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

My Message: Hi, I'm a 42 year old guy based in West Yorkshire. I'm looking for a female walking companion to share my passion for the great outdoors and have fun, laughter and new adventures with. I'm free most weekends and head for the hills whenever possible, usually the Dales or Lakes. I've bagged a few peaks but want to do more and like walks that make me feel as though I've really earned that meal and drink in the local pub. I also love running, mountain biking and camping, and just getting the most out of the day. Please feel free to stop and say hello :)

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

My Message: I now feel like I have more spare time to do the Wainwrights and Munroes. It would be great if someone would like to take up this challenge with me.

I live in the Midlands of England so someone local would be good but I would be pleased to meet up at the walk.

I was thinking of spending a couple of days in the Lakes District for the Wainwrights ie Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. For Scotland I think that I would need to go for about 5 - 7 days at a time.

I do not walk at a very fast pace.

I am a Walker, in my late 40s, based near Newcastle Upon Tyne.

My Message: I work to live and live to walk. I'd love to meet any guy who'd like to walk with me. I love to walk in the Lakes, Dales, Howgills, Peak District, North Pennines, Northumberland areas as they are within day-driving distance. I would also love to walk in Wales and Scotland but I couldn't do those areas as day walks!

I'm easy going, easily pleased (show me a waterfall!) and easy maintenance. I am free to walk at weekends and can often walk midweek too.

I will be walking half of the C2C beginning 25th August 2012 and intend to walk the whole route next year.

Along with the mountains I also enjoy coastal walking, having done the Pembrokeshire coast path and parts of the SW Coast path.

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 late 40s, based near Lewes.

My Message: Hi, probably, like most people on this site, i'm just getting back into walking, after an absence of about 12 months, my last hike was around 26 miles, completed in around 7 hours, along part of the South Downs way, and it really was like walking a marathon ! I hope this doesn't deter prospective walking buddies from replying to my ad. I'm quite happy walking any distance, over any type of terrain, in any kind of weather, wether it be 4 miles, or 24 miles, as long as the company is good, and there's a rewarding pint of local ale, in a cosy little hostelry at the end of it.
I consider myself quite fit, i do a bit of indoor climbing, mountain-biking, the occasional bit of camping, and although it doesn't require much physical exertion, like to fish. I would definitely be up for the odd weekend further afield, camping, or in a bandb, and am quite willing to jump on a train to rendezvous, (i drive, but currently car-less).
So, i'm looking for a regular hiking buddy, male, or female, must be easy-going, and have a pretty good sense of humour. I work full-time, Mon, till midday Friday, so weekend walking is best for me.
Think that pretty much covers it, if you'd like to know more, or would like to hook-up for a hike, drop me a line, i'd love to hear from you. All the best, Jim

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!

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

My Message: I'm looking for a walking partner to enjoy walking with. I'm not too worried about the type of walking, I'm happy with anything from gentle urban exploration all the way up to taking on Snowdon or a Lake District Fell.

I work during the week, so generally have to concentrate on weekends or evenings, but I have most of these free. I'm a little limited in terms of transport, which is why I can only travel to nearby areas at present, but I also love camping, so when I have the time I like to take an extended break to North Wales, the Lakes or further afield. Most of my walking at present though is in the North Wales border area or Cheshire.

My Message: Hi Folks: My name is Kev, i live near Kings Lynn in that well known mountaineering county of Norfolk! I am an experienced hill walker, Ex RAF, so not bad at Navigation.
I am a bit of a 'Munroist' and have now climbed over 70 of these large Scottish mountains. I regularly walk in Snowdonia and try to get up to Scotland at least twice a year. My long term walking partner has decided to give up on the sport, and I would really like some company on my walks. I also love cycling, especially cycle touring. Anyway enough rambling, don't be shy, get in touch.......... Cheers Kev

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

My Message: Hi, I am a 50yr old fairly recently single (straight) female who is looking for a weekend walking companion (male or female) or groups to walk with. I have only been walking for the last 3 months and am now at max level 5 but, am hoping to build this up in time. Non of my friends can walk as far as 10 miles and therefore, need to find people that can. I'm originally from the Wirral but have live in Kent for many years. Unfortunately I don't drive yet so, am hoping to find companions in the Kent/Surrey/London area if possible. I love walking in all seasons and love all different kinds of walks. I'm very easy going, sociable, have a good sense of humour and a positive nature. I like pub meals/drink if you're up for it at the end of a hard walk. Hope to hear from anyone who would like to walk with me. Many thanks and hope to hear from you.

My Message: Hello, am looking to meet new friends for walking around the South West, particularly Exmoor and Dartmoor. Looking for weekend walking partners for a good long walk and a pub lunch or cream tea. Have fairly good fitness and walked the Coast to Coast walk last summer - fantastic. Also have a sister that owns a lovely pub in Powys so walkers around that area would be great also, will keep me from having to help with the washing up!
Hope to hear from you.

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

My Message: I've just joined up on this site and hoping to meet people both singles and groups to walk with. I mainly wander around the New Forest area and the beaches and coast of Dorset, however willing to travel further depending on my work schedule and time available. I am reasonably fit and can manage at least a 10 mile walk... better start gradually, hopefully be able to increase my fitness as i put them behind me. I like to camp and enjoy outdoor living, I have a practical sort of head about me and not a lot can scare me... only bottomless crevices and sheer cliffs if i have to comprehend them. Drop me a post if you think i can join in.

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

My Message: Hi

The evenings are now getting brighter and the urge is on to get out and about a bit more, so here I am looking for a walking companion to accompany me along the way.

I have lots of female friends who join me going shopping etc so this time I'd really like to get the male perspective on days out and about walking. I have done a lot of walking in the past (particularly in Wales)but somehow haven't done so in the last year. I'd now like to get back into my stride by doing easy walks first and seeing how it goes. (Will definitely want to catch a coffee/bite of food somewhere along the way tho'!)

Would love to hear from you if you'd like to join me. I do office work part-time so am a bit more flexible than most during the week and also most weekends.

Talk soon. Mary

I live in London and am looking for fellow walkers to explore the countryside with on weekends.
I love to get my hiking boots on whenever I can.
I like doing walks in the counties around London, but I'm also looking to go further afield now that the weather is getting nicer and the nights longer.
So drop me a line if you're interested.

I am a Walker, in my mid 30s, based near Milford Haven.

My Message: Hi there,
I've only recently signed up to this and though it looked like a great idea to find like-minded people that may wish to join me out and about someday.
I'm 36, single and live / work in Pembrokeshire, West Wales.
I've always been keen to explore the great outdoors, and I'm always up for new challenges, however until recently I probably haven't made as much of an effort as I should have done. The fact that most of my friends don't share my passion for the outdoors has restricted me to a certain degree but I've decided to put that right!! So, hopefully I'll find willing companions to enjoy an afternoon / weekend walk or challenge sometime, perhaps with the prospect of lunch afterwards, who knows???
Failing that, I'll head out alone - I've decided our great countryside has too uch to offer to simply let the chance go by
If you're interested in joining me someday then I'd love to hear from you, and hope you'll get in touch before tooo long, thanks, Gregg

My Message: Hi. I love getting outdoors, walking and camping. I go regularly with a local group and also arrange some family walks. I'd really like to meet up with other walkers and go on some more challanging walks, particularly in the Lake District or Wales. I am keen to get back to working my way through the Wainwright walks again if anyone is interested. Happy to meet up with other women or anyone in my local area. If there are any tall men who are interested in dating an outdoor girl and helping me to improve my map reading skills, I'm also interested in hearing from you. Get in touch!

My Message: I love the mountains and walking - especially in the Lake District. I have walked every other week until the last year, and had mountain walking holidays in the Alps and Pyenees. Then working life has got too busy! I'm looking for an experienced walked to kick me back in gear... make me pick my boots up again for those all day walks! Prefer Saturdays.
If that sounds like you, hope to hear from you.
