of the country with my trusty little caravan, so could be anywhere, really. Do drop me a line...., you never know.

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.

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

My Message: Male, 63 looking for anyone to accompany me on walks mainly around N.Wales. Regular weekly walks up Moel Fammau if that's of any interest. Self employed, so reasonably flexible. I'm not the quickest as I've got ms, (not disabled) but will take on virtually anything from a disused railway track to a mountain. Lake District beckons at the end of November, as I'm marshalling on an annual car rally in Grizedale Forest on the Saturday, which usually involves staying over for a mountain walk on the Sunday. Need to get Crib Goch and Tryfan done if anyone has experience please. As an alternative, if anyone has or knows of a dog owner whose pooch isn't getting enough exercise, then I may be willing to have him or her as company instead! Colin

Have done Pemb coast path, not all at once I hasten to add, Peny Fan and bits of the South West coast path, Malvern Hills plus many of the local walks where I live.

Most of my free time is in the week, 4 complete days off together so plenty of time for walking. Woud be prepared to travel, car share, expenses etc.
I'm 5ft 5ins ( just ) and have a Noir sense of humour, so if you like good food, posh Italian, or just a plain bacon sarnie, good conversation ( I like to put the world right ) art,(Salvador Dali and Georgia O'keeffe particular favs) music ( classical,sacred music, dance & trance ) then Id like your walking company.

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

My Message: Hello, my name is Adrian. I have spent to long walking on my own, and would love to find someone likeminded to accompany me and my dog snip.
I have tried for many years to get my partner and daughter to come along. Not going to happen.
I'm self-employed so I'm good for short notice and any time walks.
I've spent most of my time walking Dartmoor, but I also used to live in Blackpool, so north Wales and the lake district was my home ground.
My love is long distance walking. Camping is still good for me, but I must admit, the older you get the more BandB s look inviting.

My Message: Hi, I am Liam. I love hiking, and hoping to find a few more walkers out there. I try to spend as much of the summer hiking and have enjoy a good hike up a hill/mountain but also enjoy a relaxed Sunday stroll. I have been all over the UK (Highlands/Lakes/Peaks/Snowdonia etc) and also aboard in Europe. I try to keep active and currently also try to get the gym/run/play football. However, I do like to mix this up with a little walking and try to get outdoors over the weekend/whilst on holiday, and am looking for some company along the way (female preferred ;)). Happy to travel for a decent hike!

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

My Message: I'm in the process of trying to form a congenial small group of people (not always easy) who love walking and who would like to meet up for a day's walking on a regular basis, or possibly walk over several days once we get to know each other.

I've recently passed my Silver NNAS (National Navigation Award Scheme) and am already putting it into practice, but at the moment I tend to walk alone - but not through choice. Another plan is to walk the Coast to Coast with a few others next year.

However, I am not a "peak bagger" as my idea of a great walk is not being with hoards of people on a conveyor belt belting up the highest peak and back down again in the fastest time possible. I enjoy walks that take in a variety of scenery and away from the crowds.

So if you're interested I'd love to hear from you.

My Message: I live close to the Lake District and I want to get back out and enjoy the area again. It is always fun to meet new people and it would be good to make new friends whilst doing something I enjoy. My two Alsatians are elderly now and can no longer keep me company but they have done in the past. I presently work shifts as a healthcare assistant and support worker and because of that I can be free during the week or at weekends. I have a sense of humour and a wide range of interests and I am very much a people person. I bike to work and as a lot of my work is physical and I like to think I am fairly fit. Its also nice to enjoy a relaxing drink at the end of a walk. Please get in touch if you have any walks you would like to share. I have put my walks as local to me as I do not have a car at the moment not because I don't want to go anywhere else.
