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

My Message: Hi all. I'm 33, female, healthy and reasonably fit.
Unfortunately for me, trying to get my friends to pull on a pair of boots and climb a hill is falling on deaf ears. So here i am. I used to wild camp and walk all over dartmoor as a kid. I like to wander off the beaten track and not fussed by the weather. Always up for a challenge. I would prefer to walk with experienced walkers of any age/ sex. So if you'd like some company on your next outing, please feel free to contact me.
Many thanks
Nina

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

My Message: Hello, I'm a 32 year old male from Workington, Cumbria. I'm keen to get out in the fresh air and enjoy walking to see the sights. Unfortunately my Saturdays are taking up with sport through the winter so I mostly get out on Sundays at the min. In summer however I get out as often as possible. I'm interested in new friends who share the same interest as a lot of my friends are into different things.

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

My Message: Hi everyone
I am very new to hiking on my own, and I am still breaking in new boots. I am interested in hiking to just about anywhere, days, weekends and holidays to different places of interest. I am 53 Petite, fit and healthy. I have sons who are in the British forces and an ex partner who is very into ACF. I have spent many hours watching my family and feel the time has come now to achieve things for myself. I have recently joined the London Adventure Group who have lots of hiking days and weekends, and I am looking for anyone who is interested in joining me on some of my hiking adventures and hopefully make some nice new friends along the way.

Looking for some pleasant company to join me and share my enthusiasm for the outdoors. Have spare time during the week and at the weekends so if you are like minded and fancy a companion let me know!

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

My Message: Hi looking to meet new friends male/female/group for more challenging walks adventures;Cairngorns, Snowdonia, lake Dist etc. I'm 55 and live in South Yorkshire, I still consider myself fairly fit and will participate in most sports, I usually run 2/3 times a week as well as walking. Unfortunately most of my previous walking partners have either arthritic knees or have taken up golf. My wife is happy to do the low level fell walking but is not prepared to tackle anything more challenging, or if the weather is bad. I like camping as well as walking (I have some good equipment ) so combining the two would be ideal, athough BandB would be ok as well. I enjoy good company and conversation. Look forward to hearing from either individuals or groups. I will reply to all who respond.

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

My Message: Hi. I'm looking for a walking companion, male or female as I either walk on my own or in a group. I like to stop, take breath, 'admire the view' and feel the breeze in my face with shared quiet enjoyment as well as having a natter and laugh along the way with a picnic or pub/cuppa at the end. I did a long multiday hike a couple of years ago but fitness has dropped and would like to build it up again. Saturdays/Sundays or the ocassional midweeker would suit me and I don't mind travelling.

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

My Message: Hi, I am a keen walker happy to do most low level and more strenuous walks. I have a 15 month old labrador who has got me walking and exploring areas that I haven't previously visited. The pup is now old enough to do longer walks and I am hoping to expand on the areas that I walk. I have recently bought the OS explorer maps for all the surrounding areas of Lancaster and would be happy to have company on my walks or join other people or groups on their walks.

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

My Message: Hi, I moved down to the Worcester area last year and would like to meet female walkers for walks in this general area or further afield, I don’t mind travelling to meet up or to explore new areas. I am reasonably fit and enjoy getting out and about discovering new places by finding walks off the beaten track, not to bad with maps!
I am semi retired and can meet up during the week or weekends.
Enjoy the countryside and will walk anything up to 10 to 12 miles but happy with shorter strolls as well. It is always more enjoyable with good company to have a chat with and the obligatory drink in the local pub afterwards (or en route!).
Hope to hear from you soon. John

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

My Message: Hi, I'm Jo recently single and looking for someone/a group of like minded walkers male or female. I have 2 dogs so prefer those who are doggie types! Just love getting out into the countryside, fresh air and open spaces. Walk every day with my dogs, short walks in the evenings and longer at the weekends. Have done a few climbs but if I'm honest I love ambling around flats, particularly near water (my dogs love it!) Let me know if you're interested in joining me.

Box No: 91222

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

My Message: I currently organise walks for a small group of friends based in Manchester on a Sunday. We're a mixed gender group ranging in age from 40 to 50 (unless my nephew joins us and he brings the average age right down!). We generally tackle fairly easy rambles, usually involving a pub at some point. We enjoy the exercise but also love the conversations, which can range from politics to the X-Factor, depending on how high-brow we're feeling!
We're mostly single but we're not against married people joining us, as long as they don't hold hands the whole time (and yes, there are some people who manage that on a walk!). We're trying to build up our stamina over the winter so that we can tackle some longer, more challenging walks in the summer. We're never going to walk the Three Peaks in 24 hours (so we're probably not the group for the super fit among you) but doing a single hill/mountain in a day would be sufficiently enjoyable for us and I'm sure for many similar walkers.
We all enjoy the outdoors and go walking for the scenery, the companionship and the charming pubs (although there seems to be far fewer of them around).
We've a few walks planned over Christmas - nothing strenuous, fairly flat walks around Cheshire of about 9 miles if anyone's interested. Then we'll settle into a routine of a Sunday walk probably twice a month.

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

My Message: Hi everyone. After reading all the other Go 4 A Walk members it would seem most are prepared to walk any where in the UK. I must say I might seem fairly boring but the Yorkshire coast line, the hills and valleys of the white and dark peaks of Derbyshire and the Yorkshire Dales and wolds provide enough inspiration and views to relax the most stressfull parts of our lives. I am happy to walk 6 miles with a chat or 24 miles with aching knees. Kinder Scout under 6 feet of snow is brill. send me a message and stay near home in our wonderfull countryside

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

My Message: Well, I am up for just about anything with anyone. Young/old, male/female, etc etc. It's not that I'm not fussy, but I enjoy meeting and finding about new people, although finding a regular glutten for punishment would be good. I enjoy a good laugh and a chat, but equally happy just enjoying sharing the scenery in ' companiable solitude' - not sure where that one came from!!
My usual partners circumstances have changed - baby, moved away, and the other one, well she found herself a man.
I am confident with navigation, enjoy grade 1 scrambles -although I used to climb to a good standard and fancy taking on a bit more, although I have no kit now.
I am currently looking for work so have a reasonable amount of flexibility of when and how long I go for, subject to getting a pass from 'she who must be obeyed'! But not a problem.
I am up for wild camping - but prefer bunk houses/bothys this trime of year.

Would love to have a bit of a challenge in winter conditions, if someone is happy to share their knowledge, I am prepared to invest in more winter kit.

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

My Message: Hi all.
I'm really a novice walker but, having said that I find myself in the postion of having walked in lancs, mainly pendle areas, also, Sapa - Vietnam, New Zealand, Dublin mountains, et al.
I really am looking for interested walking companions who probably have more experience/ confidence than me. I was diagnosed with asthma in January. I'm now managing it really well, but am quite aware that others find it frustrating. I guess I'm looking for someone who would be patient enough when I get out of breath, but also, probably, put up with me being quite feisty at times. Bit of a handful eh!

Equally happy to walk in the countryside or by the coast, just as happy with a flat or hilly terrain.
Also enjoy a bike ride. Then to finish off with a drink and a bite to eat.
Don't be shy drop me a line. Paul

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

My Message: Hi all, I'm Mark a 41 year old guy who loves walking up in the Lake District. Looking for a walking partner (preferably female) who shares similar interests (I do prefer walks that involve uphill rather than just flat). That said, I'm not going to route march you up to the top in the quickest possible time !

My other half just isn't interested in the mountains and fells, so I tend to do a lot of walking on my own at the moment, but would be nice to have someone to share it with (plus you do get some funny looks from people if you start talking to yourself on a walk !!!)

I live in lancashire and try to get up to Cumbria every other week (usually on a Sunday) - a busy schedule kind of dictates I walk on a Sunday !

If you'd like to know more or would like to arrange a walk somewhere, drop me a line.
