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.

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

My Message: Hi,

I am a walker and a runner and like to do moderate walks, sometimes leisurely.
I am interested in finding companions to go walking with either at the weekends or sometimes during the week. I am self employed so can be flexible with walking arrangements.
I am interested also in looking for like minded people who would like to do the pilgrimage walk Camino de Santiago next year sometime. Please drop me a line if you are interested and particularly if you live in the north west region. O:) Karen

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

My Message: Hi! I love the outdoors so much. Try to walk most weekends in all weathers. I will travel to derbyshire, midlands, shropshire and anywhere in driveing distance. Do enjoy going further if time allows.
Love to just go out and enjoy the day, haveing laughs along the way. Still after many years have a tendancy to get lost but feel that it is a learning process and eventually make it back to the car :-)
I have gradually mastered the compass but still needs lots of practice.
Look forward to those great days out with someone who finds the beauty of the countryside breathtakeing.
Thank you for showing an interest, and enjoy your walking!!!! :-)

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

My Message: Having recently retired from the Armed Forces I'm keen to find new friends who are interested in the more 'extreme' and 'difficult' hikes throughout the UK. Obviously being a bloke I'd enjoy the company of a fit and experienced female, but actually would prefer anyone who enjoys the wild outdoors and being way off the beaten track. I prefer extended hikes and spending time under the stars. I have all the requisite gear, GPS tech tent, maps, rations, EPIRB, etc etc. I also have over twenty years military experience so I'm used to 'roughing it'.

Hope to hear from someone soon.

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

My Message: Hi, I am Graeme, a 44 year old male from Windermere, looking for female walking partners of similar age, and a love of walking the Lake District fells as well as other areas. I am young at heart, resonably fit (like to think so anyway), and also enjoy running and open water swimming.

I am interested to hear from anyone of any ability, who would like to do some walking in the Lakes but I am also willing to travel to other areas. I am Interested in day walks, short walks, or long distance walks. I will be more than happy to show anyone around my part of the world should they wish to visit.

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

My Message: Hi
I'm Jill. I am an easygoing, friendly, fun to be with 40 year old.
I am a keen walker who would love a walking companion. Sadly, my friends do not share my interest and walking on my own isn't much fun.
I would like to explore walking routes that are reasonably close to home but would also love weekends away. I have thought about doing the coast to coast walk or the dales way loads of times but would much prefer to have someone for company, a chat and a laugh with along the way.
I am not a great navigator - but seem to manage. If I am lucky enough to meet up with a confident map reader on here..... I'll make the pack ups!

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Jill

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

My Message: Hi,

I’m a black female who’s a total beginner at walking. I’m looking for single male - but I’m not looking for a date :-), or female friends to go walking with. I live in central London and I’m pretty open about where we go walking as I don’t mind sharing petrol costs to get to the walk if you drive. I don’t really know where the ideal places are to go walking so I’m looking someone who would be willing to plan and lead our walk. I’m down to earth and chatty and don’t mind if we end up in a country pub afterwards for a well deserved meal/drink. I’ve ticked the areas that I’ve heard of but I don’t mind going somewhere new.

So c’mon, get in touch and lets go walking! :-)

I love to walk in the Lakes, Dales, Howgills, Peak District, North Pennines, Northumberland areas as they are within day-driving distance. I would also love to walk in Wales and Scotland but I couldn't do those areas as day walks!

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

My Message: Hi I am Ellen, widowed and live near Hinckley (Leicestershire) although Scotland is my native home. I am looking to make new friends and perhaps find someone special who has a similar outlook on life to me. I enjoy all sorts of walking and have just completed the West Highland Way climbing Ben Nevis as a finale. I have recently been trekking in Nepal in the Annapurna Range BUT I am equally happy exploring the hidden parts of the UK.

My other interests are running, keeping fit, gardening and most things involving the outdoor life. I also enjoy travel to far flung places.

I have a strong sense of adventure and look forward to hearing from anyone who finds my profile interesting!!

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

My Message: Hi, probably, like most people on this site, i'm just getting back into walking, after an absence of about 12 months, my last hike was around 26 miles, completed in around 7 hours, along part of the South Downs way, and it really was like walking a marathon ! I hope this doesn't deter prospective walking buddies from replying to my ad. I'm quite happy walking any distance, over any type of terrain, in any kind of weather, wether it be 4 miles, or 24 miles, as long as the company is good, and there's a rewarding pint of local ale, in a cosy little hostelry at the end of it.
I consider myself quite fit, i do a bit of indoor climbing, mountain-biking, the occasional bit of camping, and although it doesn't require much physical exertion, like to fish. I would definitely be up for the odd weekend further afield, camping, or in a bandb, and am quite willing to jump on a train to rendezvous, (i drive, but currently car-less).
So, i'm looking for a regular hiking buddy, male, or female, must be easy-going, and have a pretty good sense of humour. I work full-time, Mon, till midday Friday, so weekend walking is best for me.
Think that pretty much covers it, if you'd like to know more, or would like to hook-up for a hike, drop me a line, i'd love to hear from you. All the best, Jim

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Stockton-on-tees.

My Message: Hi there. I'm hoping to find male or female walking companions for weekend day walking. I must admit, I'm a little out of practice, so you would have to go easy on me at first! My partner and I enjoyed walking together - we have walked in the North Yorkshire Moors, the Yorkshire Dales, The Lake District, Snowdonia, and the Sierra Nevada mountains in Andalucia. But sadly, following a long illness, I lost her to cancer at the start of this year. I do miss walking, but cannot face doing it on my own, so I would be very grateful to any good samaritans out there!
