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

My Message: Hi,
I'm Claire, 47 and reasonably fit living in North Hampshire and wanting to walk more, mainly in my localised area at weekends but also happy to go further afield with longer days. Local groups like Ramblers aren't really my thing as prefer a faster pace and smaller groups, one/two people, good conversation and have fun and fresh air. Currently walking about 8-10 miles but wanting to do more and explore new areas. Haven't read maps for years but happy to learn.
Get in touch.

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

My Message: A few of us (mixed group, ages 40 to mid 50s have been walking for the past couple of years - We started off as a group partly from this website - there were about 12, but now have dwindled due to people moving house, getting partners etc etc, so thought it would be good to look for a few more people who might like to join us from time to time: Do you want to meet us for a walk and see what you think? Different people turn up at different walks - we are very casual about it all, and tend to walk for about 3 ish hours on a Sunday, then follow it by lunch in a pub. approx every 6- 8 weeks... Some of us go on longer walks from time to time...
We live in Hertfordshire, Essex, Norfolk, and so tend to walk in any of those places, or in between.
Get back to me if you would like to join us at some stage!
Sally

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

My Message: Hi, I am a 45 year old female living in central London. I work during the week so most of my walking is done at the weekends when I like to get out of London. I don't have a car but am happy using public transport. I have walked in Wales, Devon, Surrey and the North of England. I like maps although I must admit that I have a terrible sense of direction. For me a good days walk (6-12 miles) ends in a cosy pub that serves delicious food and you feel hungry and tired and your legs ache a bit. I would like to meet others, male or female for a good days walking.

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

My Message: Hi
I am a fit, happy, easy going and healthy man who probably doesn't look much like your typical walker, looking for a lovely lady to share some of this beautiful country of ours with. I got the bug for walking again a couple of years back and do as much as I can, some nice long day walks, weekends and also a bit of wild camping during the warmer months, I enjoy planning the walks, as well as walking them and some of the places I have been to along the south cost are far too nice not to share. Not into walking groups or clubs, kind of defeats the object for me as it is so nice to be away from all that. I enjoy some good conversation /debating /laughing along the way and also a nice pub or 2 always helps. I am based in the south and know some lovely walks around the South east but am willing to travel anywhere (within reason) to share some more great days out and learn some from you. If you have liked what you have read it would be great to hear from you.

I am a Walker, in my late 50s, based near Malvern.

My Message: Slim, fit, cheerful and unconventional Worcestershire man with old cottage on Malvern Hills (ideal walking centre) seeks female companion for all kinds of low-budget walking adventures, long or short, anywhere in UK, from wild camping or bothying in the moors and mountains to finding geocaches along shores, canals and riverside paths. Possible cycle trips too (I have a Brompton folding bike). I'm a life member of both English Heritage and the YHA. Also like NT properties, morris dancing, ceilidhs, railways, board games and card games. Modest income from my publications about castles, churches, abbeys, ancient monuments and walking trails. My interests complement each other without dividing lines between work and leisure activities. Good navigator with 1:50, 000 maps for almost all of Britain Isles. National Trails still to do include Cotswold Way, South Downs Way, Pennine Bridleway and southern section of SW coast path. I’m a carnivore, don’t drink much alcohol, don’t smoke and don’t own a car. I’m not tall, and not a particularly fast walker or cyclist.
August 2012 update: companion(s) wanted for backpacking trips Sept-Oct 2012 to include Northumbrian coastal castles, central section of Offa's Dyke Path, & maybe Devon & Dorset.

I am a Walker, in my early 30s, based near Woodbridge.

My Message: Hi all. I'm 33, female, healthy and reasonably fit.
Unfortunately for me, trying to get my friends to pull on a pair of boots and climb a hill is falling on deaf ears. So here i am. I used to wild camp and walk all over dartmoor as a kid. I like to wander off the beaten track and not fussed by the weather. Always up for a challenge. I would prefer to walk with experienced walkers of any age/ sex. So if you'd like some company on your next outing, please feel free to contact me.
Many thanks
Nina
