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

My Message: Hi, I moved down to the Worcester area last year and would like to meet female walkers for walks in this general area or further afield, I don’t mind travelling to meet up or to explore new areas. I am reasonably fit and enjoy getting out and about discovering new places by finding walks off the beaten track, not to bad with maps!
I am semi retired and can meet up during the week or weekends.
Enjoy the countryside and will walk anything up to 10 to 12 miles but happy with shorter strolls as well. It is always more enjoyable with good company to have a chat with and the obligatory drink in the local pub afterwards (or en route!).
Hope to hear from you soon. John

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

My Message: Hi, my name is Alan, in the summer of 2009 I walked the whole 630 miles of the southwest coast path in one go backpacking, camping most nights I rate this as the most enjoyable experience of my life, on that occasion the walk was completed alone which I was very happy with as this meant I met some wonderful people along the way, since returning there’s only been one thing on my mind to do it again, but this time would like to get a few like minded males, females, together to share this extraordinary experience with. It took me 7 weeks to complete I think this amount of time is about right as this allowed some rest days believe me you will need them I'm not going to pretend this was easy its not but with a bit of training and the right equipment most walkers could do it I would imagine that time is the biggest barrier for most. One thing I can guarantee is your have the best time of your life, I would be happy to give some advice on training and equipment. So is anyone up for an adventure!! a challenge!! if so mail me!!

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

My Message: Well, I am up for just about anything with anyone. Young/old, male/female, etc etc. It's not that I'm not fussy, but I enjoy meeting and finding about new people, although finding a regular glutten for punishment would be good. I enjoy a good laugh and a chat, but equally happy just enjoying sharing the scenery in ' companiable solitude' - not sure where that one came from!!
My usual partners circumstances have changed - baby, moved away, and the other one, well she found herself a man.
I am confident with navigation, enjoy grade 1 scrambles -although I used to climb to a good standard and fancy taking on a bit more, although I have no kit now.
I am currently looking for work so have a reasonable amount of flexibility of when and how long I go for, subject to getting a pass from 'she who must be obeyed'! But not a problem.
I am up for wild camping - but prefer bunk houses/bothys this trime of year.

Would love to have a bit of a challenge in winter conditions, if someone is happy to share their knowledge, I am prepared to invest in more winter kit.

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

My Message: Hi, I have always enjoyed walking and would like to get back into it and build up my fitness with a view to walking/trecking abroad at some time, hopefully somewher high and dramatic!

I am happy to walk with singles, small groups, both males and females. I am able to walk at weekends and in the school holidays. Very happy to combine walk with a drink or lunch at a nice country pub. If you think I may be a suitable walking-mate for you please contact me.

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

My Message: Hi, I'm a 'relaxed' walker with a great love of the countryside and nature, married to a non-walker! I'm not into route marches (perish the thought!) but like to stop and appreciate interesting views. I like photography and would enjoy sharing walks with chatty like-minded individuals with a view to building a small group of friends to walk with, find nice watering holes and coffee houses to round off the day. I also have long summer breaks to extend walks - maybe walking hols which are great fun - as I work term-time only.

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

My Message: Hello Everyone,
I’ll be moving to south Devon next Spring to semi-retire, walk more, make friends, discover new hobbies and generally enjoy myself. So I am planning ahead and hoping meantime to make contact with folk (M/F/groups) who like walking the Coastal path/Dartmoor/anywhere else beautiful (so much choice down there!). I currently visit Devon regularly (to walk and to see towns/villages I think I might want to live in) so please let me know if you’d like to meet up to share a walk and a chat. I can navigate reasonably well, am fit (but like to pause now and again to appreciate just being where I am) and I enjoy good company.

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

My Message: Hi, I am a fairly fit 59 year old female who is based in West Cumbria and has walked extensively in the Lake District over the last 6 years when I moved here. Having recently retired and with extra time of my hands I would now like to walk in more of the UK. Unfortunately my husband hates walking and has no desire to accompany me on my travels so it would be good to meet up with anyone who enjoys walking as much as I do. I have a car and am quite happy to drive pretty much anywhere!

My Message: Hi I like to walk and since becoming single a few years ago have nobody to walk with as none of my friends are interested. I live in Croydon in Surrey but drive so happy for either local walks or further away. I don't like big groups so would be nice to find somebody to walk with especially as the weather improves. Also like the Peaks, Yorkshire Dales and Snowdonia for weekends away.

I am looking for male or female companions to share my passion mainly at weekends as I work full time. I am building up my fitness walking on the forest (New Forest) and as much as I dont mind walking alone in the evenings it would be great to share my passion and see more of our stunning landscape at weekends. Im prepared to travel particularly to the west country. I like a chat but am also a lover of a comfortable silence so rest assured I wont irritate you! If you think we may gel please drop me a lline.

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

My Message: Hi - My name is Kate (40yrs) and I live in the Newbury/Hungerford area. I would love to hear from anyone (male/female) who is keen to take me under their wing and help me rediscover the joys of walking and the beautiful scenery and wildlife of the UK. You would preferably be au fait with a compass/map and confident to take the lead! I am reasonably fit, although there is room for improvement, as I have not walked for a while!! I am happy to travel in order to explore new routes. I am also partial to rounding off a walk with a visit to a good, old, traditional English pub or the like.

I also love horse riding and cylcling although have friends who are happy to join me in these activities. Whereas, walking appears to be rather a different matter for some reason, hence my message. Much more fun to walk in good company than alone!
