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

My Message: Hi, I've just stumbled across this part of the web site and i'm really impressed and surprised to see so many like minded people. Anyhow about me: my name is Dave, i'm 41, single, live in Newcastle-U-Lyme (North Staffs) and go walking in the lakes every fortnight. My next trip is planned for Helvellyn on 23rd or 24th Dec', now the hordes have started to hibernate..... As you can probably tell this is the first time I've been on a site like this and i'm probably writing all the wrong things. But if you fancy stretching your legs and having a laugh then please contact me, regards Dave

Box No: 106265

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

My Message: I have just taken up walking, after years of racket and other ball sports. I am looking for likeminded people who want reasonably strenuous walks (typically 10 to 20 miles at level 4) on Sundays and, on the odd occasion, weekends further afield.
For the Sunday walks logistics of getting to a starting point will probably limit me to 100 miles from home (Woodford Green, Essex), preferably a lot closer!
For weekends away I will travel pretty much anywhere.
I like to think I am fairly sociable and love to chat to people when I am walking. Don’t mind a pie and a pint at the end of a trek either.
Quite happy to organising a walk if anyone is interested in Epping Forest, Lea Valley or Essex countryside.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have similar interests or know of any individuals or groups already doing the same.
Regards
Chris

Box No: 101491

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

My Message: I used to be a regular walker in my younger days and I'm looking to get back into the great outdoors to maintain my health and fitness. I always enjoyed the company of people met on the trail and Hill and have pleaseant memories of the summits of Tryfan, Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon. So if there is anyone out there like myself who likes a little company on a walk or just someone to take the photograph, please get in touch. I am a shift worker and sometimes have to work weekends and Bank holidays and therefore not always available. However the upside of that is that I get days off through the week when the hills and trails are not so crowded. If anyone is interested in walking locally around Hyde or Glossop or even in the Peak district, then please leave your box number so I can reply.

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

My Message: Hello there I seem to have ticked an awful lot of boxes where I would like to walk. Im not sure if it was meant to be areas where you would like to access in a weekend. If so I obviously wont be able to go to some of these (eg orkney!).
Anyway Im writing this as i hope to find more friends to go on walking trips with and maybe even walking holidays. Ive done walking hols abroad in the past but they have mainly been with companies like Exodus. I'd like to do my own trips with some like minded friends in the future.
But for now I'd just be happy to meet some people to do trips at the weekend with. Ive done quite a bit of walking with walking clubs in the past but I'd like to make it a bit more adventurous by going with friends and finding our own way.
Anyway I wont waffle on too much for now and hope to hear from someone!

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

My Message: Hi
I have recently moved south from Yorkshire and I would love to find friends (male and female) to walk with in the Kent or Greater London area. I would also like to find a walking group in the Kent area (apart from Ramblers) so if you know of any, please could you let me know. I work through the week so I would be looking to walk on a weekend. I would also like to walk with somebody who is an experienced map reader and who knows the area as unfortunately I don't! I like to walk anywhere between 8 and 15 miles depending on the time of year. I am a brisk walker and I do like some challenge.
I enjoy walking weekends so that could be something for the future.
Please get in touch if you enjoy the same. I am looking forward to making new friends down here.

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

My Message: Hi! My name is Pam and I am a 51 year old single lady of petite build and 5'3' tall. I am an accountant but I am here to show that accountants aren't boring. (Well this one isn't anyway!) I have recently taken up walking and I am no means an expert so I would like somebody to walk with who would begin with more gentle walking (around 8 to 9 miles of fairly easy terrain) but my aim is to improve and do more challenging walks in the future. I can only walk on weekends as I work fulltime.

I am looking for male and female friends as it is always fun to walk with somebody else. I am good fun and I like to laugh. I also like good conversation.

I don't mind whether you are younger or older (but no doubt you will be wiser!). Please get in touch! Pam x

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

My Message: Hi, I am at a loose end and looking for walking companions. I have just restarted walking (UK wide) after a break of a few years. My partner has his own interests which take him away most of the time. I am relatively fit and I am happy strolling around locally or on a national path, peak bagging etc. I work shifts so I am available at weekends and during the week and have my own transport so I am willing to travel.
I am just looking for chatty, fun company of any sex, standard or age.

It would be an absolute bonus if she had children as im trying to get my 10 year old son involved and figure it'd be more fun with others around his age. I've got a few walkin buddies but a our days hardly seem to match up so it's allways good to widen the social circle. Food and a beer at the end is a must!

Hi, I am a youthful 43 year old woman living in central London. I'm a 49/51% city/country lover and I love getting out to the countryside to walk. I want to do more of this and with like minded people. I like being in nature and enjoy all terrains, but particularly the rugged or remote ones. I really like Cumbria, Derbyshire and Cornwall. I'm pretty fit, though I'd prefer to ease in a bit before starting with a 10 mile climb ! Weekends are best.

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

My Message: Hi,

I enjoy being in the great outdoors and I find walking is one way of fulfilling that pleasure. There is something very therapeutic about expending some energy walking to a summit and looking at the surrounding view whether in the Lake District or my native Bedfordshire.

It would be nice to find a female friend, living not to far away, who enjoys similar. I find walking slows down the pace of life we live at, you can have a good talk during the process and exercise with the possibility of some food and pint at the end. The British Isles has fantastic places to walk and I would love to explore more.

In my photo I am the one standing, recently taken on Scaffell Pike on our lads!!, we are all getting older, walking weekend.

Thanks for taking the time to read my message and if you would like to send me a message about communicating before having a walk that would be good. Chris

I am a Walker, in my late 30s, based near Warrington.

My Message: Hello - I'm 37 and live in Warrington with my 2 children. My favourite places to walk are the Lake District, Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales. I'm Canadian, and grew up hiking quite a lot in the mountains but haven't been properly walking/hiking here for a few years, so this is my effort to get back to it. My physical fitness is pretty good, and I am interested in walking anywhere - if I have a couple of days free, I will make an effort to drive somewhere nice for a good walk with someone. I'm a 'lets just do it' sort of person - hope to meet others with a similar outlook. - Madeline

I've recently moved in with my boyfriend in Nottingham and got a new 9-5 job so just looking to meet some new, friendly faces who enjoy walking in the countryside as much as I do.

My Message: Phil, 50 looking for walking companions who can do weekday walks. I Work many weekends and the others I owe to my kids. Still building up my fitness so Grades 1-5 are my range. Midweek fellow walkers are thin on the ground so I'm as happy right now to go for a gentle stroll as to break sweat on a mountain. I think I'm decent company, not opinionated, just enjoy the company. A nice beer at some point would be good too! Hope to hear from you soon.

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

My Message: Hello,

My name's Ray and I live in Widnes Cheshire - I mainly walk in The Lake District National Park and have done for many years - having many routes memorised but still taking map and compass just in case - lol - I also enjoy cycling and have a mountain and trail bike - often take both to The Lakes and Scotland but the drive (especially on my own) puts me off Scotland these days - although with someone to share the driving it's more of an option. I know The Trossachs fairly well too - I've tried local walking groups/ramblers etc and found I prefer smaller groups - I'm fairly fit - not super fit and don't do the 10 hr slogs I used to in my youth -Anyway - enough of me - would be delighted if you found any of this appealing and got in touch, Regards, Ray
