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

My Message: Hi all.. New to the site and looking to arrange regular walks at weekends and potentially walking holidays etc I have not been walking for a while, used to wander around the cairngorms as a youth but since moving to england I havent really had the time until now to do much. Im raring to go now though and need to get a few walks organised to ease myself back in gently. Not looking for anything too taxing to start with but hope to build up to do something more adventurous in due course

Forest walking has always been my favourite and am looking forward to exploring the options for that down here.. I am more than happy to travel anywhere really and to try any kind of walking in any environment.

My main reason for getting into walking is to get back to a good level of fitness, allied to that of course I love being in the outdoors and meeting new people.. hence the reason for joining up here

I would consider myself to be fun and spontaneous with a desire to explore and go on little adventures.. come and say hello and hopefully we can organise something

I am a Walker, in my early 30s, based near Stoke-on-trent.

My Message: Hi there, Well I am a bit new to this so here goes! I have always loved the outdoors and with my current job am out in all conditions and away from home for periods of time. I would like to meet up with anyone from near to the west midlands of a similar age to explore all types of walking routes in the area and further afield. I am reasonable fit for my age and trying to get fitter and more healthy, so hope maybe getting out walking could kill two birds with one stone and meet people and get fit!

I would like to do challanges liek the three peaks in the future but must get out and about first! I did do snowdon a few years ago but would not mind doing it again maybe a different way as it was really foggy when we went up!!

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

My Message: Hi, I am a cheerful, happy go lucky, adventurous guy who has always had a facination for the outdoors-walking, camping, caving etc and a love of travel. I am planning to walk some long distance paths such as the Lancashire Coastal Way, Ribble Way or discuss any path you are interested in. I intend to video the walk and it would be fantastic to meet someone who would enjoy sharing the challenge. Probably do the walk in stages over a period of time. I am happy to begin with easy sections of about 5 miles enjoying the walk, increasing the distance as we get fitter. I am free most days and look forward to hearing from anyone who would like to join me in planning and doing some great walks. I am open to any other ideas and love country pubs.

I am a Walker, in my mid 50s, based near New Brighton, Merseyside.

My Message: hi, my name is Phil. I have been a walker, mountain climber and rock climber for most of my life, and spent more than 25 years in the foothills of the German Alps. I returned to the UK a few years ago, moving to Wirral, where I hoped to have good access to some of the best walking in the country. Unfortunately, I lost most of my sight a couple of years ago, and am now unable to travel or undertake walks away from my home turf independently. I would love to get out into the hills again, and recently spent a few days in the Dales, where I at least proved to myself that I can still walk independently over rough terrain, albeit a little slower than formerly. Locally, I walk over the beaches and dunes for a couple of hours every day with my boisterous, but lovable collie-cross, who would also love to be out in sheep country (on the leash, of course).

If anyone fancies seeing whether we can walk together, do get in touch.

I am a Walker, in my mid 40s, based near Clitheroe, Whalley, Accrington, Padiham.

My Message: I am a single 44yr old male looking for a walking partner around 38-46yrs for local general walks and some more challenging mountain ones in the lakes etc. At the moment due to work i can only walk some sundays or mondays for more distant walks but most evenings for shorter local walks.
I am a keen photographer so sometimes take some camera kit so may wish to stop for the odd shot. I havent done many mountainous walks recently as no one to do them with so may need breaking in again.
If you interested drop me a line.

Single female looking for interesting walking company, groups or fellow singles for weekend walks in Midlands, Peaks, Shropshire and further afield. Don't do maps and compasses (well not unless you want to get completely lost), so someone who does would be good. However, sometimes getting lost is half the fun! Look forward to hearing from you.

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

My Message: Recently retired professional male who can’t stand being indoors.
I usually do a couple of grade 3-4 walks a week and I hope to build-up to at least one 2/3 day walk each week, grade 5-9, in all weathers, over the winter months. I would prefer these to be mid-week but this is flexible. I’m looking for similar minded companions seeking to improve fitness, navigation, and hill-savvy skills. This is as much for safety reasons as for those deep philosophical conversations on climbs of 1000+ feet.

I’m no Bear Grylls – I have a modern campervan than I use as a base for longer trips but I consider the local Travelodge/BandB to be mandatory for sleeping! The van provides a neat facility for setting the heating on automatic timer and my must-have:- freshly brewed coffee.

I’m based in Hertfordshire and East Kent so I have a long drive to find any decent hills. You are bound to be en route to most of the national parks so location and lack of transport shouldn’t put you off. I’m not all climbing and route-marches, and expect to include wild-life reserves and historical places in any itinerary – but no shopping malls! You should expect to budget £50-£100 expenses for each trip.

I have no fixed plans or destinations, although the Munros in January are out, same for the Alps.
Let me know if you are interested and we can have a trial stroll up Box Hill or similar.

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

My Message: Hi
I have been getting lazy of late and only been walking the rolling downs of Hampshire, I recently went up Pen Y Fan and my body reminded me of muscles I had forgotten about. I would love to get back into walking more challenging walks. I used to spend a lot of time in the peak district arround Edale and would love to re aquaint myself with that area again, but am willing to go anywhere there is a descent ascent. Sharing the travel costs would be a great advantage.
I am a 52 year old male and would love to hear from anyone who is patient enough to walk with me whilst I get my leg muscles working again or people who are in a similar position to myself.

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

My Message: Hi, I am hoping to find walking friends to explore the great outdoors with. I havent done a lot of walking recently but am fairly fit. I played county standard netball all my life up to about three years ago. I've done a few 5k and 10k runs etc in the past. I am based in Hull but drive, so travelling a bit is not a problem. I am an easy going person with a lot of interests. I enjoy serious debates and light hearted chats. I love wildlife spotting particularly but enjoy anywhere scenic really. I have family in South Wales and am down that way every few weeks. Anyway, look forward to hearing from you.
