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

My Message: Hi Folks: My name is Kev, i live near Kings Lynn in that well known mountaineering county of Norfolk! I am an experienced hill walker, Ex RAF, so not bad at Navigation.
I am a bit of a 'Munroist' and have now climbed over 70 of these large Scottish mountains. I regularly walk in Snowdonia and try to get up to Scotland at least twice a year. My long term walking partner has decided to give up on the sport, and I would really like some company on my walks. I also love cycling, especially cycle touring. Anyway enough rambling, don't be shy, get in touch.......... Cheers Kev

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

My Message: Hello, am looking to meet new friends for walking around the South West, particularly Exmoor and Dartmoor. Looking for weekend walking partners for a good long walk and a pub lunch or cream tea. Have fairly good fitness and walked the Coast to Coast walk last summer - fantastic. Also have a sister that owns a lovely pub in Powys so walkers around that area would be great also, will keep me from having to help with the washing up!
Hope to hear from you.

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

My Message: Hi

I live in London and am looking for fellow walkers to explore the countryside with on weekends.
I love to get my hiking boots on whenever I can.
I like doing walks in the counties around London, but I'm also looking to go further afield now that the weather is getting nicer and the nights longer.
So drop me a line if you're interested.
Thanks

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

My Message: Hi there,
I've only recently signed up to this and though it looked like a great idea to find like-minded people that may wish to join me out and about someday.
I'm 36, single and live / work in Pembrokeshire, West Wales.
I've always been keen to explore the great outdoors, and I'm always up for new challenges, however until recently I probably haven't made as much of an effort as I should have done. The fact that most of my friends don't share my passion for the outdoors has restricted me to a certain degree but I've decided to put that right!! So, hopefully I'll find willing companions to enjoy an afternoon / weekend walk or challenge sometime, perhaps with the prospect of lunch afterwards, who knows???
Failing that, I'll head out alone - I've decided our great countryside has too uch to offer to simply let the chance go by
If you're interested in joining me someday then I'd love to hear from you, and hope you'll get in touch before tooo long, thanks, Gregg

My Message: I love the mountains and walking - especially in the Lake District. I have walked every other week until the last year, and had mountain walking holidays in the Alps and Pyenees. Then working life has got too busy! I'm looking for an experienced walked to kick me back in gear... make me pick my boots up again for those all day walks! Prefer Saturdays.
If that sounds like you, hope to hear from you.

I am a Walker, in my early 30s, based near Newcastle Upon Tyne.

My Message: Hi All,

I'm Ross; I've been walking for some time now, and am posting this message for two reasons:

I'm interested in meeting a few new people (male or female, any ages - female prefered (;-)) but all welcome) in and around the North for more local walks (usually ending in a good pub!) and possibly further afield.

I'd also like to do the Three Peaks Challenge (or possibly the Yorkshire Three Peaks as a beginner option) this year but, one by one first - as it's quite a step up for me - and I don't just mean the 4411ft of Ben Nevis!

I want to do this as I'm now in my 30's, I want to push myself more and feel like I've achieved more with my life, so I'd like to meet a few people who feel the same - or equally people who just like those walks and would like to do them again, again all welcome.

Thanks for reading and Happy Walking!

My Message: Hi. I'm a 45 year old single female looking for male company to share walks, talks, and a sense of humour, and maybe a country pub lunch too.
I usually have alternate weekends free as the other weekends are spent convincing my two teenagers to become walkers too!
As I have my own transport, I can be fairly flexible as to location, though I prefer shorter walks of up to 4 or 5 miles initially.

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

My Message: Hello fellow walkers....... I'm looking for male or female company on walks, I joined a local ramblers club but felt the large numbers and ''clicks'' detracted rom the joy of the walk.... I'll be honest and say i'm not very good at map reading, but then i've never tried - happy to learn and be guided.... I have a horse and one dog, so although I spend all week in a suit I like to get my wellies and walking boots on at the week-end - As happy in the Hilton as I am in a tent, as happy with coffee from a flask as I am with a Gin and Tonic.... I enjoy star filled sky's and the beauty of each season, I love sunsets and sunrises (walking holiday in Gozo - fantastic!) I like log fires and cosy pubs, I'll walk in the rain, sun or wind..... Not very good with heights or cliff edges! I'm 5ft 10 and look good in a bobble hat at 40! I look forward to hearing from you.....

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

My Message: Female, 64, Kendal area

Hello I am fit and active and am looking for a male companion to share my passion of walking in areas around the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales and beyond. Although distance is not so important, I enjoy walking at all levels but particularly the ridges and summits of the Lakeland Fells. I do walk with a group occasionally but would prefer to have the company of a like-minded soul to share the experience of a good day out in the hills and to have the time to stop and admire the landscape, flora and wildlife. A visit to a teashop at the end of the day is always a plus. Do get in touch if at all interested, I would love to hear from you.

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

My Message: Hi, at the moment I am primarily interested in walking in the Yorkshire Dales + Peak District. I am trying to build up my fitness so prefer to spend as much time as possible walking and not in the car. I will be traveling further field in the future. I'm keen to hear from anyone who genuinely enjoys relaxed walks in pleasant landscapes. I'm a very flexible person, willing to adjust plans to fit in with other walkers, the weather etc (I'm not obsessive about ticking off routes)

Due to work I spend part of my time in Nottingham and the rest in Yorkshire and I am sometimes available for walking during the week. Mal

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Richmond N.yorks.

My Message: Hi everyone,
I'm new to this group so i'm hoping for some positive responses! I live in the Dales and haven't seen as much of them as i should have done due to not having a walking buddy... or two. I enjoy walking and cycling but find it a bit of a bore going on my own as it's nice to chat and share experiences... and sometimes stop off for some pub grub and a drink!
I enjoy anything from a Sunday stroll to a good brisk walk. I would love to explore more areas and i'm willing to drive to meet up with the right person/group.
Thanks for reading my message and hope to find friendly fellow walkers soon.

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

My Message: I retired last year and adopted two rescue dogs who I walk each day. Distance varies according to the weather!!! on a good day we will do 6-9 miles.
I used to walk with the Ramblers but since they dont allow dogs I cant really join them any longer. The guilt factor is too much to handle!!
I am looking for a like minded walking companion, preferably in or near Warrington to join me walking dogs. My dogs are well behaved and adore other people. i just enjoy looking at scenery, chatting and exploring new walks. Map reading with two dogs to watch is difficult!! I also miss human conersation.
Female company preffered.

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

My Message: Hi, I've recently moved area and am looking for people to walk with. I've been out with a walking group but would prefer a smaller group or individuals, male and female. I don't want to walk alone in an area I am not familiar with yet, though I can map read. I’ve done most of my walking in recent years in the Lake District. I'm reasonably fit but haven't done much this year, owing to house move. I am prepared to go further afield but initially want to walk within c 50 mls from Manchester, Lancashire / Yorkshire moors, Northern Peak district. Anything from 5-12 mls and pubs to finish is fine. Can walk most days. New year, hopefully new friends.

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

My Message: I am looking to do more walking and rebuild my life after being suddenly widowed. I sometimes walk locally with a group, and will also do walks with my family; but I would like to find a male walking companion in my own age group (50-60) to open up the possibility of planning some special expeditions that I wouldn't tackle alone. I run a business from home so organise my own time.

I do a lot of thinking while walking and would appreciate the companionship of someone who shares my love of the natural world, will be happy to have a laugh and a chat and share a pint or two in the pub at the end of the journey, but is also happy with companionable silence in beautiful surroundings. Also, would like to meet a competent navigator so that I can once more walk in the wilder areas of Britain. I relied on my husband as the expert hill walker since although I'm a reasonable map reader, I have a hopeless sense of direction!

For this reason, my recent solo enterprise was to start walking the West Coast path, of which I've done a few instalments over recent years (progressed from Weston Super Mare to Bude so far). I reckoned if I kept the sea on my right, I couldn't go far wrong. I was happy to do this trek alone while my husband was alive, but now I prefer to avoid too much solitude.

12 miles in a day is about my absolute maximum if there are any hills involved. I tend to be happier walking round lakes looking up at mountains rather than half killing myself struggling to conquer them, but can be persuaded to tackle a challenge at my own pace. I don't do route marching. I'm an experienced camper, excellent at logistics and making tea, and may be accompanied by a dog.
