My Message: Hi My Name is Lynne, I am 56yrs old, 5ft 6ins, 10. 5st, Blonde, size 12ish, very active, love walking and although I walk a lot with groups would love to find a walking buddie who sets a reasonable pace (about 3 miles per hour) and someone just to converse with about the view and things in general. I love music, dancing, swimming and scuba diving and have many varied interests. I have been seperated from my 23 year marriage for some years now. I love a laugh, a good joke.

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

My Message: Hello, am looking to meet new friends for walking around the South West, particularly Exmoor and Dartmoor. Looking for weekend walking partners for a good long walk and a pub lunch or cream tea. Have fairly good fitness and walked the Coast to Coast walk last summer - fantastic. Also have a sister that owns a lovely pub in Powys so walkers around that area would be great also, will keep me from having to help with the washing up!
Hope to hear from you.

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

My Message: Hi,
I'm Claire, 47 and reasonably fit living in North Hampshire and wanting to walk more, mainly in my localised area at weekends but also happy to go further afield with longer days. Local groups like Ramblers aren't really my thing as prefer a faster pace and smaller groups, one/two people, good conversation and have fun and fresh air. Currently walking about 8-10 miles but wanting to do more and explore new areas. Haven't read maps for years but happy to learn.
Get in touch.

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

My Message: I've just joined up on this site and hoping to meet people both singles and groups to walk with. I mainly wander around the New Forest area and the beaches and coast of Dorset, however willing to travel further depending on my work schedule and time available. I am reasonably fit and can manage at least a 10 mile walk... better start gradually, hopefully be able to increase my fitness as i put them behind me. I like to camp and enjoy outdoor living, I have a practical sort of head about me and not a lot can scare me... only bottomless crevices and sheer cliffs if i have to comprehend them. Drop me a post if you think i can join in.

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

My Message: Hi there,
I've only recently signed up to this and though it looked like a great idea to find like-minded people that may wish to join me out and about someday.
I'm 36, single and live / work in Pembrokeshire, West Wales.
I've always been keen to explore the great outdoors, and I'm always up for new challenges, however until recently I probably haven't made as much of an effort as I should have done. The fact that most of my friends don't share my passion for the outdoors has restricted me to a certain degree but I've decided to put that right!! So, hopefully I'll find willing companions to enjoy an afternoon / weekend walk or challenge sometime, perhaps with the prospect of lunch afterwards, who knows???
Failing that, I'll head out alone - I've decided our great countryside has too uch to offer to simply let the chance go by
If you're interested in joining me someday then I'd love to hear from you, and hope you'll get in touch before tooo long, thanks, Gregg

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.

My Message: Hello - it's been a while since I've been actively walking. 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 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 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.
