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.

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 mid 50s, based near Thame.

My Message: Hi, I'm a 'relaxed' walker with a great love of the countryside and nature, married to a non-walker! I'm not into route marches (perish the thought!) but like to stop and appreciate interesting views. I like photography and would enjoy sharing walks with chatty like-minded individuals with a view to building a small group of friends to walk with, find nice watering holes and coffee houses to round off the day. I also have long summer breaks to extend walks - maybe walking hols which are great fun - as I work term-time only.

I'm based in Hull, which is a bit out of the way, but I'm happy to drive to find pretty places to walk in. I love the Yorkshire Moors, Dales and the Lakes in particular, and I would love to explore Derbyshire. I really like to go to any place I haven't been before. Drop me a line, Deborah

Based in South Yorkshire, but have car will travel. love to chat whilst walking

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

My Message: I used to walk a lot, but unhappy events have prevented me from doing so during the last few years. I want to get back into walking, but am hesitant to do it alone. I am a geocacher too, so if anyone would like to hunt caches with me, that would be an added bonus.

I'm looking for companions who don't feel it necessary to walk against the clock. I like to take my time and enjoy the surroundings. Since I have to regain my fitness, I won't be particularly fast to start with. Also, it often takes me as long or longer to go downhill as to go uphill, because my balance isn't very good. Patience and the occasional steadying hand would be much appreciated!

I live in the Rhondda. Wales is my adopted country and I would love to get to know it better. That is why I have marked Welsh locations, but I am open to walking anywhere. I am free most weekends and can also arrange to be free mid-week because I work from home as a freelance. My interests include learning Welsh, classical, folk and world music, playing and singing in a West Gallery quire, reading and bookcrossing.
