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 mid 40s, based near Tiverton.

My Message: Hi, I am a 44 year old female living in Devon looking for walking friends of a similar age/ outlook. I have a plan to complete the whole South West Coast Path in sections, even if it takes years, and it would be great to have a companion or two to share it with. Even better would be a man who also loves the countryside, weekends away in other areas, country fairs, country pubs, farmer's markets etc. and hates loud town pubs, cigarette smoke and busy cities (although a short visit for the art and theatre is always nice!). I have a passion for books and the occasional glass of wine and a strong dislike of bigotry, aggression and football. I love the South West, favourite walking area Dartmoor but I would love to see more of our beautiful country. This is getting too long now so I'll stop rambling on!

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

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

My Message: I'm 42yrs old (single), with time to spare away from work. New to walking in some ways, but equally excited about exploring new spaces and places across the UK with my camera to hand. I would like to make new walking friends across the country, in particular those with an interest in photography. My last walk was to Snowdon from Anglesey, up a couple of routes and back to Anglesey; I really enjoyed it. I’m up for most things when it comes to walking, especially when it comes to meeting new people and enjoy the walk with a smile, and flask of something to warm the cockles along the way.

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

My Message: Hi, I am 43 (female, single) and live by the Quantock hills in Somerset. I enjoy walking and always intend to be a bit more adventurous and go further afield but would really like someone to walk and talk with. Otherwise I just whimp out! I have kids at home who are old enough to be left for a for a while and I even get the odd weekend free.
I am arty and spend time on my own painting; but that can drive me crazy if I don't get out and see some of the world. I think seeing it at walking pace and being able to have company en route is the best!
I don't mind what age or male or female. (Although I am single and I guess hope springs eternal, this isn't really about that!)
I am keen to see anywhere, I even like walking around cities. Mountains, hills, coast. Lets get going!!

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

My Message: Hello there,
I am an attractive 45 yr old woman living near to Saffron Walden in Essex. I walk miles most weeks with my dogs but I miss the longer more challenging walks that I used to do with my other half. I would love to make some new friends, either male or female who are like-minded and if they loved dogs that would be a bonus as maybe I could bring them along too for some fresh air!!
Someone local would be good so we could walk regularly but I am also interested in meeting people that maybe I could do some long distance walks with in other parts of the country. Itravel up t the North East quite a lot as that is where I am from.
