I am a Walker, in my early 60s, based near West Wycombe.
My Message: Hi, I am a 62 year female, I have lived in West Wycombe for 1 year. I am a retired nurse who is looking for someone to walk with and share and enjoy the scenery and chat or not as the mood allows. I love walking and have just completed Hadrians Wall which has been a lifelong dream. I walk as fast as I can but I am no greyhound, far preferring to stop and take a photo or enjoy whatever is on view and it is always nice to have a treat at the end. I am married but my husband is not keen on walking and I feel I could be more adventurous if I were not on my own. I can walk during the week and prefer this and I'm happy to travel to other counties for day walks but I'm also keen to explore my surroundings in the Chilterns. I am reasonably fit, at least I think I am but I'm not great at scaling mountains and not overly keen on very strenuous ventures, but that said I'm willing to consider most things.

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

My Message: Hi, I just love walking, landscape, wildlife, geology, trees, plants, well everything out in the wild or countryside really. I currently live in Pembrokeshire an area I really love but I'm moving to Libanus near Brecon shortly to be nearer my three daughters and my work ( which is now house and pet sitting mostly in the southern half of England). I'm single and my job is wonderful but quite isolating so I'd like to meet someone (female) for company, conversation, laughter, ( not much laughter on your own) sharing (no sharing either) on walks, in pubs or anywhere. I'm an experienced walker and have walked over many places in Britain and Ireland, Pyrenees and Alps, I'm especially familiar with the Brecon Beacons and Pembrokeshire. My job takes me all over Southern Britain mostly but not always South of the M4 and gives me lots of opportunities to walk in some beautiful areas. I love reading, live music and theatre, real ale, cinema (but I can't seem to go on my own), travel, meeting people from other countries, single malts, laughing etc,etc.and I'd like to meet someone please.

I am a Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Garswood.
My Message: Hi, my name's Bernie and I'm looking for a walking pal or pals in the St. Helens or Wigan area to do regular walks of between 5-10 miles. I walk with my wife but due to hip replacements her limit is 5 or 6 miles. I am in a rambling club but often miss walks because they are on a Sunday and we are doing other things. Being retired (6 years) I have time in the week so weekday walks are best. Enjoy using maps and sometimes making it up as I go along! Enjoy solo walks too but also nice to have a bit of company sometimes.

I am a Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Manchester.
My Message: Hi I am trying to put some kind of life together after the death of my incredible wife. I hate being in the house and believe walking will be therapeutic. We used to enjoy walking but not generally long distances. I am fit however as i am an addicted swimmer. The thing I miss most is talking so a walking companion would be ideal. Willing to travel reasonable distance for a nice walk. The peak district is probably best for me. I am very easy going and generally good fun, although I must admit my sense of humour has vanished recently due to circumstances. I'm hoping some new friends will change that.

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

My Message: Hi there, I'm Kathy and would like to find a male companion to go walking with.
A very dear friend introduced me to this site. She knows that I love walking, being close to nature and the great outdoors, but was aware that with the winter months encroaching I was looking for new ideas to fill my spare time.
I have hobbies such as dancing and sailing but as I lost my partner very suddenly in 2011, and have lived alone since, it has been more difficult to pursue some of my interests.
I have special time daily with my 2 lovely labs and we walk at least twice a day, but as they are now in their senior years, both 12 years old, I am restricted by distance.
I would like to find some one who would be happy to accompany me for longer walks at a weekend. I am nick named chatty Kathy and I do like to converse on all manner of topics plus a good sense of humour is always a bonus as we meander along.
I have to say I am an A star when it comes to getting lost, although a little deviation can be interesting at times.
If you would consider being my companion and helping me get from A to B, (I'm hopeless at map reading), please send me a message.
You never know, I might find the one I am looking for. I know you are out there.
Thank you for taking the time to read my message.
Kathryn

I am a Walker, in my late 50s, based near Grassington.
My Message: Hi, this is Diane.
I live in the Yorkshire Dales and own a hotel (with walking companion rates if you choose to stay there) - I am finding it really difficult to find a walking companion to walk with, mid-week especially. Not looking to walk really long distances but happy to do up to 10 miles or so. Love the idea of pub grub after a good leg stretch. I love to laugh and consider myself easy company. I am not on here looking for romance (or whatever the modern term is) but just to enjoy the company of a fellow male or female walker. Hope to hear from you. Diane

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

My Message: Now retired and living in the west of the Lake District I walk and cycle regularly and enjoy scrambling but would enjoy some company and that pint at the end with a hearty bar meal and lively conversation to round off a good day. I'm a non-smoker with a good sense of humour, very interested in wildlife, in particular otters and birds but also nature in general and landscape photography in particular. I have a campervan so get all over the country and to Scotland at least 4 times a year, the Isle of Skye being a favourite along with island hopping and Ardnamurchan whenever possible - I’m also trying to tick off more Munros - when the weather's good for views! I cycle, enjoy backpacking, have canoed and sailed in the past, I’ve skied many top French resorts over 35 years and enjoy a tough walk on the summits as much as a low level ramble stopping off to view waterfalls, a panorama or sunset or just to sit, reflect and share a magic moment in like-minded company. I particularly enjoy outdoor sketching in watercolour. If you fancy a ramble, a trek here or abroad, or a scramble, I hope to hear from you.

I am a Walker, in my late 60s, based near Brighouse.
My Message: Hi I am 69 years of age and have loved walking all my life. Until recently I have done walks of up to 12 miles, mostly in the Dales but my husband and walking partner can no longer accompany me and I have been confined to just 3 miles a day with my 2 dogs. I am really missing doing new walks and in particularly the hills.
I would love to here from anyone (female)willing to accompany me on some new walks. I am quite happy to travel up to an hour. I now only have one dog capable of distance but I am happy to walk with or without dog.
My other interests are reading, gardening and the general outdoors and I do one day per week voluntary work. I am also a recently retired Endurance Horse rider so have a love of horses.

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

My Message: I am an experienced, fit walker with a particular passion for hiking and wild camping. I am going to the Pyrenees from 14th August for two weeks and would very much like to walk with a companion (my son was coming but very sadly he has had to drop out at the last minute). I intend to walk in the general area of Vignemale, Gavarnie, Odessa, Neouvielle/Vallee d'Aure - areas I know well from previous similar trips - it is stunning scenery and quite accessible. Typically I would would sort out routes for 3-4 days, camp out for a couple of nights, walking 5-6 hours a day and exploring.
I am retired with a now grown up family and love cycling, walking, climbing, sailing, the outdoor life in general. I enjoy meeting people, a good discussion about life the universe and everything, classical music, I know nothing about sport!
If you would like to join me on this adventure please make contact. Look forward to hearing from you. Bye - Laurie

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

My Message: Hello everyone, there doesn't appear to be a page here to list walking groups, which is a real shame as I belong to an absolutely fantastic one. The only problem is, I live in Bradford and the group is based in the Lake district: I love my walking club, but it's a long drive (around 1. 5hrs each way).
Although I truly enjoy the journey, it's costly on petrol on my own so I can't go as often as I'd like to. So I was wondering if there is anyone in the Bradford/Leeds areas, or anyone en-route on the A65, who would be interested in joining me and sharing transport costs? I know it's a long shot, but hey-ho it's worth a pop. The club meet at 8. 30am every Sunday morning in all weathers and seasons. It's definitely a 'real' fell walking club - there are 3 grades of walk every week so there's something for everyone from the relatively gentle 'C' walks (usually around 8 miles and 1-3 peaks) to the astonishing 'A' walkers who are pretty hardcore (multiple hills and a LOT of ground covered in a day. A lot of them are climbers as well - I'm in awe to be honest). I tend to enjoy the middle ground of the 'B' walks with the occasional 'C'.
I'm not bad company (or so I'm told), and even better is that I don't drink and love driving ;D so if anyone is interested then please message me! (Oh, and to avoid any potential misunderstandings, I'm not posting this to find a boyfriend so males and females of all ages are very welcome.)

I am a Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Wakefield.
My Message: Hi, I am looking for walking companions either female or male. I would like to do reasonable walks of about 5 - 8 miles and looking for companions who like to do easier 1-3 type walks ( I'm not a mountain goat!) whilst also socialising with people with different interests (no forced marchers please!).
I really enjoy coastal walks and gettting out and about. I would like to mainly walk at weekends either local walks or further afield. I live in Wakefield in West Yorkshire and have a car so trips out to East, North Yorkshire and Lincolnshire prefered but I would consider travelling further. I also like camping and have my own "old" micro campervan.
If this message is of interest to you please let me know.
Best Wishes,
Diane

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

My Message: Hi all. I'm a 37 year old male from Derby, whom has quite recently developed a passion for the great outdoors - a passion, unfortunately, not shared with my city-going friends. My walking boots don't get to see anywhere near as much terrain as they deserve to, and I'm hoping that this website can change that.
I am therefore, looking for some company, male or female - age not an issue - who enjoys the walking, the fresh air, the exercise, and especially the scenery as much as I do. Whether it's a quiet, easy stroll, or something more demanding over several days, I really don't mind. The weather is also not a problem to me - like any sensible person, I prefer the sun to be in the sky and a mild breeze to be in the air, but I also enjoy walks in varying climates as long as I remember to pack the correct gear! :-)
If anybody reading this post feels in a similar situation, then please get in touch and drop me a message.
I look forward to responding. Thanks. Matt.

I am a Walker, in my early 60s, based near Poole.
My Message: Hello my name is Carole. I live in Dorset. I walk at least 5kms every day as I have a very energetic young dog. At the weekends we walk upto 23kms each day over beautiful heathland - so I am fit when it comes to dog walking. I love the outdoors, enjoying the peace and solitude of nature. I want to expand my horizons and do some serious walking but not alone as tend to get lost however not interested in walking with an organised group. I work full time so weekends are mainly when I'm available. I am always up for a challenge and adventure - my last challenge was sailing, now seeking something different on land and planning to do the Camino de Santiago in 2017 so need to start training. Is there anyone out there who would like company on their walks?

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

My Message: Hello, my name is Alex, I am a well spoken, well educated male, fit, slim, single, 55 year old, living in a beautiful, rural area of Worcestershire. I received an email a couple of years ago from a chum who was backpacking his way around New Zealand, and he was encouraging me to get off my bottom, see more of this island, and perhaps join a walking club.... so here I am!
In February 2016 I had a major operation, but all is well now thankfully. Initially, I would like to gently ease my way back into walking, until full fitness is restored. I regularly used to walk the Malvern Hills, all through the Cotswolds, and have done many, many miles in the West of Ireland when I lived there. I still want to walk my regular walks, but now I have a mind to cast my net wider, in search of some fresh challenges and experiences. My ideal companion who I would like to join me? Female, slim, bright, optimistic, good company, has a sense of direction (as my map reading ability is very rusty). Someone who would be happy to have a few well deserved drinks and a pub meal at the end of the day. I no longer have a dog, so if you do happen to have a four-legged friend who loves the outdoor life, and who of course loves me too, then even better. I have plenty of time on my hands, during the week and at weekends, and I drive, so if you are looking for some genial and intelligent company along the way, perhaps we should make a plan.

I am a Walker, in my early 20s, based near West Bretton.

My Message: Hi everyone, my names Laura and I'm 22 years old. I'm looking for a walking partner from Monday - Friday in and around Yorkshire/Derbyshire. I wouldn't say I'm one of the fittest out there but I'm definitely working towards getting better and better. At the moment I'm currently walking 6/7 miles a day in all sorts of terrain alone, so I'm just looking for someone to witness the beauty of the outdoors with me. I love all things vintage, absolutely love history (especially the classical history) and I tend to 'get on with' people of a higher age than me. Men and women my age into walking/hiking is incredibly hard to find. I would like to point out after reading some other adverts that I am looking for something purely platonic as I am not single. There is no filter on my ad on whom I'm looking for, whether it's a gentle troll or a tougher hike I am absolutely happy in both elements.
Look forward to hearing from you!
Laura.

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

My Message: Hi,
I live in Nantwich. My wife and friends are not keen on mountains or high places so I sometimes walk with groups (clubs, walking festivals or charity events). Other times I walk alone. I am looking for new friends for occasional day or weekend walks (male, female or small group).
I'm easy going, and always up for a laugh. Ideally I prefer mountain walks in wild places, ridge walks, edge walks, anything with some elevation and views really. A bit of scrambling is always a welcome bonus. Also I like overnight walks to take in the sunrise over the mountains when conditions allow. Happy to do some lower level walks though particularly if the weather is bad. Ok with map and compass, never get lost, though occasionally I get delayed ;-)
Some people have said that I walk fairly fast, I’m not sure really so I went up Snowdon on one of the easy paths, good weather and an 8kg pack. Took just under 2 hours from car park to summit (about 4 miles and 3,000 ft. ) I think that is a steady relaxed pace but might be fast for some people, slow for others. (I can walk faster or slower though) Distance is no problem, really depends on the terrain but long or shorter days are fine.
Happy staying in Youth hostels, bunkhouses, camping, bivvy bag on a hill, etc.
My Favorite place to walk is Snowdonia (still plenty more to explore) but I would like to spend a bit more time on the high fells in the Lake District this summer and possibly do the Yorkshire 3 peaks (never done it but no idea why not). Scotland would also be good but may have to wait due to available time.
Open to suggestions for any new challenges, via ferrata, Caving, Sea to Summit, Perhaps Lakeland 3000s or Welsh 3000s (probably over a weekend though as I don’t think I am fit enough to do either of these in the 24 hours) I plan to retire in about 2 years so I will have more time for bigger adventures but for now I am limited to weekends though I can usually get away early on Fridays.
I love dogs, don’t have one at present but Border Collies are my favorite breed. I like them all though so if you have a dog that likes to walk that would be great.
If you fancy meeting up for a walk sometime please get in touch, I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks
Dave.
