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

My Message: Hi I'm Sharon, 40, seeking walking companion male 40-48 who doesn't mind showing a rather shy but fun loving lady new horizons. Love walking in the Dales but fed up walking alone and would love to find someone to enjoy the beautiful scenery, good conversation and a few laughs along the way. Need a bit of guidance on new routes as just getting back into walking, been walking often by myself but wary of trying new walks alone in case of misshaps. Free most weekends and find walking the best way to unwind after a hectice week especially if followed by a drink and relaxing by an open fire in a rural pub! Drop me a line if your interested.

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

My Message: Hello, I'm 32 years old and have relatively recently found my feet. I get out as often as I can (2-3 times per week) and am enjoying every minute (almost!)
I'm limited in terms of people to walk with as my time off is often mid week. It would be nice to have some company and I would love to do some more adventurous walks than I can safely do my own - not forgetting that the pint at the end tastes far better with company. So, if you are an experienced walker, a relative novice or somewhere inbetween feel free to get in touch.
Despite my inexperience I have bags of determination and big ambitions!

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

My Message: Hi I'm a 40 something male, looking for some companions to go walking in the Lakes, Peaks and Yorkshire areas. I live in the Howardian Hills area of North Yorkshire, so the moors are on my doorstep and I have walked in many areas around here. Unfortunately my family don't really share my enthusiasm for walking so I tend to pack a rucksack on 1 day of the weekend to escape on my own. Would rather have a bit of company along the way and thats where you come in ! I'm planning to do all the Wainwrights before i'm 50, so I am looking to be in the Lakes on a reasonably regular basis in the next 7 years, failing that some day trips to other areas like the Peak District, Yorkshire Dales etc. would be good. I'm easy to get on with, strong enough on nav skills not to get lost too often and can tackle anything from a flat 3-5 miler to a full days hike of several peaks. All walks planned with a pint at the end ! Let me know if you are interested in joining me!

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

My Message: I've had a lot of enjoyment walking on my own but it occurs to me that some companionship might be a pleasant change. Based in Oxford, I'm looking for a few people to walk the Pembrokeshire coastal path, or explore the Peak District (or elsewhere) at weekends - probably day walks with B and B although I'm not averse to camping in the summer months.

Box No: 81035

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

My Message: Just finding my legs again as I have the time to walk once again. But really its no fun out by yourself, its much nicer to appreciate a view with a companion. Of course the most enjoyable way to end a day, is with a drink and good meal in a cosy hillside pub.
Really enjoy NYM, the Dales and Lakes, but would like to explore other Northern areas too. Quite like the idea of doing the Wainwrights. Eventually I'd like to work up to doing the C2C or other long distance path.
I work away from home, so when I am home, I'm home 24/7, so am available mid week or weekends.
So can I interest any one in a walk or hike?

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

My Message: Bored housewife, I am 40 years old and need to get out walking more often. Looking for other mums or dads to go for walks around West Yorkshire at first, then hopefully to go further afield, Coast to Coast, West Highland Way, Pennine Way etc. Need to work around school times when my husband is away, but flexible when he is home. After 3 children I badly need to get back into shape. I have my labrador also, so anyone with friendly dogs would be great. Happy to drive to meet up with someone, and will walk in all weathers.

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

My Message: 47 year old male. Born and Bred in West Yorkshire, wild and wacky sense of humour would love to meet a slightly younger lady with a view to walking the Penine Way together, when i was younger i did the three peaks in Yorkshire, but now am totally out of practice and need a wild person to knock me back into shape, i love camping, but subject to weather conditions, and time of year to plan things, camping is debatable, i really want to do the Penine Way and a friendly female for company and the odd pint of fine beer/ale at the end of a long days' stroll would seem idealic, i'm a mere male and need some tuition on ordnance survey map reading ( my memory is fading), anyone up for it at your convenience, i dont work so i can manage it any time but we are not all alike.
Thanks
Ray

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

My Message: Well tired of walking on my own. Like another to take deep breaths with. I am 46, fit, sane and used to regular walks weekly for exercise and then longer ones weekends and hols. Been to lakes/Applecross/skye this year and have done a couple long distance West Highland Way. Like to have a walking companion. Confess to no tech navigational skills but up/round Loch Callater and Kander yesterday and Mt Keen on Friday so anyone in the area interested in doing the compass in a mist I can follow.

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

My Message: Hi all,
I'm a keen walker, early fifties, single, who enjoys good company on the hills and the reward of a pub meal or a tea shop visit at the end of the ramble. I enjoy regular fellwalks in the Lake District, coastal yomps in Northumberland and the occasional visit to the North York Moors and Scotland. Looking for like minded female walkers with a gsoh, a spare flask (mine keeps breaking) and with the capability to switch off, enjoy the views - and tolerate the occasional dodgy navigational faux pas! Spare compass and torch essential. Extra sandwiches optional.

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

My Message: I am specially looking for a female companion of any age who likes to walk and talk. I love good laugh. I am interested in most things and my hobbies are mostly of the all round active healthy kind, body and mind. My philosophy is 'give and take' and 'it takes two'.
Also, in school term time I like to walk weekdays between 9 and 3 preferably and not too far away from here in Sheffield i. e. Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire mostly, but not exclusively.
I work from home, mostly on the pc, so my hours are very flexible, and I am happy to have an IM chat on MSN or Yahoo or similar to get to know each other a bit first.
I look forward to hearing from you, talking to you, and hopefully 'going for a walk' together!
My laptop (and mobile phone) go with me everywhere so I check for replies wherever I am.
Matt

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

My Message: Hi There,

I am a 41 yr old male who has been very active all his life.

More recently, I have developed more of a love for the great outdoors, and love walking and mountain biking.

Compared to some of you out there I may appear a bit of a novice, in terms of experience anyway, but believe me, I know my limitations and love to push myself beyond them, so I am up for anything you are.

As the only people I know who do this sort of thing are a few work colleagues, who I dont want to spend all my time with, I am looking for like minded adults of a similar age group to do things with.

If this sounds like you, then contact me and we can go from there.

I am in the South East but will gladly travel

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

My Message: Looking for a walking buddy? Perhaps we can help each other. My name's John and I'm very keen on walking. I'm 34 and live in Bolton in Lancashire. I have about twenty years' walking experience and am comfortable on various terrains from low-level walks to the mountains of the Lake District and Wales. I am physically fit and can easily walk twelve to fourteen miles per day. Swimming and cycling are two of my other interests. The only difference between you and me is that I cannot see. I am therefore looking for people to walk with who can act as my eyes. Guiding me is very much easier than you might think and I can easily explain to you how to do it, even if you've never guided a blind person before. The main things you need are an open mind and common sense. If you've got those, we should get on great! If you're interested in meeting up for a walk, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.

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

My Message: I’m a 40 something male based in Cheshire. I used to walk the fells in my teens but career, life and children intervened for a while. I recently decided to get myself fit - endless weekends of The X Factor, Match of the day, beer and Chinese takeaways took their toll – and I am now in decent shape again. I don’t think I’m ready for the Olympics yet but I can put one foot in front of the other for most of the day and I’m raring to get up the higher fells and some of the big ‘uns in Snowdonia. I’ve had a few outings with friends, wife and family recently but they only want to go out when the sun is cracking the flags, there is a following wind, and the route is all downhill
I’m generally regarded as witty but quiet; intelligent but not a geek; blokish but not hung up on football. My politics are pro liberal and anti racism, but I won’t bore you with it. I’m told I’m clumsy but I have a good sense of direction: This probably means I will fall over at some point, but at least I will fall in the right direction. My main loves are my family, music and the outdoors
If you’re a bloke with a desire to spend the occasional weekend (or rare weekday) on the hills then please contact me and open negotiations.

regards,
Chris
