Find New Walking & Hiking Friends & Companions and Walking Groups - The Message Board

Box No: 211443

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Powys hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: I bought a book with a route from Penmaenmawr to Swansea Bay when I was 25, 26 years later I've yet to walk one part of that route. I've bought a few more books since then with the pages well thumbed but not put into action. I'm looking for walking groups, triples, couples, singles even stray pet dogs who fancy a slog, hike or stroll anywhere in North, Mid or South Wales. Happy with wild camping or tame pubs, just get me out please! (The lack of a photo doesn't mean I'm weird looking, just the webpage not working properly)

My Preferred Walk Grades*: 1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8:9:

A bit more about me:

When it comes to Scrambling & Edges I'm OK with the occasional edge or scramble but don't go looking for it. I'm happy to walk in all weathers - sunshine, snow, hail, wind & rain - bring it on. I like walking with dogs but do not have one of my own. I'd say my map reading & navigation skills are pretty good. I can drive and have a car.

I am also interested in:

• Camping on Campsites - Camping where there is a shop, toilets, showers & possibly a pub;
• Wild Camping - Camping out in the wilds well away from anyone & any facilities;
• Long Distance Path Walking - Multi-day walks like The Pennine Way, Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk;
• Back Packing - Multi-day walks carrying all your gear & wild camping;
• Offshore Sailing

I am not actively looking for anyone other than a new walking companion but if that right person came along . . .

I am a Walker, in my late 50s, based near Hereford hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: I live on Herefordshire and enjoy the outdoors. Walking gives me a sense of freedom and takes me away from all the noisy stimulus and brashness of every day life. Being in nature feeds my soul. I've done short and long distance (Camino de Santiago) walks and want to do many more. Happy to walk in most weather's providing I have the right hear. Map reading skills are averages and I work on the principle that getting lost is just a chance to re-orientate myself.
I'm happy to walk alone and quite adventurous in that regard. However, some times it would be nice to share the view and adventures with someone else and walk places I haven't been.

Looking to find like minded people, game for a laugh and great sense of humour to enjoy on a walk!

I am a Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Gwynedd hoping to meet just Male new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi all, I'm Mark. I live in Snowdonia National Park. I have self catering holiday accommodation here so get in touch if you're looking for somewhere to stay. Having lived here for 10 years now I'm ashamed to say that there are so many local places I haven't had time to explore (long story!) so ideally looking for guys who would be happy to go for walks in this and other areas with me. I am a gentle soul, intelligent, thoughtful and really interested in people so do get in touch if you are up for sharing your map reading skills with a willing companion. I love history, archaeology, nature and my Welsh is improving, too. I garden for a living and love being outdoors.

I am a Walker, in my late 30s, based near North Wales hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi, I'm Rob, I'm 38 and I like walking in North Wales but don't mind venturing further afield. I'm looking for new friends to go walking / camping with. I'm not currently looking for a relationship but I enjoy female company as long as you don't want to talk about football as I can't stand the game. I get on with people of all ages. I'm reasonably fit and up for pretty much any kind of walk. I've done Ben Nevis, Snowdon etc. so no problem with big mountains and climbed 3 volcanos a couple of years back. I work all week so weekends are better, however, I can wangle some time off in the week as I work for myself. I'm planning on doing Everest base camp next year, so need to get some miles in ;)

Any questions, just ask

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Crewe hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Greetings fellow walkers *waves*
I got into walking proper about 6 years ago and never looked back! I generally walk at the weekends unless I have time off work, when I'll fit in walks more frequently, and prefer the less well known walks, loving paths that aren't so obvious on the ground.
I go to the gym a couple of times a week and I'm pretty fit so I like a nicely paced walk but also stop to look back frequently (amazing how many people miss fantastic views by not doing this) and to take photographs … I like to blog about my walks if I find them particularly interesting. Not sure many people read the blog but I find it fun to do.
I walked the Sandstone Trail a couple of years ago … 3 days walking with a couple of sleep overs at pubs. That was fun and I'd like to do similar again, probably on sections of the Coast to Coast or the Welsh Coastal Path for starters.
I visit Wales and Cumbria at least once a year so plan walks for when I go. My most walked areas are the Snowdonia National Park, the Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales. Cheshire also has some nice walks and it's not quite as flat as people would have you believe!
Be warned, I do like to chat and I have a dry sense of humour … so I will either be fun to walk with or seriously annoying depending on your outlook!
Safe walking everybody.

P.S. For the avoidance of confusion seeing as I'm looking for male & female walking companions but open for relationships should the circumstances arise, I am heterosexual so sorry guys!

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Midlands hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Being sat at a desk most days I'm keen to get outside and enjoy the amazing scenery we have in our beautiful country. Initially day walks to improve my fitness. I work part time and do have a day off midweek so would love to get out enjoy the company of others whilst walking.
Based in the East Midlands mid week walks ideally would be within an hours drive. Weekends further a field.
Years ago used to walk with a group but it became too big for my liking.
I love being outdoors, there's nothing better that a lovely long walk and a meal afterwards. Appreciated all the more in the current Covid climate!
As my fitness improves (It's not bad but plenty of room for improvement)I love to bag a few peaks.

My Message: Hi, I am a single Mum from Chester who has recently got into walking and exploring the local Cheshire countryside every weekend and I'm looking to find new walks to try and people to share them with. I love nature, my favourite place being the beach and the occasional wild swim if allowed. Happy to travel a bit further afield, and happy to camp. I am free most weekends and regularly walk with a couple of friends who are also looking for like minded people who can share walks/experiences/conversation with.

I am a Walker, in my mid 40s, based near Aberystwyth hoping to meet just Male new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi,
I am quite a sociable person but now live in a beautiful rural spot in Mid Wales where there are lots of sheep and not so many people! This brings advantages and disadvantages-so I thought popping up a message on here might be the perfect way to enjoy all the countryside advantages whilst tackling the main disadvantage head-on - ie meeting new folk :)
I have always enjoyed countryside walking and do it most days- however after an ankle injury a few years ago I can no longer do steep slopes. I work from home flexibly (even before 2020 came along!) so I could meet up most days. I have 2 affectionate and bouncy labradoodles and it would be nice to bring them along if the walk was suitable for them to be off the lead, however for cliff walks and through fields of sheep I would probably leave them at home with my teenagers.
I'm looking forward to some interesting chats :)

My Message: Hi, I am looking for new friends to explore the UK with, as I've exhausted(literally !!) my current friends, many of whom prefer short walks. During this corona lockdown I've averaged 30 miles a week - better than baking any day. My job is cabin crew, often I have 3 days off during the week with the occasional weekend. I especially love coastal walks, but am good with any terrain, just happy to be walking. I'd like to do more multi day hikes, no problem camping or staying in BnBs. I've carried a big back pack but also had it transported. I've hiked the Anna Purna Circuit and part of he Camino de Santiago, always looking for new adventures.

I am a Walker, in my early 60s, based near Plymouth hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi, I'm a keen walker living in the South West, whilst I am comfortable walking alone, it get's boring and would love to have someone to share the experience with. Mainly I walk in the South West area, but love the mountains when I can get away. I also regularly go on Trekking holidays abroad and have done three treks in Nepal over the last 5 years (Everest Base Camp, Annapurna, and Kanchenjunga base camp). However, I am more than happy with a gentle stroll across Dartmoor as well. I am recently retired and looking forward to ticking off some 'bucketlist' walks. England Coast to Coast, South West Coast Path to name a couple in the UK, but also would love to do the Camino De Santiago. When not out walking I am a keen theatre goer and also an amateur actor. Also have a love of music.
I'm flexible when and where I can walk and have a bit of an adventurous streak so am generally up for a bit of a challenge. What I'm missing is having people to share walking with. I know there are people out there, just haven't found them yet!

My Message: Hello! My name is Umesh and I am keen to find someone to explore hiking trails with over, in particular, over the next few months given we can't travel overseas.

I'm a keen hiker and amateur mountaineer (last year I climbed Mont Blanc and Kili) but really just enjoy getting out into nature and it doesn't have to be too strenuous. When we are allowed, I'd ideally like to do a bit more exploring in the Lakes and perhaps further afield in Scotland and Wales.

I'm not working at the moment so have plenty of time on my hands although that could change. I'm currently studying for my WSET level 3 wine course so am a bit tied up with that over the next few weeks but looking for some adventures in July!

My Preferred Walk Grades*: 4:5:6:7:

My Preferred Walk Areas:
North West Scotland; North East Scotland; North West England; The English Midlands; Wales; The Heart of England; South East England; South West England;

A bit more about me:

When it comes to Scrambling & Edges I'm OK with the occasional edge or scramble but don't go looking for it. With regard to the weather, this is the UK so it's going to rain sooner or later isn't it? Fine with me, I've got waterproofs. I'm not bothered about dogs one way or the other. To be honest, my map reading & navigation skills are a bit averagely average. I can drive and have a car.

I am also interested in:

• Road Cycling
• Mountain Biking

I am not actively looking for anyone other than a new walking companion but if that right person came along . . .

I am a Walker, in my late 40s, based near Frimley hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: I am a Female Walker, 50, based near Chester, but working near London. My walking friend and partner has passed away and I am hoping to meet either Male and Female new friend (s) to go walking with. When weather is bad on the hills, the alternative coastal walks combined with occasional bird watching (Norfolk, North Devon, Pembrokshire,…) is also an option.
I'm looking for walks about 6 to 9 hours per day, all year round. I've climbed Mont Blanc and Matterhorn in the past, so happy with any terrain. I am now too old and wise to still enjoy walking in fog and howling winds though. I like remote mountain walks and moorland walks and don't enjoy walking with crowds.
I can read maps but not enough practice for finding my way out with GPS or compass/map in fog.
I can drive but as I work in the south of England, I've been lucky that so far to have a friend who could pick me up from a train station near the walks location (Chester, Penrith, Kendal, York,…) and drive me to the walks and hotels.
I would not be walking with someone with a dog, or a party of more than 3, as it scares the wild-life which is a collateral interest of the walks. Age not a problem, I have a variety of interests and most importantly I am a good listener & interested in other peoples' interests as I enjoy learning.I am easy to get on with and certainly not into 'competetive' walking. I just love to get out and enjoy the view.
I don't expect or want to walk at the same pace as my companion, as I enjoy the solitary aspect of the walks, but to keep in the visual range but have stops and breaks together.

I stay in hotels, pub and B&B to enjoy the rest after the walk. I'd love to have again a companion again with whom I can a general culture conversation.
I'm working, so can rarely do more than Friday lunch time until Sunday evening. I need at least 3 week notice to book the week end and I'm happy to decide in the last days where to go depending on the weather.

Important: For the avoidance of doubt, I am definitely not looking for anything other than someone to go walking with.

I am a Walker, in my early 20s, based near Bury hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hello,
I am interested in meeting male or female friends to go walking with, especially now the warmer weather is approaching (provided that this lockdown eventually ends). I am based in Lancashire however I can drive and have a car so I am willing to go further afield. I am a bit out of practise with walking very long distances as my friends are not the hiking-types so I've struggled to find people to go with me in the past. However, I would really like to challenge myself and I hope to meet like minded people. I have a springer spaniel who would be joining me.

A bit more about me:

When it comes to Scrambling & Edges I'm OK with the occasional edge or scramble but don't go looking for it. I prefer warm, dry & sunny weather but can cope with the odd shower. I like walking with dogs and will bring my own. If pushed, I'd say my map reading & navigation skills are rather poor at best. I can drive and have a car.

I am also interested in:

• Mountain Biking

I am a Walker, in my late 50s, based near Buxton hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi, I'm Chris, from Manchester, now exiled in Buxton! Married happily for 30 years, and living with the wife and Jim the dog. Made redundant last year after some 25 years at IBM but have plans to get back to work eventually. For now, I'm enjoying my time off. We both (the wife and I) have a passion for the countryside, Scotland and the Peak District in particular. Unfortunately due to health issues my wife is now unable to do much walking - aside from pottering around the villages etc. While I'm certainly no major league trekker myself, I am fond of a brisk stroll around the hills and valleys of the peaks whenever I can, taking in the air, views and fascinating archaeological sites. Be nice to have someone to chat with along the way, so, I'm looking for someone, male/female, any age, in a similar position, who may be up for the occasional (none too arduous) stroll and fancies sharing their own favourite walks with another interested party? Weekdays or weekends, meet there, arrange pickup, whatever, I'm flexible on all that stuff. Drop me a line if interested, thanks.

I am a Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Nottingham hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi. I'm an easy-going romantic with a love of the countryside - high rugged areas, green and pleasant lands, peaceful valleys and windswept ridges. Not averse to a few home comforts, nice BandBs, concerts, cooking, camping if needs must. Working, but lots of spare weekdays and weekends, plenty of ideas of what I want to do more of - visits to the Highlands, Wales, and anywhere else that takes my fancy. It would be nice to share these good times with a like-minded, independent female. You will find me (I hope) considerate, good-humoured and honest.
Live near Nottingham but travelling not a problem.

I quite enjoy Scrambling & Edges but don't like too much exposure. I'm happy to walk in most weathers but do not like snow and ice. Sorry, but I really do not like walking with Dogs. I'd say my map reading & navigation skills are pretty good. I can drive and have a car.

I am also interested in:

• Camping on Campsites - Camping where there is a shop, toilets, showers & possibly a pub;
• Long Distance Path Walking - Multi-day walks like The Pennine Way, Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk;

I am not actively looking for anyone other than a new walking companion but if that right person came along . . .

I am a Walker, in my late 30s, based near Wolverhampton hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi

I enjoy walking and scrambling in the UK, and simply looking for a handful of friends to enjoy some company with in the hills.

I've climbed, scrambled and walked in the UK and abroad but now I'm getting older just simply looking for someone to walk with, midlands based ideally to allow for evening meets in the summer.

I'm in Wolverhampton so many areas are fairly accessible.

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Basingstoke hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: I am a happy and fun loving 53 year old woman who enjoys walking and riding a tandem. I am a good listener and enjoy both chatty walks and peaceful times in the countryside.
Unusually I am a visually impaired walker who needs to be guided but not supported to walk confidently, so I am looking for kind men and women who are happy for me to gently hold their arm.
Wwalking companions who are not too far away would be ideal, although I am happy to travel by train to meet for walks.
I have regularly been walking 6-10 miles at the weekend until two months ago. I go to the gym four times a week and swim to keep fit. I used to enjoy looking at wild flowers and birds when walking but this is more limited now. A good pub at the end of a walk is always welcome!

I hope to meet a companion for regular walks and possibly walking holidays in the future, in the UK and abroad. I work so I am only free to walk on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and when on holidays from work.

I really don't like Scrambling & Edges - they are defintely not for me. I'm happy to walk in most weathers but do not like snow and ice. I like walking with dogs but do not have one of my own. Sadly, my map reading & navigation skills are pretty hopeless. I don't drive.

I am a Walker, in my early 60s, based near Weymouth hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi, I'm Leo. I'm single and retired with no commitments, so free to walk anytime.

I was brought up in Dorset, and walking the hills and coast path is something I've enjoyed since childhood. I don't consider myself a dedicated walker, so I am very happy to combine walking with some exploration, sight seeing and of course, lunch or coffee.

I would like to meet similar minded men or women who like the outdoors and nature but perhaps would also like to share other interests. Mine include the sea, travel, art, theatre, tennis(beginner) and raquetball. I'm fairly easy going and enjoy new places and experiences.

Finding new friends local to me would be great for regular walks, but I also like to go on walking holidays in the UK or abroad.

I can cope with a little bit of scrambling if it is short and there are no steep drops. With regard to the weather, this is the UK so it's going to rain sooner or later isn't it?

I am a Walker, in my early 40s, based near Narberth hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi there, I accidentally stumbled on this site when looking for walking groups, but this looks much better. I thought why not, this may be what I've been looking for.
I'm a young 42 year old. I work and live in Pembrokeshire, lucky me ! I really enjoy walking/ hiking, Snowdon and last year Mount Teide in Tenerife, have been my latest adventures. I'd like to do more hiking abroad, Peru is on my list. I've done some of the Pembrokeshire coast path with work but not as much as I would like. It's such a waste as it's on my doorstep ! I do walk on my own here, but it would be nice once in a while to walk with others. So if your looking to walk here and you need a fellow walking companion or up for walking somewhere else, give me a shout. Look forward to hearing from you.
