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

My Message: Hi, I'm Jo recently single and looking for someone/a group of like minded walkers male or female. I have 2 dogs so prefer those who are doggie types! Just love getting out into the countryside, fresh air and open spaces. Walk every day with my dogs, short walks in the evenings and longer at the weekends. Have done a few climbs but if I'm honest I love ambling around flats, particularly near water (my dogs love it!) Let me know if you're interested in joining me.

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

I aspire to do long distance walks particularly the coast to coast. I would like to join up with others to chat and shre the views.

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

My Message: I currently organise walks for a small group of friends based in Manchester on a Sunday. We're a mixed gender group ranging in age from 40 to 50 (unless my nephew joins us and he brings the average age right down!). We generally tackle fairly easy rambles, usually involving a pub at some point. We enjoy the exercise but also love the conversations, which can range from politics to the X-Factor, depending on how high-brow we're feeling!
We're mostly single but we're not against married people joining us, as long as they don't hold hands the whole time (and yes, there are some people who manage that on a walk!). We're trying to build up our stamina over the winter so that we can tackle some longer, more challenging walks in the summer. We're never going to walk the Three Peaks in 24 hours (so we're probably not the group for the super fit among you) but doing a single hill/mountain in a day would be sufficiently enjoyable for us and I'm sure for many similar walkers.
We all enjoy the outdoors and go walking for the scenery, the companionship and the charming pubs (although there seems to be far fewer of them around).
We've a few walks planned over Christmas - nothing strenuous, fairly flat walks around Cheshire of about 9 miles if anyone's interested. Then we'll settle into a routine of a Sunday walk probably twice a month.

Prefor 7-10 mile walks and generally prefer hills though decidely a 'plodder' up hills now. Rambles OK as well, and shorter walks if local friend.

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

My Message: Hi everyone. After reading all the other Go 4 A Walk members it would seem most are prepared to walk any where in the UK. I must say I might seem fairly boring but the Yorkshire coast line, the hills and valleys of the white and dark peaks of Derbyshire and the Yorkshire Dales and wolds provide enough inspiration and views to relax the most stressfull parts of our lives. I am happy to walk 6 miles with a chat or 24 miles with aching knees. Kinder Scout under 6 feet of snow is brill. send me a message and stay near home in our wonderfull countryside

I live in stunning ountryside just outside Macclesfield and really miss having single friends to enjoy it with! I love Derbyshire too, and adore clifftop walks by the sea!! I love the great outdoors, in any weather! Would love to share days out anywhere really, to include a pub lunch or a picnic or barbie??? Around 5 miles is my limit at the moment. Sunday afternoons, or Saturdays? It'd be great to hear from you!

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

My Message: Well, I am up for just about anything with anyone. Young/old, male/female, etc etc. It's not that I'm not fussy, but I enjoy meeting and finding about new people, although finding a regular glutten for punishment would be good. I enjoy a good laugh and a chat, but equally happy just enjoying sharing the scenery in ' companiable solitude' - not sure where that one came from!!
My usual partners circumstances have changed - baby, moved away, and the other one, well she found herself a man.
I am confident with navigation, enjoy grade 1 scrambles -although I used to climb to a good standard and fancy taking on a bit more, although I have no kit now.
I am currently looking for work so have a reasonable amount of flexibility of when and how long I go for, subject to getting a pass from 'she who must be obeyed'! But not a problem.
I am up for wild camping - but prefer bunk houses/bothys this trime of year.

Would love to have a bit of a challenge in winter conditions, if someone is happy to share their knowledge, I am prepared to invest in more winter kit.

My Message: Yorkshire based single male would like to meet genuine single female for 7-14mile walks some hills, particular Peak District, Yorkshie Dales, North Yorkshire and Lake District. Not into large group walks.. tried it !. Even better to arrange weekends away in BandB not under canvas!
Equally happy to walk in the countryside or by the coast, just as happy with a flat or hilly terrain.
Also enjoy a bike ride. Then to finish off with a drink and a bite to eat.

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

My Message: Hi my name is Ian I am a 47 year old single male who lives near Burnley and is reasonably fit with a liking for the outdoors whether that be walking, conservation work, tending my garden or various other activities. I do most of my walking in Lancashire (Ribble Valley, Pendle and Silverdale areas) The Lakes and the Yorkshire Dales. I have also completed a third of the Pembrokeshire coastal path and would like to finish it someday. I prefer to take my time and look at the view and the flora and fauna when I am out and not dash up a mountain because it is there. Having said that I have been known to go up the odd hill when I feel like it. At the end of a walk I like to find a nice tea shop for tea and cake, as I don’t drink or smoke pubs are not for me, unless food is involved then that’s a different matter as I enjoy going out for meals.
I am looking for a lady of a similar age who does not smoke and is within a reasonable distance of me that would like to join me on my walks and possibly other days out.

I am a Walker, in my early 40s, based near Ashton Under Lyne.

My Message: Hi, I live in East Lancashire and I'm looking for new female friends to go walking with. Having spent the last few years walking with my boyfriend and always being left at least 100 yards behind, I'd now like to do some walks where I get to chat to people, take in the countryside and stop at cafes, pubs etc.
It would be good to get together a small group of like minded walkers, for walks in the North West ie. Lakes, Dales or Peak District. I usually do 8-10 miles at weekend as I work during the week. If anyone is interested please get in touch.
