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

My Message: Hi, I’m Steve, 55, 5’ 6” tall, average build, but not as fit as I think I am! I’m looking for a female walking companion to share big & small adventures in the great outdoors. I have the Ridgeway and Cotswolds close by but prefer the high places like the Lake District, Snowdonia and the Brecons and head for them when time and funds allow. I also enjoy coastal walks or mooching around a town. I love camping and am looking to trying wild camping this year as I’m a keen photographer wanting to capture mountain sunrises and sunsets. Not averse to the odd B&B or hotel now and again though. I work office hours so am usually free at weekends, and summer evenings locally. I think I’m a reasonable navigator (thank you GPS!). And it’s always nice to go for a drink and chat at the end of the day. I’m not really into route marches but like to stop to admire the view and take photos. Happy to walk in all weathers. Happy in my own company but it would be great to have a like-minded soul along for the journey.

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

My Message: Hi,

hoping to find some like minded walkers/hikers/campers to turn solo walking into a group or pair activity.

I've recently moved to Bath and work a demanding and physical job, so enjoy weekends 'getting away from it all' and with a challenge.

As I'm new to the area, having some company would also be great.

I'm fit, active and reasonably experienced hill walker, both in UK and abroad. I'm not a technical climber but enjoy a scamble and steep inclines. Happy to travel and undertake treks and multiday walks.

If interested, please drop me a line....

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

My Message: Hello, I’m Sandi, fit and 59, no partner and in a full-time job but with weekends free. Done good distances all round Europe and Africa and back home I walk, run or cycle 4 and a half miles to and from work most days but really like to stretch my legs a good 12 – 16 miles at the weekends when possible dependent on the season and daylight. Moonwalks and Marathon walks also done and still on the list and I would really like to meet up with anyone wanting to share company and make new friends and am happy to travel or make a weekend of it somewhere. I’d love to notch up some of the UK national trails (Still trying to get to section 6 of the Ridgeway) and my great wish is to be able to complete the South West coast trail! Just love being outdoors and happy to pub or picnic. Currently looking for someone to do the South Downs way all in one with me over a week in August.... Any takers?

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

My Message: Hi, I'm Caroline. I love the outdoor life, particularly walking in the hills. There's nothing better than reaching the top of a mountain on a crisp, sunny morning and enjoying the view. Getting there is the is the challenge! Over the years I've enjoyed walking in most of the peaks and mountains of Britain, but there are still many new routes to discover. It would be great to share the experience with a like minded male. To walk, talk and share the apres adventure. If you like the idea drop me a line.

Box No: 106265

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

My Message: I have just taken up walking, after years of racket and other ball sports. I am looking for likeminded people who want reasonably strenuous walks (typically 10 to 20 miles at level 4) on Sundays and, on the odd occasion, weekends further afield.
For the Sunday walks logistics of getting to a starting point will probably limit me to 100 miles from home (Woodford Green, Essex), preferably a lot closer!
For weekends away I will travel pretty much anywhere.
I like to think I am fairly sociable and love to chat to people when I am walking. Don’t mind a pie and a pint at the end of a trek either.
Quite happy to organising a walk if anyone is interested in Epping Forest, Lea Valley or Essex countryside.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have similar interests or know of any individuals or groups already doing the same.
Regards
Chris

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

My Message: Hello there I seem to have ticked an awful lot of boxes where I would like to walk. Im not sure if it was meant to be areas where you would like to access in a weekend. If so I obviously wont be able to go to some of these (eg orkney!).
Anyway Im writing this as i hope to find more friends to go on walking trips with and maybe even walking holidays. Ive done walking hols abroad in the past but they have mainly been with companies like Exodus. I'd like to do my own trips with some like minded friends in the future.
But for now I'd just be happy to meet some people to do trips at the weekend with. Ive done quite a bit of walking with walking clubs in the past but I'd like to make it a bit more adventurous by going with friends and finding our own way.
Anyway I wont waffle on too much for now and hope to hear from someone!

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

My Message: I would like to get back to outdoors. Doing sports and being active through all my life, eventually, I had to avoid any of physical activities over a few years.
Looking for a group of activists or individuals who on regular bases organizing walks-hiking to join with.

Hi, I am a youthful 43 year old woman living in central London. I'm a 49/51% city/country lover and I love getting out to the countryside to walk. I want to do more of this and with like minded people. I like being in nature and enjoy all terrains, but particularly the rugged or remote ones. I really like Cumbria, Derbyshire and Cornwall. I'm pretty fit, though I'd prefer to ease in a bit before starting with a 10 mile climb ! Weekends are best.

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

My Message: Hello
I'm looking for walking companions for day walks initially. I like a good hike 6-12 miles, a few pauses on steep hills. I have good wet weather gear but not keen on trudging through mud! Flexible time-wise so can go on the spur of the moment when the sun shines.
I love good (lightweight) picnics, a good pub with an open fire, tea shops, NT, photography. I do gym, swim, body surf, cycling, ski, dance.
I like a good conversation and a chat but companionable silence is excellent too ;)

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

My Message: Hi, I'm a bit restricted in when I could walk which will probably only be Sundays, but I'd be happy with early starts. I'm in Winchester and I'd be quite keen to keep the walks around Hampshire, Dorset, South Downs etc. to fit them into a day, so not too keen on anything farther afield at the moment. Having said that the Peak District is my favourite place to walk! Would travel light, prefer a reasonable pace and am ok with anything up to say 15 miles, am reasonably fit so any terrain is ok.

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

My Message: I'm a 53 year old single, professional woman living in Leeds. I love walking, and do plenty of short but not particularly challenging walks in the countryside outside Leeds with friends. However, I enjoy more of a challenge, having recently got hooked on the delights of hill walking in the Lakes, and having been a member of LDWA for many years and done several of their challenge walks I'm also happy to walk longer distances. But, most of my friends don't fancy that idea, so I am looking for new walking partners to go further afield. OK, I will also be honest, as a single woman I would also like to meet a nice professional, single man who also enjoys walking - romance might just blossom on the hills!
