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

My Message: Hello, I'm 32 years old and have relatively recently found my feet. I get out as often as I can (2-3 times per week) and am enjoying every minute (almost!)
I'm limited in terms of people to walk with as my time off is often mid week. It would be nice to have some company and I would love to do some more adventurous walks than I can safely do my own - not forgetting that the pint at the end tastes far better with company. So, if you are an experienced walker, a relative novice or somewhere inbetween feel free to get in touch.
Despite my inexperience I have bags of determination and big ambitions!

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

My Message: Hi I'm a 40 something male, looking for some companions to go walking in the Lakes, Peaks and Yorkshire areas. I live in the Howardian Hills area of North Yorkshire, so the moors are on my doorstep and I have walked in many areas around here. Unfortunately my family don't really share my enthusiasm for walking so I tend to pack a rucksack on 1 day of the weekend to escape on my own. Would rather have a bit of company along the way and thats where you come in ! I'm planning to do all the Wainwrights before i'm 50, so I am looking to be in the Lakes on a reasonably regular basis in the next 7 years, failing that some day trips to other areas like the Peak District, Yorkshire Dales etc. would be good. I'm easy to get on with, strong enough on nav skills not to get lost too often and can tackle anything from a flat 3-5 miler to a full days hike of several peaks. All walks planned with a pint at the end ! Let me know if you are interested in joining me!

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

My Message: Hi,

My name is Hazel. I am very new to walking but reasonably fit and keen to raise my fitness level and to find my way around the lovely area I live in as well as discover other areas which appeal to me. I currently work full-time so mostly weekends but I can get occasional week days off without too much notice or fuss. Enjoy my own company but find walking alone just a little too lonely and would love to find a companion to walk with and to share the experience, the scenery and some lovely coffee/cake/lunch etc. after our walk.

I generally find that I take a little longer than most to complete walks. Thats not because I am flagging... usually just because I like to look around me at the view. So if you like to breath the air, look around, not clock-watch (and eat cake) please do get in touch.
Hazel

Box No: 81716

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

My Message: My name is John and I'm an accountant (not my fault!). I recently discovered that walking up mountains is great exercise and a total detox for a stressed mind, so I like to do it when I can, especially in the Lakes and Scotland. Unfortunately I live near Cambridge - so I can commute easily into the City - but it's so not hilly around here, plus I appreciate company as I find hiking on my own a bit lonely. Fortunately my job is fairly random and I can get away for days at a time, working on my laptop if need be, to hike and explore. I'm looking for someone to share the experience, the grandeur, the isolation, the views, of being in a wonderful landscape. But safe in the expectation of a civilised shower, meal and comfy bed at the end of the day. I am NOT a camper!

I can navigate quite confidently and I can lead or follow, if required, but much prefer to travel by consensus (as I get all the leading and following I can cope with at work). I can do day trips out-and-back, or linear trips if the accommodation is booked ahead. I'm not too ambitious; definitely a walker with a bit of scrambling in me, NOT a dedicated rock climber and no desire to be one as I find heights scary - did Striding Edge in May, clinging to the rock - but my confidence is improving.

So I'm hoping to find a walking companion, based either in the South, who can share the driving, or in the North/Scotland, to meet up with. Please contact me if you want to make a friend and share some great walks.

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

My Message: Hello, I'm Isobel
I've been walking for the last 2 years with my local Ramblers group in and around the West Midlands. While I've enjoyed these walks, I want to be more adventurous and try Snowdonia, The Lake District and The South West Coast Path (I'm sure there will be more places I want to walk once I make the transition). I can map read and use a compass and have lead walks for the Ramblers. I prefer walking in Autumn, Winter and Spring as I like the cooler temperatures. Don't mind camping but prefer hostelling (am a YHA Member). I can walk at weekends and during the school holidays. If you've got experience of the type of walking I want to explore, would you like to share it with me and join me on my journey to fulfill my walking aspirations? Thanks!

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

My Message: Just finding my legs again as I have the time to walk once again. But really its no fun out by yourself, its much nicer to appreciate a view with a companion. Of course the most enjoyable way to end a day, is with a drink and good meal in a cosy hillside pub.
Really enjoy NYM, the Dales and Lakes, but would like to explore other Northern areas too. Quite like the idea of doing the Wainwrights. Eventually I'd like to work up to doing the C2C or other long distance path.
I work away from home, so when I am home, I'm home 24/7, so am available mid week or weekends.
So can I interest any one in a walk or hike?

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

My Message: Hi, I am a 44 year old female living in Devon looking for walking friends of a similar age/ outlook. I have a plan to complete the whole South West Coast Path in sections, even if it takes years, and it would be great to have a companion or two to share it with. Even better would be a man who also loves the countryside, weekends away in other areas, country fairs, country pubs, farmer's markets etc. and hates loud town pubs, cigarette smoke and busy cities (although a short visit for the art and theatre is always nice!). I have a passion for books and the occasional glass of wine and a strong dislike of bigotry, aggression and football. I love the South West, favourite walking area Dartmoor but I would love to see more of our beautiful country. This is getting too long now so I'll stop rambling on!

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

My Message: Bored housewife, I am 40 years old and need to get out walking more often. Looking for other mums or dads to go for walks around West Yorkshire at first, then hopefully to go further afield, Coast to Coast, West Highland Way, Pennine Way etc. Need to work around school times when my husband is away, but flexible when he is home. After 3 children I badly need to get back into shape. I have my labrador also, so anyone with friendly dogs would be great. Happy to drive to meet up with someone, and will walk in all weathers.

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

My Message: 47 year old male. Born and Bred in West Yorkshire, wild and wacky sense of humour would love to meet a slightly younger lady with a view to walking the Penine Way together, when i was younger i did the three peaks in Yorkshire, but now am totally out of practice and need a wild person to knock me back into shape, i love camping, but subject to weather conditions, and time of year to plan things, camping is debatable, i really want to do the Penine Way and a friendly female for company and the odd pint of fine beer/ale at the end of a long days' stroll would seem idealic, i'm a mere male and need some tuition on ordnance survey map reading ( my memory is fading), anyone up for it at your convenience, i dont work so i can manage it any time but we are not all alike.
Thanks
Ray

My Message: Well tired of walking on my own. Like another to take deep breaths with. I am 46, fit, sane and used to regular walks weekly for exercise and then longer ones weekends and hols. Been to lakes/Applecross/skye this year and have done a couple long distance West Highland Way. Like to have a walking companion. Confess to no tech navigational skills but up/round Loch Callater and Kander yesterday and Mt Keen on Friday so anyone in the area interested in doing the compass in a mist I can follow.

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

My Message: Hi all,
I'm a keen walker, early fifties, single, who enjoys good company on the hills and the reward of a pub meal or a tea shop visit at the end of the ramble. I enjoy regular fellwalks in the Lake District, coastal yomps in Northumberland and the occasional visit to the North York Moors and Scotland. Looking for like minded female walkers with a gsoh, a spare flask (mine keeps breaking) and with the capability to switch off, enjoy the views - and tolerate the occasional dodgy navigational faux pas! Spare compass and torch essential. Extra sandwiches optional.

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

My Message: I am specially looking for a female companion of any age who likes to walk and talk. I love good laugh. I am interested in most things and my hobbies are mostly of the all round active healthy kind, body and mind. My philosophy is 'give and take' and 'it takes two'.
Also, in school term time I like to walk weekdays between 9 and 3 preferably and not too far away from here in Sheffield i. e. Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire mostly, but not exclusively.
I work from home, mostly on the pc, so my hours are very flexible, and I am happy to have an IM chat on MSN or Yahoo or similar to get to know each other a bit first.
I look forward to hearing from you, talking to you, and hopefully 'going for a walk' together!
My laptop (and mobile phone) go with me everywhere so I check for replies wherever I am.
Matt

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

My Message: Hi There,

I am a 41 yr old male who has been very active all his life.

More recently, I have developed more of a love for the great outdoors, and love walking and mountain biking.

Compared to some of you out there I may appear a bit of a novice, in terms of experience anyway, but believe me, I know my limitations and love to push myself beyond them, so I am up for anything you are.

As the only people I know who do this sort of thing are a few work colleagues, who I dont want to spend all my time with, I am looking for like minded adults of a similar age group to do things with.

If this sounds like you, then contact me and we can go from there.

I am in the South East but will gladly travel
