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

My Message: Hello fellow walkers, first the basics, my name is John, I`m 52 in December, got my own teeth and hair (tho not as much as I used to have), pretty fit and active. 5ft 8ins, 12. 5 st. Recently divorced so plenty of time to spare. I`m a keen walker but not too keen on doing it by myself. I went out a few times with the local Ramblers Club, but the number of people tended to distract from the experience. Would prefer to go out in a small group (1-5 would be ideal). I know the Dales pretty well and have walked extensively in the Lakes. I went to the Peak District for the first time this year and I`m interested in getting to know the area a lot more.
I like quiet country pubs, good food, good music (anything that`s rock`n`roll`s fine. Who sang that?) smiling and the quiet life. Be nice to hear from some of you out there.

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

My Message: Hi. I’m very new to this site and still exploring. I love walking, for exercise, to see the countryside / nature and for companionship. There’s nothing like sharing a fantastic view with a friend …and maybe a drink and a meal afterwards. Recently, I’ve concentrated on Lancashire and the Yorkshire Dales, but I’d love to get back into the Lake District again, where I walked a lot in my younger days. I’m 48, separated and free most weekends. I also enjoy walks closer to home on weekday evenings, when there’s enough daylight. I don’t mind getting wet and wind-blown. I’m close to Preston in Lancashire and it would be great to hear from you if you fancy joining me for a stroll. Andrew.

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

My Message: Hi, My name is Sue and I am 47 and single. I live in Hampshire and my passion for walking and hiking began a few years ago in the Lake District with my friend who lives in Newcastle.

I have progressed from flat walking to hiking in Andalucia (600-800 mtr climbs), Snowdon (miners trail) in July this year where it was heavy rain and blowing a gale the whole way up!!.... I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge though. Theres so many places I would like to visit however my walking partner lives too far away to make it a regular event. I do however reguarly walk with my sister and her husband locally in the New Forest/south coast and these are grade 1 and 2 walks.

It would be great to find a walking partner locally and happy to do 5 - 12 miles. I work shifts so often available mid week too. I have 2 daughters and 3 sisters so some male company would make a nice change. I do make a nice packed lunch but allways happy to visit the pub if preferable.

I have never used a map or compass, the walks/hikes I have done have either been guided or from a guide book but I am willing to learn!!

Personality wise I would describe myself as 'a people person' confident, outgoing and happy. I excersise approx 3 times a week.

Look forward to hearing from you.

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

My Message: Hi,
I'm Graham, new to this site, but thought i'd give it a go!
I'm 47, and a farmer, which keeps me fit, and contrary to popular belief, we do get time off!! I have a million hobbies, but walking, and especially up in the hills and mountains of this beautiful country of ours is my passion.
Do have some walking friends, but most would rather sit infront of a TV, so looking for more like minded people, with the same passion, who love being on top of the roof of the world :)
Have hill walked everywhere, but have recently discovered Snowdonia, which is strange, as it's been on my doorstep most of my life, and i'm in love hehe.
If you fancy a good yomp up a mountain, some chat and some laughs... and maybe food and drink in a pub on the way home, then what are you waiting for, come and say hi :)

My Message: Hi I'm Carole and based in East Yorkshire. I'm looking at getting a group together for walking in Britain and abroad. Looking for like minded people who love to walk and have a bit of an adventure. I've walked most of the highest hills here and covered many of the long distance paths. I’m separated so looking at new things in life to achieve. Nothing is better to end the day after a long walk at the pub for a well deserved drink. I love good conversation and have a gosh. Look forward to hearing back from anyone who is interested in forming a group.

I am a Walker, in my late 20s, based near Bristol.

My Message: Hi,
I live in the Bristol area and I'm looking for some walking companions. Being so close to South Wales I've walked alot in the Brecon Beacons, I love the area particulalry the peaks nr Glyn Tawe (Fan Brycheiniog etc) If I could move up there I'd go tomorrow! I also enjoy walking in North Wales - I'd like to go back and walk some more of the Carneddau. I'm also interested in doing a winter mountainerring course this year, and it would be great to find a few others to do it with and perhaps practice some of the skills learnt afterwards. I'm into outdoor swimming, so the Lake District also really appeals to me - I've been up there twice, but there's so much more to explore.

I have a 7 year old daughter who is a fantastic walker for her age (shes walked alot of the Brecon Beacons and the main tops of Snowdonia) She stays with her Dad on Sundays so I am free to walk on Sundays and the occasional weekend away. Would also be good to meet other families with children who like walking as all my daughters friends are more into playing on play stations etc! When I am walking with my daughter we also endulge in a bit of geocaching to her spur her along..

I don't drive, but willing to pay our way in terms of petrol/bridge fees and can get to newport etc by train at the weekends. Hope to hear from someone soon!

Ps I havent investigated the walk grades yet, so I've ticked them all not knowing what they mean! I up to walking up to 15 miles per day (at a push!) and not adverse to the odd scramble. I have a healthy fear of heights so I'm not massivly keen on the really exposed stuff.

My Message: Hi, Im Chris
Hoping to re-new a love of walking which started 20 years ago in the Lake District. I have enjoyed some Fell walking, river valley walks, coastal and woodland walks. Love our own green and pleasant land, but would also like to explore further afield. Still working full time, hence the need to get out into the fresh air, away from the stresses of a busy job. Need also to build my stamina again!Have done a lot of camping in the past, and like being out on my bike. Hope to hear from some like minded people!Thanks for reading this message.

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

My Message: HiI, i am 46, easy going and love adventure and nature, i am equally happy to take a short walk as i am to go up a mountain or go scrambling although I have to admit to not getting up one for the last couple of years for various reasons. I am happy to do local walks but also venture further affield, I love to finish off a good walk with a nice local pub, and also happy to camp on further afield trips. Enjoy cycling and golf also but i have friends who are happy to do these with me, however they do think that walking is something you do when the car has broken down hence the message. Anyone fancying a good walk with hopefully some good conversation and a good laugh then please drop me a line

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

My Message: I'm a quiet friendly walker and would like to meet up with any kindred spirits who love wild places. I’m out and about mainly at weekends, mostly in Lancs/West Yorkshire, Lakes, N. Wales or the Yorkshire Coast.

I work as an occasional volunteer warden for the YHA and have a great love of the Highland and Islands. I’ve also done some longish backpacking treks in Spain and Norway – solo and with friends and would like to do more. I also jointly own a small place in the mountains of southern Spain, which I enjoy pottering around.

I enjoy solo walking, but not 100% of the time. Friends are now partnered and preoccupied with raising families or have emigrated – hence this ad.

I love wildflowers, traditional pubs and music, hedgehogs, rhododendrons in spring, maple trees in autumn, starry skies and wood smoke in winter. Thanks for reading and please feel free to say ‘hello’.

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

My Message: Hi, I'm a 54 year old female based near Farnham, looking for male/female company for more regular walking in Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex, Dorest. Local walking groups are rather large and I prefer more one to one conversation, probably a faster pace too. I tend to use pre planned walks as I'm not the best map reader - happy to learn from an expert though! Available to walk at least every other weekend, and occasionally in the week, especially during summer months while the evenings are lighter. I'm reasonably fit (Gym and cycle) and happy to walk 8-10 miles or more. Love walking holidays uk or abroad, walked Hadrian's Wall two years ago. Would love to meet more liked minded people to share the beauty of uk countryside. Pub stops are equally important but I'm not adverse to the odd picnic! I look forward to hearing from you!

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

My Message: Hello. I am new to this having formerly been into running and gym visits to keep fit. However, I have always loved the countryside, fresh air and exploring places that seem interesting. I've decided its now time to combine the two by dipping my toe into walking. I do not think I will be into walking for walkings sake, but more the opportunity to explore what may be offered along the route. I have an interest in natural history, geology, history and architecture.
Would like to meet a lady who shares similar interests, enjoys a good walk with good conversation and likes to explore.


Chris
