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

My Message: Hello

I’m a 55 year old straight female living on the northern edge of Cambridge. So far I have only tackled fairly short walks as it’s not much fun on your own. It would be nice to get together with other not too serious walkers in my neck of the woods to get out into the countryside for some “moderate” walking. I am a dog lover so would welcome them too!

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

My Message: Hi, I and my partner have recently got back into walking and love walking our dog locally around Southampton and further afield when we can, prefferably combined with camping.

If there are any walking groups who accept dogs and walk within reach of Southampton, please get in touch. We would like to meet other walkers and have some walking dog mates for our JRT. Thanks Gemma.

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

My Message: Hello, don't let the first part of my message put off any novice walkers or anybody who would just like a stroll in the countryside. I spent 15 years in the army so am used to walking, I did a Arctic survival course with the Royal Norwegian Air Force, a sea survival course with the German Air Force and a jungle survival course with the SAS so I know my way around a map and compass BUT I have recently had to retire due to ill heath. I have been diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy, to me and you that means the part of my heart that pumps out the oxygenated blood is only working at 27% capacity so I have to be very careful what I do. I'm up to 3-5 miles walking a day now but always take thing nice and steady, my walking area is East Leicestershire at the moment but I would like to go further afield if anybody would like to show me their area. I have recently rejoined the YHA so can stop over night if there is a hostel in your area. As I'm now retired I can walk week days as well as weekends. I feel it is only fair to let people know of my limitation but please don't let that put you off...... I'm not dead YET!!!!!

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

My Message: Hi, I have always enjoyed walking in my home town, local woods and beauty spots but am now looking to walk for fitness and to discover new places, starting slowly and building up to longer adventures. I am easy-going with a good sense of humour and enjoying chatting about most subjects. I can only walk at weekends due to work and would ideally like to start in my local area before moving on to places like the Lake District or Scotland, so if you are a newbie like me or are willing to start slowly then I would be happy to hear from you. I love history so it would be good to combine some local history with a walk too.

My Message: Hi, im from the east midlands and been working in an office for too long! I think it's about time I used my weekends and other spare time to see more of the countryside. I am a complete novice at country walking but do not mind at all what your experience is. I cannot as yet say what I want because I really don't know and should be up for most things.

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

My Message: Hi, I'm a single, 57 year old, female, who has just moved from the Derbyshire Peak District to rural Bedfordshire! So I'm missing the hills. I'm looking for a male friend for walking, talking, laughing and that pint/meal at the end of the day. I love walking in wild, empty places and don't mind roughing it occasionally to get to that special place. I completed the Coast to Coast in May and would like to do other trails........preferably using B&Bs! I've walked a lot in Europe, Canada, Patagonia and New Zealand and would love to discover new places. And I've recently discovered the delights of Assynt and Norway. I work full-time, so weekends tend to be reserved for walks. I'm not particularly fast - I like to take in everything around me rather than going on a route march! I'd love to hear from you if you have similar interests.

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

My Message: Hi, I live in Derbyshire and I am genuinely looking for a male companion to share all there is to love and enjoy in walking and discovering new experiences. I have loved walking for many years, and has always been my love and a way of keeping fit and healthy. I love walking in any weather and as often as possible. I enjoy both gentle walking, stoping to take in views and breath the fresh air, and longer all day walks which are more challenging.

I love walking holidays, and I would very much like to explore further. There are so many areas of the country I have yet to discover, and I am looking for a like minded male to share these times with. I would love to plan a walking holiday this year.

I am free to walk most week-ends, and also some evenings when the evenings are lighter.

I would love to hear from you if you would like to share my love of walking, and the discovery of many new walks up and down the country.

Thank you for reading my message, Olwyn.

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

My Message: Hello. I’m Kent-based, 51 on birth certificate, but stopped counting at 35. Commuting to the City for work means that I can only get out to walk at weekends, but I became single again last year, so I now have every other weekend free.

I enjoy fairly strenuous fell walks, but I’m equally happy on a woodland stroll, as I walk for the pleasure of being in the countryside, stopping to look around, and maybe taking some photos – I’m not interested in beasting myself on a route march. If you appreciate the simple pleasure of birdsong on a balmy June day, you’ll know what gets me out of doors too.

The Lakes are my main passion, but living in the SE means I only get to do Wainwright bagging 2 or 3 times a year, alas. I’m planning to do the C2C, and hope to tick off some sections of the North Downs Way as “training” walks between now and then. I also have NNAS Silver Cert, so can usually find my way home..

I have enjoyed my solo walking so far, but would love to join a group of like-minded souls, or to hear from anyone (M/F) with whom any of this strikes a chord, and who enjoys a walk and an easy-going natter on just about anything. Local contacts would be ideal, of course, but I’m equally happy to travel further afield to meet and walk – anywhere in fact where there is good scenery, pleasant company, and a village pub. Hope to hear from you.

I am a Walker, in my mid 60s, based near London.

My Message: I am now retired and have more time to enjoy walking. In the past few years I have walked the West Highland Way, Great Glen, part of the Coast to Coast but also enjoy walking locally. I don't like walking in large groups and most of my friends consider two miles excessive so I am looking for a walking buddy to walk with on a regular basis around the London area and then perhaps expanding to further afield. I enjoy walking anywhere, beach, hills, woods country and even urban walks and would like someone to chat with and if they have map-reading skills that would be a bonus! I have well behaved collie-cross who likes to accompany me if the walk is suitable.

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

My Message: I am specially looking for a female companion of any age who likes to walk and talk. I love good laugh. I am interested in most things and my hobbies are mostly of the all round active healthy kind, body and mind. My philosophy is 'give and take' and 'it takes two'.
Also, in school term time I like to walk weekdays between 9 and 3 preferably and not too far away from here in Sheffield i. e. Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire mostly, but not exclusively.
I work from home, mostly on the pc, so my hours are very flexible, and I am happy to have an IM chat on MSN or Yahoo or similar to get to know each other a bit first.
I look forward to hearing from you, talking to you, and hopefully 'going for a walk' together!
My laptop (and mobile phone) go with me everywhere so I check for replies wherever I am.
Matt

I am a Walker, in my mid 30s, based near Bolton.

My Message: Looking for a walking buddy? Perhaps we can help each other. My name's John and I'm very keen on walking. I'm 34 and live in Bolton in Lancashire. I have about twenty years' walking experience and am comfortable on various terrains from low-level walks to the mountains of the Lake District and Wales. I am physically fit and can easily walk twelve to fourteen miles per day. Swimming and cycling are two of my other interests. The only difference between you and me is that I cannot see. I am therefore looking for people to walk with who can act as my eyes. Guiding me is very much easier than you might think and I can easily explain to you how to do it, even if you've never guided a blind person before. The main things you need are an open mind and common sense. If you've got those, we should get on great! If you're interested in meeting up for a walk, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.

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

My Message: Hi, I am 43 (female, single) and live by the Quantock hills in Somerset. I enjoy walking and always intend to be a bit more adventurous and go further afield but would really like someone to walk and talk with. Otherwise I just whimp out! I have kids at home who are old enough to be left for a for a while and I even get the odd weekend free.
I am arty and spend time on my own painting; but that can drive me crazy if I don't get out and see some of the world. I think seeing it at walking pace and being able to have company en route is the best!
I don't mind what age or male or female. (Although I am single and I guess hope springs eternal, this isn't really about that!)
I am keen to see anywhere, I even like walking around cities. Mountains, hills, coast. Lets get going!!
