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

My Message: Hi Fellow walkers,

I'm seeking a companion(s) who are happy to go for a day's walk at a relaxed steady pace. I go out for at least one long walk most weekends and look to cover between 10 to 20 miles (occasionally a bit more) depending on the terrain. Sometimes it's a walk along the Thames path and on other occasions I get on a train and head for the countryside or the coast and where possible have a pint of local ale before jumping on the train back to London.

Once or twice a year I plan to walk a Long distance path booking BandB's on the route. Also I'm doing a 100km walk (London to Cambridge) in August so will be looking to explore the route over the summer months.

By nature I'm easy going and quite quiet and don't mind listening if you like to chat the day away.

If you would like to tag along feel free to contact me to arrange a day out.

Regards Graham

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

My Message: Hi, My name is Rob and I live in Peterborough. I'm easy going and love good conversation, interested in all sorts of things and always interested to learn. I used to be a member of a local club but the large numbers and the clickyness (is that a word) that you seemed to get, put me off. I love walking in Derbyshire and the lakes. I have climbed the old man at Coniston and two years ago did Tyfan in Wales by the North face (although to be honest I was out of my comfort zone at times). The club I was in regualary did 10-13 miles walks but I havent' done this for a year or two so might have to build up the distance again. I would love to meet up with like minded females/males to get back into walking again at weekends as I work all week. I have a reliable car and dont mind travel as long as theirs a pint at a local pub at the end of the walk! I have basic map reading although very rusty and would like to get better at this again. I look forward to hearing from you.

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

My Message: Hello. I live in Essex where the main challenge in the winter is the mud! I walk regularly with a walking group but am looking for a male companion to share walks in a different way:-to plan the walk together, to discover the wonderful British countryside and wildlife, to chat and laugh along the way, to stop and look when and if you want, to have time to take photographs and at the end of the day to collapse into the teashop or pub. Although much maligned Essex has a very varied landscape with the estuaries and their big skies quite stunning but no hills that I've noticed! Last year I did some walking on the SW Coastal Path which was spectacular but challenging - up and down all the way. I'm happy with most reasonable distances and particularly like the prospect of completing a long distance trail - possibly in stages depending on the length. That said I'd be happy to walk almost anywhere! If you think you might be interested please get in touch.

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

My Message: Hello.
I haven't ticked the later walk codes as there are no mountains in Suffolk that I've noticed. (It's not that I can't do them or don't want to). There are however some lovely places to walk given a bit of plan. If there are 2 of us and 2 cars then we can maybe leave a car in an end place if a circular route won't work. I'm often free on a Sunday and sometimes during the week if work allows. I have a walking mate who calls me a mountain goat. I'm still trying to work out if she's being rude or polite. My work is farming and conservation based. The countryside is my passion.

I am a Walker, in my late 60s, based near Norwich.

My Message: Retired 69-going-on-35 male ex teacher with caravan, tent, time and enthusiasm!

Looking to meet up with a compatible walker or two for friendship and shared trips. Currently working on Administrative County Tops (4 to do), Wainwrights (about 20 to do) and Munros (144 done). Also often fly to Mallorca, Madeira, Morocco for a walking break.

Have no commitments or baggage, so can take off for the hills at little or no notice.

Happy to walk solo on the hills, but would prefer company and someone to share the views. Someone also retired would be great. Oh and non-smoker and dog-free!

You don't have to be round East Anglia, I spend a lot of time in other parts of the country with my trusty little caravan, so could be anywhere, really. Do drop me a line...., you never know.

I am a Walker, in my late 60s, based near Halstead.

My Message: I live in North Essex and initially would like a companion for coastal walking in Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk but with opportunities to go further afield and up into the hills in the future. I prefer ambling to route marches as I love looking at the scenery, plants, rocks, wild life etc. as I go. I'm trying to improve my map reading skills as my sense of direction is virtually non-existant (one reason it's good to walk on the coast!) so if planning and map reading are your strengths I'm willing to exploit them.

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

My Message: Hi. I am relatively new to this walking malarky so I am looking for strolling partners, male and female, who are a similar age to myself (hopefully I will be able to keep up that way!) and who can introduce me gently into this wonderful pastime. Unfortunately my friends haven't fallen in love with hill walking as I have so this seemed the perfect way to meet and make new friends.
I am a single straight female who works far too hard during the week so I need to escape my cell (pet name for my office incase you were getting worried!) at the weekends and there is no better way of doing that than exploring this beautiful country whether that be walking or cycling.
The Lake District has to be my all time favourite but I am happy to be proven otherwise! I am easy company and would appreciate buddies with a crazy sense of humour and zest for life that would match my own! Looking for walks that range from 5-10 miles although happy to do more if necessary and like most on here I enjoy the mandatory pit stop at a pub or tea room! If you can identify with any of the above it would be lovely to hear from you.

I am a Walker, in my late 30s, based near Chulmleigh.

My Message: Hi, I'm James from North Devon. Walking has really helped me to recover my strength and stamina after a long period of illness. Dartmoor is right on my doorstep and I have been making a determined effort this year to get to know it better. Wild camping on the moor has a deeply therapeutic effect on me - underlining the importance of keeping things simple and in balance.

I usually walk alone, my friends are usually busy, and I think some company would be nice. Dartmoor is a wonderful playground that I would never tire of but I am happy to try anywhere in the UK that I can reach by train. I have a spare tent that I can lend out if you are not sure whether camping is your thing but would like to give it a go without spending lots of money. Looking forward to hearing from you.

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

My Message: Hi 52. Looking initially to do some of the national trails - ideally 3 - over the summer of this year (2014). Open to other suggestions, but the plan is Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast, then Cotswolds and finally either the Hadrian's Wall walk, or Pembrokeshire Coast Path.

A lot of history - but that is the problem - it is history! So fitness has slid away, and I am looking to put that right as gently as possible. Add in a splash of photography for my own travelogue, and basically you have it. Gentle walks over some distance (anticipating camping as a default) with frequent photo stops.
