Box No: 110290
I am a Walker, in my mid 40s, based near Devon.
 My Message: Having recently lost my regular walking buddy to a new romance I am looking for a companion who is keen to share ' Days to remember'! I am lucky to have lots of friends locally who enjoy sharing the great outdoors but I am keen to find a special someone who will perhaps have time to walk more of the world with me. I do have some basic navigational skills which I am keen to develop alongside a trusted companion who would be happy to face those unexpected times of adversity together and find rays of sunshine in wet mountain days!
I generally love to be active and outdoors and am always curious to see what's around the corner. I am as happy walking to the end of the road on a moonlit night as I am to share a wet dog by an open fire or a view from a bivey bag bed on a mountain top!
I live near the Dartmoor national park but have walked in the Pyrenees, Scotland, Wales and the Lakes and would be happy sharing adventures around the UK and Europe although I might be persuaded to go further afield.

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Birmingham.
My Message: Hi I’m Nigel a keen dog walker, by that I mean where I go so does the dog (border collie), Snowdon, kinder, Nevis, or even Sutton park (locals will know where that is), and if it’s not safe for the dog I don’t go so the Glyders are out. I work shifts so most of my walking is done locally but try to a decent hike once a month, I.e. the peak district, Staffordshire moorlands, or wales when the days are longer. Holidays tend to be in the UK but the hillier the better. I'm looking for company to share the views and conversation (I love my dog but his conversation is a bit limited) and a maybe a pint of two at the end of the day.

Box No: 106670
I am a Walker, in my early 40s, based near Nottingham.
My Message: Hi, I'm Mark... I'm looking for walking buddies in the East Midlands area. I work full time, shifts for the emergency services so my days off vary. Most of my friends work during the week so if i'm on rest days then i'm often walking on my own... don't mind this but it would be good to find others to hook up with for a walk, pint, chin wag..... (also free some weekends) I'm very easy going, got loads of interests and a very broad humour. I walk fairly often in the peaks and have also walked in the lakes, North Yorks and Scotland. I usually follow the guides on this site although can just about read a map! I'm fairly fit and usually choose walks 12-15k, don't mind a tough walk or a nice chilled one... Hope to hear from you.

I am a Walker, in my late 40s, based near N.E Lincolnshire.
 My Message: Looking for someone to share a walk with, most distance, pace and terrain.Have been talked into walking the Camino De Santiago across Spain for a second time 2016, having done it in 2012, so need to get out and build my fitness up again.Really I'm looking for regular walking buddies to share the experience and fun with, however if the right person literally walks into my life then that is great too.I love the outdoors and try and get out as much as possible, often with the rabid mutt,my little crazy dog.When not working, walking or dreaming,I can be found painting or crafting, so the odd visit to a art gallery,craft show or theatre/concert is also a passion for me.Love music of many genres and Love to laugh and seek the funnier things in life, also the simple things, a good sunset, open fire or even the odd night under the stars cooking with good company and good food.I have lived a life of many adventures and changes and still have more to explore, quite a gypsy heart at times, slowly settling down a little, would like to share the next adventure with someone preferably. I am pretty flexible with work, can be available most weekends and sometimes week days. Don't mind a good hard walk as a training day but do also love a steady stroll to take in the scenery and the sounds. Walking to me is many things. a time to think, a time to push myself, a time to get away from the madness of the other world, a time to be alone or most importantly a time to share with people of many paths in life.
At the moment I'm in Lincolnshire but looking at moving south next year, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall direction so heading down that way soon for a recce and maybe the odd walk or two, if anyone down that way cares to join me for a walk or has some suggestions that would be great.

Box No: 81059
I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Cheltenham.
My Message: 50yr old male looking for anyone to walk with, male or female but preferably around my age (give or take a decade). I'm a bit out of practice since I used to go on walks with a local group a few years ago but I'm fairly confident I can keep up. I would like to get back into walking but the groups are full and don't offer the flexibility, I would prefer to choose between a Saturday or Sunday. I'm in Gloucestershire and I'm happy to travel to the surrounding counties. Any distance or pace just to get me out in the fresh air but around the 7 mile mark with a rewarding pint at the end would be ideal.

Box No: 110250
I am a Walker, in my early 60s, based near Esher.
 My Message: I (Stephen) have always loved walking in the great outdoors, but not (so far!) in any particularly organised or ambitious way. Having said that, I do try to get away on a hiking holiday in the Alps every year and for that I typically handle a climb of 1000 metres in a day and distance of 20km+ without discomfort, so I must be in fairly good shape … far better shape than I have any right to expect at my age of just turned 60.
I have literally just retired and so I now have time to indulge my joy of walking more than I have been able to do while I was working. I am hoping to find someone, or even a few, like-minded to share my enjoyment with, both locally in the Surrey/home counties area and perhaps sometimes further afield … Lakes, Wales, Scotland, abroad … anywhere really.
A good part of the enjoyment for me is the companionship, so a good chat in a suitably situated pub would be a good complement to the walking and fresh air.

Box No: 104690
I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Harrogate.
My Message: Hi, I'm Tony and my great passion is the British countryside and wildlife.
I love walking in the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and North York Moors.
I used to play rugby, football and basketball, but advancing years have now restricted my sporting activities to gentler pastimes such as golf, darts and snooker.
The two things at the top of my 'bucket list' (I HATE that expression!) are to climb all the Wainwrights and to see a full Ring Cycle (Now completed).
I would like to explore Wales, Scotland and Ireland and have been bitten by the multi-day walking bug, having done The Tabular Hills, Dales Way and Coast to Coast walks, and would love to do more.

Box No: 110196
I am a Walker, in my mid 40s, based near Lytham.
My Message: Hi, I am looking to meet likeminded people for walking and camping trips. I have been into walking for almost 17 years and like nothing better than been out in the countryside. I enjoy low level walks as much as the challenge of a mountain. I have been walking with an old friend since I started in 1998 and he was the one who got me into this wonderful past time. We still go walking together but he isn’t into hitting 3 to 4 peaks in a day where as I enjoy the challenge that brings every now and then. He also doesn’t get away camping anymore so the days of doing a large mountain walk whilst camping are becoming more limited. I love camping as much as walking and combining them both is for me a fantastic experience. I spend most of my walking time in the Lakes and The Dales but I’m open to visiting other areas. I am 47 years old and have a pretty good fitness level and managed a 12 mile mountain walk in the Lakes a few weeks ago. I trekked to Everest basecamp in 2009 so the physical challenge to me is appealing. I am looking to do the Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge at some point, either this year before the end of October or in Spring next year. I am also hoping to continue camping through the autumn and possibly into winter with walking as part of these trips. It would be nice to have someone to go along with. I have done some backpacking but that was many years ago where I completed the dales way with my walking friend but we did it from Bowness to Ilkley instead. I did attempt the Coast to Coast a few years ago but had to stop due to too many blisters, something I hadn’t suffered with before and haven’t since! I would also like to try doing some wild camping at some point but perhaps I would have to start with a short trek to begin with as its been a while since I carried a pack full of camping gear. I would like to attempt the coast to coast again in the not too distant future although I’m not sure I would be carrying all my equipment over such a long distance but the challenge does appeal. Anyway, I shall leave it at that for now but if you're interested in any of the above it would be great to hear from you. In the meantime, happy walking.

I am a Walker, in my late 40s, based near Birmingham.
My Message: Hi I am James (52 years) I live in Sutton Coldfield and like walking in the Peak District and the Malverns or anywhere within reason - I also enjoy cycling - I like walking and talking with different people but it would be nice to have a walking companion.
I would like to make some walking friends to do local walks and walks further away. I can get away most weekends and some days in the week. For me its more about enjoying the scenery and the company you are with. I'm happy doing walks about 10 miles or longer I have recently been up Snowdon and Brecon Beacons which I really enjoyed.
Kind Regards
James

Box No: 110156
I am a Walker, in my late 40s, based near Churchstoke.
 My Message: Hi, my name is Steve and I'm a 49 yr old single guy.
I'm based mostly on the mid Welsh borders and so am lucky enough to have relatively easy access to the mountains of Wales and mid/northern England.
I live a pretty unconventional life in which adventure travel plays a significant part. I've recently returned from a 4000 mile cycle trip of Eastern Europe, it was a blast!
I love the notion of adventure, macro or micro, an afternoon walk, a weekend camping/bivvying or full on expeditions lasting weeks or months.
I'm in the process of planning a south American cycling adventure for next year if anyone is interested.
I love to get into the mountains and wild places of Britain as much as I can and do this in my 'live - in truck' which takes me all over.
I also like to explore the myths and legends accociated with wild places.
I've walked a lot in Britain and also trekked in the Alps, the Pyrenees and Napal. I spent a month last year on my mountain bike in Iceland which was fab, apart from falling off!
So if anyone is interested in sharing adventure experiences, big or small, drop me a line and we can share ideas.
Cheers.

Box No: 94764
I am a Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Pershore, Worcestershire.
My Message: Hi, I’m a totally blind walker, and I'm looking for people to go walking with who would be prepared to act as my guide. If you have a dog, or at least like dogs then all the better, as I have a lively guide dog who would love to come along sometimes.
I can usually be free to walk locally any day of the week. It would also be good to hear from people anywhere in the country who would be interested in setting up a small group for weekends away, or possibly to walk one of the national trails, either all at once or a section at a time. 8 to 12 miles a day, depending on terrain is ideal for me, although shorter walks locally are fine too of course. Dogs would be very welcome of course, as well as a sense of humour and a rucksack full of food!
Don't worry if you haven't guided anyone who is blind before - you'll soon get the hang of it. I'm a fairly experienced walker and I don't think walking with me is too stressful. (although others may disagree)
Looking forward to hearing from anyone who can help get my rusting knees walking again.

Box No: 110119
I am a Walker, in my mid 40s, based near Kingston Upon Hull.
My Message: I love anything that involves the great outdoors and particularly keen on skiing and walking. Whilst my body maybe in its 50s, in my mind I'm still in my 20s and tends not to take life as serious as it should! Walking on my own is okay, but I would prefer to share the adventure with someone. I'm no peak bagger or trying to break any records, I just walk for the sheer enjoyment of it. I'm equally happy on leisurely flat or more adventurous strenuous terrain, whether it's a short walk, a full day or something longer, at any time of year, whatever the weather. I've walked mainly in the North Yorkshire with the odd venture over to Cumbria. I'm hoping to walk Helvellyn and Striding Ridge in the winter, one day as I've heard it is unbelievable in the snow. The Dark Peak has been recommended, but have only managed the one venture to Mam Tor, I'm yet to fully appreciate what the region has to offer, hopefully before this summer ends. Working 12 hour shifts is pretty unsociable, and working 2 weekends out of 4, along with most bank holidays whilst it can be a little inconvenient, it does give me free days and the chance to avoid peak weekend crowds.

Box No: 110114
I am a Walker, in my early 40s, based near Hull.
My Message: Hi, my names is Lee from East Yorkshire, I enjoy walking and related challenges. I am currently what can only be described as unfit and out of shape, so my pace isn't great, though not snails pace....... gives more of an opportunity to take in the scenery!! With that in mind I did complete Scafell Pike a couple of years ago which was an achievement for me.
Looking for potential walking companions of any age or gender who are willing to take a steady pace and not quick March throughout the walk.
I'm not looking to climb mount everest nor am I just looking to walk round the corner.
Hopefully the more I get our the more I will achieve with improving my fitness levels etc.
I do also have a Springer Spaniel who may well want to come along depending where we go.
If you think I could be a walking campanile for you please get in touch.

I am a Walker, in my late 20s, based near Ross-on-wye.
 My Message: Hi there - my name's Alec and I'm 27yrs old. I currently live in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire. I'm an avid outdoors guy looking to develop a new circle of friendship with like-minded individuals - very mature for my age. Happy to walk one-on-one or as part of a group. I'm very sociable and very much enjoy a good challenge.
I'm looking for somone to go hiking/trekking with all over the place - not going to restrict myself to one area. I like to 'get away' I must admit. Love to get out and explore and whilst I've not been camping for a while, would certainly do this with the right person/people. Happy to take on all sorts of hikes/treks - whether strenuous or moderate. Am open to travelling to meet etc and vice versa.
Am looking for mid-length / long-distance walks - 10 miles +. Am doing the Mountain Trail Challenge in Brecon Beacons on 12/09/15. Am also looking to do the 3 Peaks Challenge next year so need to increase fitness etc. Definitely enjoy good conversation and a drink at the end (or a cheeky pitstop) of a walk to socialise and get to know people better.
If you're interested in arranging something, please do get in touch. I'd love to hear from you. Cheers, Alec

I am a Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Haxey, North Lincs.
My Message: hello I am quite young in my outlook, have just started strenuous walking again over the last few years (and I am loveing it). Can manage up to about 12 miles so far but looking to stretch myself even further. Used to do mountain scrambling and lots of challenge walks although not competitive anymore would still like to do the distance looking for male or female companions. can map read to a certain extent enough for marked paths anyway but having done lots of walking in the past know my way round quite a few. Wouldn't mind doing a walking holiday at some stage. No probs with distance have own transport and now retired am free quite a lot of the time.

I am a Walker, in my early 40s, based near Stockport.
My Message: I used to spend a lot of time walking in Snowdonia. Recently had a major health scare (Cardiac Arrest) and now looking at pastures closer to home (Peak District etc) to get me back into the walking way. I have lost my fitness and I have an ICD implant [shocking I know ;)]. Ideally looking to walk with someone on some easy walks at first. Someone who can understand my situation (not push me too hard to begin with) and my fears (probably only psychological). I used to be pretty fit and game for anything but need to be a bit careful for a while until I feel comfortable again. I have car.

I am a Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Newcastle Under Lyme.
My Message: Man who likes unhurried hill walks in all weathers, not too bad with a map and a compass, seeks an adventurous, intelligent, arts-loving female companion. Good walking company and good conversation are all I'm looking for - I'm not a predator out to snag a mate :)
I drive and can go for walks on weekdays. I love camping too in case that floats anyone's boat.
I'd rather walk in the Peak District or Snowdonia, as they are very easy to get to from north Staffordshire where I live.
