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

My Message: I have done a lot of walking over the years both in the UK and abroad and retired so lots more time available now. My local area is the Cotswolds but I often walk in Wales, Derbyshire and the Lake District. I have completed part of the South West coast path and would like to do more. I particularly enjoy walking in the hills, coastal walking and walking a reasonable distance. Although I walk with various groups of friends regularly they are not always free or inclined to walk further from home. I have only marked a few areas as I would be willing to walk almost anywhere.
I look forward to finding new companions, particularly for the SWC path.

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

My Message: Reliving my passion for walking in the country side. As I am now registerd Blind I find it's not so easy for filling my love of walking. A keen rambler for many years I have a yearn to get out and about again and take in the beautiful creation that surrounds us. I am looking to make a couple of friends to come rambling. I'm living in London and need to get out from time to time.
I thought up to about 10+ miles would be a good starting distance. I can help with some travel expenses if we need a train. I am up for a pint, or tea, or my favoured place for a break is a bite to eat in the middle of nowhere propped up against a log or wall.
If you walk with a group or by yourself it would be great to hear from you.
If you think you can assist or have any ideas, just let me know and if you need any more information about me just ask, we'll see ware it takes us. Al

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

My Message: Hi folks,

I live in North Devon and I'm looking for someone - primarily - who would like to join me on Dartmoor for either day-walks or backpacking trips/wild camping, though fully prepared to go further afield.

I have a fair knowledge of Northern Dartmoor and am fully able to get lost there with the best of them!

I suppose I could call myself a Mountaineer. I've climbed and walked in the Himalayas, Caucusses, Pyrenees, North Africa and the Andes (they're at the end of your armies) and have been wandering around the UK mountains since childhood. I'm also an average mountain-biker (in that I fall off frequently). Quite keen on Via Feratta too.

I like to think that I'm relatively fit, and would be happy with walks of any distance.

Oh, and my name's John. If all this doesn't put you off nothing will!

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

My Message: Photo to follow shortly.
Spring is in the air. Spring is in my heart. Spring is my legs.
It's a while since I've had my boots on, but I miss it.
I have a good life, but a male walking companion would improve it.
I have no dependent children and I'm financially secure.
My hair isn't grey, and neither is my attitude.

Mostly I would prefer to walk locally, and holiday further afield.

Sue

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

My Message: Active 54 year old looking for equally active male walking buddy for walking at weekends in the main as work prevents weekday walking. Looking for friendship and companionship initially, and take it from there. Happy to tackle most walking terrain, and not just a fair weather walker. Would prefer a non smoking companion, and happy to partake in a beverage at a Pub either en route or at the end of a walk. Very keen to do much more walking than I do currently, but need a buddy and navigator on board. Much prefer company and pleasant banter, and the added security proved. Currently exercise at home daily but would much prefer to be in the outdoors and fresh air.

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 50s, based near Bristol.

My Message: Based in Bristol. I used to be very fit, walking and cycling every day. However, I'm working from home these days and suddenly piling on the pounds. Help! I would love to get fit again in the company enthusiastic walkers, male or female. I'm interested in making good friends, but am too used to the single life for a relationship. For the purposes of harmonious conversation, I'm an atheist and a bit of a liberal who wobbles with age into grumpiness. I love literature, writing, travel (especially Italy) and the English countryside and England, but NOT in a UKIP way.

I can make my own hours, so am available weekdays as well as weekends.

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Lyndhurst /Exmoor.

My Message: Hi I am a fairly fit heterosexual lady who would love to find a walking companion. I run a pub in the New Forest which is when I walk daily with my dogs but I spend alot of my time in Exmoor on my days off, where I also walk. I tend to walk much longer walks down there as obviously I have more time. I love taking time out to explore new areas especially Scotland which I have visited a lot but find it a bit lonely on my own all the time. I love staying in my camper in remote places and travelling around discovering new places in the British Isles. I would obviously like to meet the love of my life but to find a likewise person who is bright, loves the countryside, can cope with my dogs and enjoys walking with me would be great. I can walk up to 8 /10 miles easily and love picnics, or a visit to a pub. Anyone that would like to meet for a walk in the New Forest or Exmoor (or anywhere really.. there are so many places to see) please get in touch. I run from my pub a dog walk on the 1st Sunday in the month. Feel free anyone with a mut that would like to come along.

Most of my free time is in the week, 4 complete days off together so plenty of time for walking. Woud be prepared to travel, car share, expenses etc.
I'm 5ft 5ins ( just ) and have a Noir sense of humour, so if you like good food, posh Italian, or just a plain bacon sarnie, good conversation ( I like to put the world right ) art,(Salvador Dali and Georgia O'keeffe particular favs) music ( classical,sacred music, dance & trance ) then Id like your walking company.

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

My Message: Hi. I live and work in Bristol. I really enjoy country walks and usually try to get out regularly between work commitments. (I'm self employed so often different times each week) My favourite places to walk are Dartmoor and the Devon/Cornwall coast path. I've almost finished walking the Two Moors Way which I hope to complete over the next few months and then would like to start on the coast path as a long term project. Mostly I walk near Bristol in the Cotswolds/Somerset and very occasionally in the Brecon Beacons and Wye Valley. I'm 51, not good enough with computers to be able to add a photo, but energetic and keen to try some new walks and make some new friends. Not too bad with map reading and prefer to go wrong occasionally than to use GPS - it's more fun with paper and compass! I love picnics, flasks of tea and pub lunches!

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

My Message: Hello, my name is Adrian. I have spent to long walking on my own, and would love to find someone likeminded to accompany me and my dog snip.
I have tried for many years to get my partner and daughter to come along. Not going to happen.
I'm self-employed so I'm good for short notice and any time walks.
I've spent most of my time walking Dartmoor, but I also used to live in Blackpool, so north Wales and the lake district was my home ground.
My love is long distance walking. Camping is still good for me, but I must admit, the older you get the more BandB s look inviting.
