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

My Message: Hi, my name is Penny and I'm looking for a weekend walking companion to join me walking routes within a reasonable distance of north Hampshire. I work full time and crave a good dose of fresh air and a 10-12 mile stretch of the legs on a Saturday or Sunday.

I've completed a couple of national trails and am keen to do more. I can read a map and am not shy of walking in the rain, so long as we can keep going! I'm reasonably fit, have been a regular runner up to marathon length, and can be found at the gym at lunchtimes during the week.

I have tried walking with groups, but generally prefer the company of one other like minded soul, who enjoys a faster pace. Hope to hear from you!

My Message: Hi, I'm Jay, recently single and looking for female or group of like minded walkers Female/Male. Love the outdoors, camping, etc Would love to try wild camping with a 2/3 day walk all rolled in sometime.

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

My Message: Hi there,

I am looking to meet someone (m/f) to explore Britain's stunning countryside, coasts and waterways and exciting Cities on foot,
Just jump on a train to somewhere new and have an adventure. I can do a bit of basic map reading and can find North with a compass!! I'm not scared of the weather (not too keen on hailstorms though!?!) There's nowhere I don't really want to discover maybe even stay in a b and b and do two days walking. Love to hear from you. Let's make a plan.

I'm looking for folks to get out into the fresh air with, starting modestly I would think, but I'm keen to build up to more strenuous walks. I am London-based but I am happy to travel to meet up somewhere in the country. Not a dog-owner myself but happy to share the experience with pooches

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

My Message: I am looking to do more walking and rebuild my life after being suddenly widowed. I sometimes walk locally with a group, and will also do walks with my family; but I would like to find a male walking companion in my own age group (50-60) to open up the possibility of planning some special expeditions that I wouldn't tackle alone. I run a business from home so organise my own time.

I do a lot of thinking while walking and would appreciate the companionship of someone who shares my love of the natural world, will be happy to have a laugh and a chat and share a pint or two in the pub at the end of the journey, but is also happy with companionable silence in beautiful surroundings. Also, would like to meet a competent navigator so that I can once more walk in the wilder areas of Britain. I relied on my husband as the expert hill walker since although I'm a reasonable map reader, I have a hopeless sense of direction!

For this reason, my recent solo enterprise was to start walking the West Coast path, of which I've done a few instalments over recent years (progressed from Weston Super Mare to Bude so far). I reckoned if I kept the sea on my right, I couldn't go far wrong. I was happy to do this trek alone while my husband was alive, but now I prefer to avoid too much solitude.

12 miles in a day is about my absolute maximum if there are any hills involved. I tend to be happier walking round lakes looking up at mountains rather than half killing myself struggling to conquer them, but can be persuaded to tackle a challenge at my own pace. I don't do route marching. I'm an experienced camper, excellent at logistics and making tea, and may be accompanied by a dog.

I am a Walker, in my early 40s, based near St Leonards-on-sea.

My Message: Hi, I’m a keen walker, single, based on the Sussex coast. I like all sorts of walks, afternoon strolls to country pubs, or more challenging walks up mountains. Most of my walking is local to me in Sussex at the moment, except when I go on holiday. I’d like to explore further a field, but don’t have anyone to go exploring with. I enjoy the fresh air, the exercise, the conversation, the views and, if there’s a pub stop en route or at the end, the beer. I’d like to meet new friends for walks at weekends (I work Monday to Friday), but if you’re up for heading off for a weekend of walking in the more mountainous parts of the country, that would be cool too. Andrew

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

My Message: Hi, My name is Sue and I am 47 and single. I live in Hampshire and my passion for walking and hiking began a few years ago in the Lake District with my friend who lives in Newcastle.

I have progressed from flat walking to hiking in Andalucia (600-800 mtr climbs), Snowdon (miners trail) in July this year where it was heavy rain and blowing a gale the whole way up!!.... I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge though. Theres so many places I would like to visit however my walking partner lives too far away to make it a regular event. I do however reguarly walk with my sister and her husband locally in the New Forest/south coast and these are grade 1 and 2 walks.

It would be great to find a walking partner locally and happy to do 5 - 12 miles. I work shifts so often available mid week too. I have 2 daughters and 3 sisters so some male company would make a nice change. I do make a nice packed lunch but allways happy to visit the pub if preferable.

I have never used a map or compass, the walks/hikes I have done have either been guided or from a guide book but I am willing to learn!!

Personality wise I would describe myself as 'a people person' confident, outgoing and happy. I excersise approx 3 times a week.

Look forward to hearing from you.

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

My Message: HiI, i am 46, easy going and love adventure and nature, i am equally happy to take a short walk as i am to go up a mountain or go scrambling although I have to admit to not getting up one for the last couple of years for various reasons. I am happy to do local walks but also venture further affield, I love to finish off a good walk with a nice local pub, and also happy to camp on further afield trips. Enjoy cycling and golf also but i have friends who are happy to do these with me, however they do think that walking is something you do when the car has broken down hence the message. Anyone fancying a good walk with hopefully some good conversation and a good laugh then please drop me a line

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.

My Message: I'm currently trying to log as many mountainous days as I can over the next year in aid of my Summer Mountain Leader award. I live in the south but I don't mind getting trains to national parks anywhere in the country. I'm not available regularly (i. e. weekends) but I have decent length breaks from work every month. So I'm basically looking for somebody who would enjoy to go on multiple day mountainous expeditions anywhere in the UK.

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

My Message: Hi, I'm a 54 year old female based near Farnham, looking for male/female company for more regular walking in Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex, Dorest. Local walking groups are rather large and I prefer more one to one conversation, probably a faster pace too. I tend to use pre planned walks as I'm not the best map reader - happy to learn from an expert though! Available to walk at least every other weekend, and occasionally in the week, especially during summer months while the evenings are lighter. I'm reasonably fit (Gym and cycle) and happy to walk 8-10 miles or more. Love walking holidays uk or abroad, walked Hadrian's Wall two years ago. Would love to meet more liked minded people to share the beauty of uk countryside. Pub stops are equally important but I'm not adverse to the odd picnic! I look forward to hearing from you!
