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

My Message: I'm a 60 year old male based in Chatham Kent but I often travel to NW England and stay in Liverpool, Warrington or sometimes Manchester. I travel by train as I work for a rail company and don't drive but find that I can get to most of the places I like to go walking.
My walking interests are varied I used to do a lot of mountain walks a few years ago but haven't done any serious hard ones in recent years but I'm still fit to do long walks. I like canals, railway, coastal and river paths, moorland walks and around reservoirs maximum walk length I usually do are about up to 12 miles in 4-5 hours though I could shorten or lengthen it depending on a possible companion's need, if you have a dog I can work out a walk to suit your dog. I have lots of knowledge of walks around the NW and other area's.
I'm just looking for a friend either male or female to enjoy going walking within any of my favourite areas, I'm independent and would travel to meet at any place that is convenient. I'm a new member and haven't got a photo but hope to add one soon.

I am a Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Wakefield.
My Message: Hi, I am looking for walking companions either female or male. I would like to do reasonable walks of about 5 - 8 miles and looking for companions who like to do easier 1-3 type walks ( I'm not a mountain goat!) whilst also socialising with people with different interests (no forced marchers please!).
I really enjoy coastal walks and gettting out and about. I would like to mainly walk at weekends either local walks or further afield. I live in Wakefield in West Yorkshire and have a car so trips out to East, North Yorkshire and Lincolnshire prefered but I would consider travelling further. I also like camping and have my own "old" micro campervan.
If this message is of interest to you please let me know.
Best Wishes,
Diane

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

My Message: Hi all. I'm a 37 year old male from Derby, whom has quite recently developed a passion for the great outdoors - a passion, unfortunately, not shared with my city-going friends. My walking boots don't get to see anywhere near as much terrain as they deserve to, and I'm hoping that this website can change that.
I am therefore, looking for some company, male or female - age not an issue - who enjoys the walking, the fresh air, the exercise, and especially the scenery as much as I do. Whether it's a quiet, easy stroll, or something more demanding over several days, I really don't mind. The weather is also not a problem to me - like any sensible person, I prefer the sun to be in the sky and a mild breeze to be in the air, but I also enjoy walks in varying climates as long as I remember to pack the correct gear! :-)
If anybody reading this post feels in a similar situation, then please get in touch and drop me a message.
I look forward to responding. Thanks. Matt.

I am a Walker, in my early 60s, based near Poole.
My Message: Hello my name is Carole. I live in Dorset. I walk at least 5kms every day as I have a very energetic young dog. At the weekends we walk upto 23kms each day over beautiful heathland - so I am fit when it comes to dog walking. I love the outdoors, enjoying the peace and solitude of nature. I want to expand my horizons and do some serious walking but not alone as tend to get lost however not interested in walking with an organised group. I work full time so weekends are mainly when I'm available. I am always up for a challenge and adventure - my last challenge was sailing, now seeking something different on land and planning to do the Camino de Santiago in 2017 so need to start training. Is there anyone out there who would like company on their walks?

I am a Walker, in my early 70s, based near Buxton.

My Message: While I am still able to put one foot in front of the other, I would like to find some walking company with whom to discover even more of the Peak District where I now live.
I am articulate, I love the English language & have even been known to read the dictionary - how sad is that! I also have a wicked sense of humour and laugh a lot. I love animals and have a lovely young dog to share my home with, but really miss having another human being to share things with - like getting into walking gear to explore beautiful scenery and wild walks in the countryside, or at other times scrubbing up to go to a concert.
I am always keen to learn more about even seemingly remote subjects - self development is very close to my heart and over all I am usually pretty positive. I write articles for Derbyshire magazines and thoroughly enjoy the research side of it - we are so lucky to have the internet as a resource, certainly less bulky to use a laptop than the Encyclopaedia Britannica!!
When one is left living on one's own, there are so many every day bonuses that one misses - that lovely day's walk in beautiful scenery with the sun beaming down is so much more important when shared, the joint emotions of listening to stunningly moving music, as is cooking a superb meal and eating it with another (hopefully appreciative) human soul. Just as vital is the sharing of down times - they always say a trouble shared is a trouble halved, & how true that is. I used to adore having 'silly moments' when something like Fawlty Towers tickled you both so much that you both ended up laughing hysterically and by the end neither really even remembered what they were laughing at!
I'm accomplished at many diverse things, such as cooking but dislike cooking for one, and currently absolutely yearn for some highly intelligent, stimulating conversation which I have failed to get from my dog; if I can combine that with getting out into the countryside, please get in touch.
Regards,
Deborah

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

My Message: Hello, my name is Alex, I am a well spoken, well educated male, fit, slim, single, 55 year old, living in a beautiful, rural area of Worcestershire. I received an email a couple of years ago from a chum who was backpacking his way around New Zealand, and he was encouraging me to get off my bottom, see more of this island, and perhaps join a walking club.... so here I am!
In February 2016 I had a major operation, but all is well now thankfully. Initially, I would like to gently ease my way back into walking, until full fitness is restored. I regularly used to walk the Malvern Hills, all through the Cotswolds, and have done many, many miles in the West of Ireland when I lived there. I still want to walk my regular walks, but now I have a mind to cast my net wider, in search of some fresh challenges and experiences. My ideal companion who I would like to join me? Female, slim, bright, optimistic, good company, has a sense of direction (as my map reading ability is very rusty). Someone who would be happy to have a few well deserved drinks and a pub meal at the end of the day. I no longer have a dog, so if you do happen to have a four-legged friend who loves the outdoor life, and who of course loves me too, then even better. I have plenty of time on my hands, during the week and at weekends, and I drive, so if you are looking for some genial and intelligent company along the way, perhaps we should make a plan.

I am a Walker, in my early 20s, based near West Bretton.

My Message: Hi everyone, my names Laura and I'm 22 years old. I'm looking for a walking partner from Monday - Friday in and around Yorkshire/Derbyshire. I wouldn't say I'm one of the fittest out there but I'm definitely working towards getting better and better. At the moment I'm currently walking 6/7 miles a day in all sorts of terrain alone, so I'm just looking for someone to witness the beauty of the outdoors with me. I love all things vintage, absolutely love history (especially the classical history) and I tend to 'get on with' people of a higher age than me. Men and women my age into walking/hiking is incredibly hard to find. I would like to point out after reading some other adverts that I am looking for something purely platonic as I am not single. There is no filter on my ad on whom I'm looking for, whether it's a gentle troll or a tougher hike I am absolutely happy in both elements.
Look forward to hearing from you!
Laura.

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

My Message: Hi,
I live in Nantwich. My wife and friends are not keen on mountains or high places so I sometimes walk with groups (clubs, walking festivals or charity events). Other times I walk alone. I am looking for new friends for occasional day or weekend walks (male, female or small group).
I'm easy going, and always up for a laugh. Ideally I prefer mountain walks in wild places, ridge walks, edge walks, anything with some elevation and views really. A bit of scrambling is always a welcome bonus. Also I like overnight walks to take in the sunrise over the mountains when conditions allow. Happy to do some lower level walks though particularly if the weather is bad. Ok with map and compass, never get lost, though occasionally I get delayed ;-)
Some people have said that I walk fairly fast, I’m not sure really so I went up Snowdon on one of the easy paths, good weather and an 8kg pack. Took just under 2 hours from car park to summit (about 4 miles and 3,000 ft. ) I think that is a steady relaxed pace but might be fast for some people, slow for others. (I can walk faster or slower though) Distance is no problem, really depends on the terrain but long or shorter days are fine.
Happy staying in Youth hostels, bunkhouses, camping, bivvy bag on a hill, etc.
My Favorite place to walk is Snowdonia (still plenty more to explore) but I would like to spend a bit more time on the high fells in the Lake District this summer and possibly do the Yorkshire 3 peaks (never done it but no idea why not). Scotland would also be good but may have to wait due to available time.
Open to suggestions for any new challenges, via ferrata, Caving, Sea to Summit, Perhaps Lakeland 3000s or Welsh 3000s (probably over a weekend though as I don’t think I am fit enough to do either of these in the 24 hours) I plan to retire in about 2 years so I will have more time for bigger adventures but for now I am limited to weekends though I can usually get away early on Fridays.
I love dogs, don’t have one at present but Border Collies are my favorite breed. I like them all though so if you have a dog that likes to walk that would be great.
If you fancy meeting up for a walk sometime please get in touch, I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks
Dave.

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Durham Area.
My Message: Hi.. i like to go for walks around lakes and river, anywhere close to water really, ive just come back from a 4 day trip to snowdonia and in may i was in keswick around derwent water and ullswater, always with camera in hand.... ive only really been doing this for a few years so i guess im still a novice.. ( although many years ago i would be off camping every other weekend) I would love to be able to wander a little further off the beaten track but as i go walking on my own as yet im not brave enough to do this... although i enjoy walking on my own it would be nice to share the day, chat and laugh with others.. im looking for female company with similar ideas for days out or weekends.. i look forward to hearing from you..

I am a Walker, in my late 30s, based near Nantwich.
My Message: Hi, I've lived round here for a few years now but am yet to find some like minded walking buddies who are not tied up with small children and the likes. I would really love to get out there into the great outdoors on some proper walks. I do lots of little dog walking ones locally but I'd really love to get over to North Wales for example or the Lakes or anywhere I can really escape from Nantwich. It seems such a waste to have all that on my doorstep and not make use of it!! So I'm hoping to find some like-minded people or a walking group I can go with so please do get in touch if your interested and not too far away.
Jess

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

My Message: Hi there, I'm looking to meet new people interested in walking (funnily enough!), companionship and chatting - I'm a good listener ;). The last 3 years I have been winter hiking and climbing in the mountains around Glencoe learning navigation and avalanche skills, and the conditions were at times quite fierce! However, I now have a taste for some hiking outside of bleak winter conditions. With this in mind, whilst I do enjoy a tough challenging hike in the mountains, I do also appreciate the beauty of nature and can enjoy a much more gentle day in the hills with good company and an associated pub lunch! It would be great to meet someone who's been walking for a while since they would know all the good walks! I'm not a peak bagger (not sure if that's the correct expression!) but am not averse to trying any peaks that come across my path. I'm generally pretty fit because in addition to hiking I like to run, cycle, and swim, leading an active and outdoor-orientated lifestyle. I have my own transport and am happy to travel some distance to find a decent walk in the hills or mountains (I live in Essex so there aren't that many around!). I am free mainly at weekends but can do weekdays if I have enough notice and there is enough to entice me along as I would need to book time off work. Please drop me line if interested or you'd like more info. Look forward to hearing from you... Andy.

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Shrewsbury.
My Message: Whether a gentle stroll or a challenging trekking holiday, I'm always keen to pull on my walking boots and head off to places best seen on foot. I discovered the joys of walking whilst training for the London Moonwalk in 2007, and since then I've covered many miles in the UK, including Hadrian's Wall and climbing Snowdon, Ben Nevis and Scafell (although not all in one day) I've also spent a week walking in the beautiful french Pyrenees and completed two trekking holidays - in Kerala and to Everest Base Camp, both incredible experiences, and I'd love to do more e. g. Machu Picchu.
My other passion is skiing, and I've recently returned to the UK having taken a short career break to work in the french Alps last winter (the oldest chalet maid in town!) Now back behind a desk full time - suffering 'cabin fever' - I'm keen to get out walking as much as possible at weekends, please get in touch if you'd like to join me.
