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

My Message: Hi, I'm Ant.

I've been a semi-regular day hiker for a while now, but have recently started to go out on the hills more frequently. I mostly walk around my local area (Lancashire) or the Lake district, but occasionally venture off to the Yorkshire Dales. Not many of my friends hike, and those that do are often busy when I'm free and v. v. - I'm quite happy to walk solo, but would prefer not to do so all of the time ;), and yes I've tried rambling clubs, but find them a little inflexible.

I haven't done much camping, but have really enjoyed what little I have done and would love to do more.

I'd say my navigation skills are average, but there's definitely room for improvement.

I'm ideally looking to meet someone around my local area, but anyone willing to travel to the Lakes or Dales is welcome also. I have a car, so the Peak District is also in reach. If you're only interested in day hikes that's fine, but (wild) camping is also something I'd like to do more of, so let me know if you do to. Age or gender isn't a factor, and am also happy to meet up with couples/hiking partners for 3-4 man walks.

Hope to hear from ya!

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

My Message: Hi - am 42, happily married and living in the North West.. so not looking for romance! Am relatively fit and active and looking to build walking fitness so I can do some long distance walking next year. Thinking nice intermediate fells in Lakes rather than full on peaks in the mist, ice and rain. Have some basic map reading skills but anyone who knows more than me would be welcome! I am happy to hostel or camp and have shared ownership of a knackered tent that has seen some muddy fields.I am looking to hear from individuals (females preferred) or groups (mixed gender) to organise some walks soon.

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

My Message: I am a 59 year old lady - relatively fit who loves walking anywhere. I love going on walking holidays in the UK and Europe and would like to travel further afield with walking being an important part of my holiday. I live in the Western Isles and do lots of walking in this area too. I am self employed, so I am very flexible with my time. I am looking for someone who has similar interests, who enjoys a good walk with perhaps some wine and a good meal at the end of it. I suppose you would call me a fair weather walker as I hate starting off a walk in the rain and can't see the point in plodding up a mountain if there isn't going to be any views once you get there, don't mind if it starts to rain once I've set off though. I like to take my time to enjoy the views when i'm walking in the mountains. I love all types of music (I'm a very amateur musician), would like to try some cycling again, enjoy a good book and like theatre. I don't do camping/caravanning - I prefer a comfy bed and other creature comforts at the end of a good day's walk. Like good beer and wine and am up for a laugh at any time. Life's too short to be too serious.

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

My Message: Hello my name is Jo (female) and I like to be outside as much as possible. Whether it be a walk around a local lake or a trek up Snowdon I just enjoy putting on my boots and getting out and about.

I would like to meet new friends to share my love of the outdoors for evenings and weekends. I am easy going and enjoy easy walks or more of a challenge (if I am not being lazy) and I love the reward at the end of a trek, mainly the pub dinner and a nice cold drink.

I work in Leeds and live in Wakefield.

Please contact me if you would like a walk.

I have walked in Somerset and Dorset, now live in Sussex, which is overcrowded.
Now I'm hoping to explore some of the wilder areas, and find companionship to share it.
Venturing further afield, including a return to the Jurassic coast, is the plan. So, talk, then walk?

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

My Message: Hi,
I'm 35 and looking to find a male friend for some walks, aged between 30-45. I'm a big fan of the lake district, although Yorkshire and the Peak District are good too, and a little closer.
Ideally looking to meet for short local walks first and then with the possibility of walking weekends 'up north' or Wales... or wherever there is nice countryside.
I love the challenge of getting up a hill/mountain, and would like to meet someone like minded (who does't just want to peak-bag, or do 15 miles route marches or rock climbing!), with a good beer in the pub after, and a meal.
I'm also keen on photography, but try not to stop every five minutes as you'd never get anywhere !
I'd also like to explore walks abroad, having been to the Dolomites and Switzerland, which are beautiful areas, but need the right company. (Again, I'm not into anything too adventurous, just similar grade walks to those in the lakes!)
Please message me.
Coral

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

My Message: Hi. I am relatively new to this walking malarky so I am looking for strolling partners, male and female, who are a similar age to myself (hopefully I will be able to keep up that way!) and who can introduce me gently into this wonderful pastime. Unfortunately my friends haven't fallen in love with hill walking as I have so this seemed the perfect way to meet and make new friends.
I am a single straight female who works far too hard during the week so I need to escape my cell (pet name for my office incase you were getting worried!) at the weekends and there is no better way of doing that than exploring this beautiful country whether that be walking or cycling.
The Lake District has to be my all time favourite but I am happy to be proven otherwise! I am easy company and would appreciate buddies with a crazy sense of humour and zest for life that would match my own! Looking for walks that range from 5-10 miles although happy to do more if necessary and like most on here I enjoy the mandatory pit stop at a pub or tea room! If you can identify with any of the above it would be lovely to hear from you.

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

My Message: Hi. I’m a 50 year old single male who’s keen on walking/rambling, who delights in the natural scenery in its ever-changing moods, along with wildlife and landmarks; generally anything I may encounter along the way. Having a curious mind, I tend to finish a new walk with more questions than when I started, to which end I’ll endeavour to find answers to.

Hoping to meet a likeminded female with whom I can share and enjoy my walks (Don’t mind males or groups either). Who I can also share and impart knowledge learnt while walking, as well as any other topic, and likewise gain information from.

All my walks to date have been in North Wales, mainly in the stunning Snowdonia area, along beaches and sea cliffs, rivers and valleys, hills and quieter mountains. I’d like to share these sights with those who are interested. I’d also like to expand my range and venture further afield and discover other areas of the UK.

Would be delighted to hear from you. Dave.

My absolute dream is to go to see the Eiger - not to climb it tho, I also love camping. My son (who's 10) and i also love all parts of Derbyshire.

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

My Message: Hi, I'm James from North Devon. Walking has really helped me to recover my strength and stamina after a long period of illness. Dartmoor is right on my doorstep and I have been making a determined effort this year to get to know it better. Wild camping on the moor has a deeply therapeutic effect on me - underlining the importance of keeping things simple and in balance.

I usually walk alone, my friends are usually busy, and I think some company would be nice. Dartmoor is a wonderful playground that I would never tire of but I am happy to try anywhere in the UK that I can reach by train. I have a spare tent that I can lend out if you are not sure whether camping is your thing but would like to give it a go without spending lots of money. Looking forward to hearing from you.

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

My Message: Hi 52. Looking initially to do some of the national trails - ideally 3 - over the summer of this year (2014). Open to other suggestions, but the plan is Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast, then Cotswolds and finally either the Hadrian's Wall walk, or Pembrokeshire Coast Path.

A lot of history - but that is the problem - it is history! So fitness has slid away, and I am looking to put that right as gently as possible. Add in a splash of photography for my own travelogue, and basically you have it. Gentle walks over some distance (anticipating camping as a default) with frequent photo stops.
