I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Tucson, Az Usa.

My Message: Hello Walkers (female & male)

I'm a desert-dwelling American hoping to arrange some walks for a holiday upcoming this summer. My dates are 27 June until 13 July. The only date I'm unavailable to walk is 3 July, when I have a London meeting.

Though I have some interest in Hadrian's Wall, I am open to walking in any part of the UK to which I can take public transport or hitch a ride, and where a good pint is never far off. I'm keen to find good company and lots of 'exotic' (non-arid!) scenery.

So, if you're looking for a walking buddy, or care to be a tour-guide for a visitor, please drop me a line!

Best,

Leigh

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

My Message: Hi, basically I'm looking for mainly male walking buddies for reasonably easy to moderate walks of up to about 5 or 6 miles to start with and hopefully improve on that as time goes by.

I'm available most weekdays and weekends but I do have some time restrictions early mornings and late afternoons.

I must stipulate that I will not meet anyone who smokes and as I'm quite tall I would like to walk with someone who is 6' or over

Hope to hear from you soon

My Message:
Hi, I'm Ruth and have just joined this site. I've been walking on my own for a few years now but getting fed up with my own company and would prefer to share the walks, the views and the weather (good and bad) with someone.
I'm a steady away kinda gal (that's Yorkshire speak for slow!) but happily do 20 miles a day on a weekend in the Dales or Peak District. Alternatively weekends away further afield in the Lakes, Snowdonia or Scotland are my preferred areas.
Happy with either a buttie break on the hillside or pub grub afterwards but always like to finish with a drop of liquid refreshment.

I am a Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Northallerton.

My Message: Hello. I am a recently retired fit and active 64 year old single female who has every intention of walking as much of our own country as possible and for as long as I am fit and able to do so. All my friends are still working (poor things) and I would much rather walk with a friend (male or female) than on my own. I live about 40 minutes north of York and have a car so a reasonable travelling distance is not a problem and as work is no longer a consideration – any day is fine.
I love any distance of walk but am probably happiest between 8 and 12 miles with time to stop and enjoy the beauty of the countryside, am quite happy to walk whatever the weather (almost!) – and if there happens to be a teashop on the journey…. Well I admit I take some dragging past it!
Would welcome replies from any age and either sex but please don’t ask me to go camping…. Where on earth would I plug in the hairdryer???

I am a Walker, in my late 40s, based near Los Angeles, Ca..

My Message: I'm coming to the UK in April (last two weeks probably) to do a bit of sight seeing, and I'm an avid hiking. I would really like to meet some friends to do some interesting hikes with. I'd love to do some hikes along Hadrian's Wall, any hikes with some historical connections would be a dream. I'm very fit and experienced, so there is not a hike I won't do! Thank you very much for reading my post! Cheers, Will

PS: I haven't marked any counties, as I really don't know what's what, and I'm open to suggestions!

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

My Message: Hi, I love walking, getting out in the fresh air and seeing some amazing scenery. I have walked all over the UK with friends over the years but would now like to find other like minded individuals to share the experience. I am comfortable with all grades of walk and most terrains. Although I live in Norfolk I am willing to travel and actually enjoy the hills!
If you fancy seeing some great countryside then get in touch.

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

My Message: I'm a novice intending to get into more walking this year. I relish fresh air and country or coastal views, but it would be so much more encouraging, and fun, to share the experience with an interesting male walker and enjoy pleasant conversation, maybe incorporating a visit to a historical site or area of natural interest. I'm a professional artist and take inspiration from the coast and from quaint or unusual architecture. I like to take photos now and then whilst walking. I can walk weekdays or weekends, depending on my varied work schedule, and I'm a car owner. I enjoy looking at maps, and I CAN read them - but I wouldn't rely on it!

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

My Message: Male, 50, (gay if that matters) who goes walking most months with a club, for a day in the Lakes, but other than that and a couple of days during Lakes/Dales holidays get little opportunity. My partner hates walking and my sister and brother in law can't get away often enough (just those two holidays). I have gone walking alone, which is great for thinking time, but views are better shared and having someone to talk to/keep you going is a definite improvement.
Trying to get through the Wainwrights, now on 165. I work a rota system that gives a mix of days free weekday and weekend, with 6 out of 8 weekends free.
I love steady Lakeland walks, with a couple of Wainwright summits (or more!), plus friendly banter over a few real ales in the pub after. I am looking for like minded, Wainwright bagging, company as view admiration is better shared.

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

My Message: Hiya, I'm planning to walk The Pennine way in sections. I'm walking from Edale to Hawes in April and May as day walks then Hawes to Greenhead in July and the last leg in August to fit in with work and available accommodation. If anyone wants to join me, either for a section or just one day if I'm passing by your area, please get in touch. Aside from that, I'm looking for walking friends, male or female, who want to get out and about locally and possibly further afield. I enjoy walking round The Yorkshire Moors, into The Dales, Forest of Bowland and Pendle. I'm a fairly experienced walker and a good navigator. I'm not into bagging or walking for the sake of it; I like to enjoy the walk and the experience. I enjoy anything from a 4 mile amble to about 14 miles in a day. I've done the Bronte Round (23 miles) over two days and The Bradford Millennium Way (46 miles) over 4 days. I like to finish off a good walk with a visit to a pub or café or a look around the local towns or villages. I quite often have time off in the week but also have some weekends off too. I'm a flexible, easy going person who can talk about a wide range of things. Give me a shout if you'd like to go for a walk!

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

My Message: Hi, I'm Ellen and I would like to meet a like minded male who is as interested in the outdoors as me. I work in a school and have the school holidays off so would like to make the most of them.
I have just got back from the Peak District, which was so lovely but didn't do any quality walking as I was with my sister and Mum. Their idea of a nice walk is to potter about the shops and walk on tarmac! Not my idea of a good walk.
I love new adventures and experiences, I have white water rafted which I would do again, my bike is looking very sad in my garage as I haven't been out on it in a while, but mainly I can't wait to meet a like minded person who likes nothing more than walking in amazing scenery and experiencing the great outdoors.

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

My Message: Hi, I’m Steve, 55, 5’ 6” tall, average build, but not as fit as I think I am! I’m looking for a female walking companion to share big & small adventures in the great outdoors. I have the Ridgeway and Cotswolds close by but prefer the high places like the Lake District, Snowdonia and the Brecons and head for them when time and funds allow. I also enjoy coastal walks or mooching around a town. I love camping and am looking to trying wild camping this year as I’m a keen photographer wanting to capture mountain sunrises and sunsets. Not averse to the odd B&B or hotel now and again though. I work office hours so am usually free at weekends, and summer evenings locally. I think I’m a reasonable navigator (thank you GPS!). And it’s always nice to go for a drink and chat at the end of the day. I’m not really into route marches but like to stop to admire the view and take photos. Happy to walk in all weathers. Happy in my own company but it would be great to have a like-minded soul along for the journey.

My Message: Hello, I’m Sandi, fit and 59, no partner and in a full-time job but with weekends free. Done good distances all round Europe and Africa and back home I walk, run or cycle 4 and a half miles to and from work most days but really like to stretch my legs a good 12 – 16 miles at the weekends when possible dependent on the season and daylight. Moonwalks and Marathon walks also done and still on the list and I would really like to meet up with anyone wanting to share company and make new friends and am happy to travel or make a weekend of it somewhere. I’d love to notch up some of the UK national trails (Still trying to get to section 6 of the Ridgeway) and my great wish is to be able to complete the South West coast trail! Just love being outdoors and happy to pub or picnic. Currently looking for someone to do the South Downs way all in one with me over a week in August.... Any takers?
