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

My Message: I've always enjoyed coastal walking and love the sea. I know and love the Dorset coast. It's beautiful at any time of the year. Although I've put mainly the South-West as my areas of interest for walking, I'd love to go further afield if I had company to walk with - singles or couples - I don't mind which. I work full-time but can arrange to walk at weekends or school holidays. I'm happy to try something a bit challenging rather than a gentle stroll and I'm handy with a map and compass. I've done a bit of orienteering in the past. Do get in touch if you might be interested :)

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

My Message: Hi, I am a cheerful, happy go lucky, adventurous guy who has always had a facination for the outdoors-walking, camping, caving etc and a love of travel. I am planning to walk some long distance paths such as the Lancashire Coastal Way, Ribble Way or discuss any path you are interested in. I intend to video the walk and it would be fantastic to meet someone who would enjoy sharing the challenge. Probably do the walk in stages over a period of time. I am happy to begin with easy sections of about 5 miles enjoying the walk, increasing the distance as we get fitter. I am free most days and look forward to hearing from anyone who would like to join me in planning and doing some great walks. I am open to any other ideas and love country pubs.

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

My Message: Recently retired professional male who can’t stand being indoors.
I usually do a couple of grade 3-4 walks a week and I hope to build-up to at least one 2/3 day walk each week, grade 5-9, in all weathers, over the winter months. I would prefer these to be mid-week but this is flexible. I’m looking for similar minded companions seeking to improve fitness, navigation, and hill-savvy skills. This is as much for safety reasons as for those deep philosophical conversations on climbs of 1000+ feet.

I’m no Bear Grylls – I have a modern campervan than I use as a base for longer trips but I consider the local Travelodge/BandB to be mandatory for sleeping! The van provides a neat facility for setting the heating on automatic timer and my must-have:- freshly brewed coffee.

I’m based in Hertfordshire and East Kent so I have a long drive to find any decent hills. You are bound to be en route to most of the national parks so location and lack of transport shouldn’t put you off. I’m not all climbing and route-marches, and expect to include wild-life reserves and historical places in any itinerary – but no shopping malls! You should expect to budget £50-£100 expenses for each trip.

I have no fixed plans or destinations, although the Munros in January are out, same for the Alps.
Let me know if you are interested and we can have a trial stroll up Box Hill or similar.

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

My Message: Hi
I have been getting lazy of late and only been walking the rolling downs of Hampshire, I recently went up Pen Y Fan and my body reminded me of muscles I had forgotten about. I would love to get back into walking more challenging walks. I used to spend a lot of time in the peak district arround Edale and would love to re aquaint myself with that area again, but am willing to go anywhere there is a descent ascent. Sharing the travel costs would be a great advantage.
I am a 52 year old male and would love to hear from anyone who is patient enough to walk with me whilst I get my leg muscles working again or people who are in a similar position to myself.

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

My Message: I have lived in the UK for 7 years and have come to know the Cornish walking trails very well with a few forays to Dartmoor and the South Devon coast. I would like to expand this and am very keen to explore further afield, both in the UK and Europe. I am a doctor with a rather busy job, but can take time off to travel and intend to do more of this. My rather angelic Border Collie usually accompanies me with great enthusiasm and generally gets on with everyone he meets. I am hoping to meet walkers from all areas, I would be interested in joining group walks or others who walk singly. I previously lived in Cape Town, and climbed Table mountain and the mountains of the Western Cape extensively, thus I have a pretty good degree of fitness and can manage long distances and inclines, I do not climb with equipment or up rock faces but up to almost anything else.

My Message: Hello, I am Angela living reasonably close to the New Forest and on the South Coast which offers some fantastic scenery and quite challenging walks. I have in the past done quite a bit of walking in the Lake District. I am fit, walking about 8 miles comfortably and am aiming to improve my fitness level, preferably with a male companion, within my area to begin with and gradually building up. I enjoy the 'outdoors' very much and taking in a pub for a drink/meal on the way. I look forward to sharing some special times and enjoying the company of a like-minded walker.

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

My Message: Hi,

I’m a black female who’s a total beginner at walking. I’m looking for single male - but I’m not looking for a date :-), or female friends to go walking with. I live in central London and I’m pretty open about where we go walking as I don’t mind sharing petrol costs to get to the walk if you drive. I don’t really know where the ideal places are to go walking so I’m looking someone who would be willing to plan and lead our walk. I’m down to earth and chatty and don’t mind if we end up in a country pub afterwards for a well deserved meal/drink. I’ve ticked the areas that I’ve heard of but I don’t mind going somewhere new.

So c’mon, get in touch and lets go walking! :-)

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

My Message: Hello all, I’m looking to meet up with anyone (not groups) for a walk or two in my home County of Devon or nearby Cornwall or Somerset. Happy to walk any distance from 3 to 8 miles to start with, maybe more later, but I do like to take stops to enjoy the scenery and take photo's. Map reading is not one of my strong points but I’m keen to learn. Will happily share the delights of a few local walks I know of but also wish to discover new routes, rain will not put me off. Free most weekends and time off in the week is a possibility with enough notice. Looking forward to meeting some of you.

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

My Message: Hi I am Ellen, widowed and live near Hinckley (Leicestershire) although Scotland is my native home. I am looking to make new friends and perhaps find someone special who has a similar outlook on life to me. I enjoy all sorts of walking and have just completed the West Highland Way climbing Ben Nevis as a finale. I have recently been trekking in Nepal in the Annapurna Range BUT I am equally happy exploring the hidden parts of the UK.

My other interests are running, keeping fit, gardening and most things involving the outdoor life. I also enjoy travel to far flung places.

I have a strong sense of adventure and look forward to hearing from anyone who finds my profile interesting!!
