I am a Male Walker, in my late 60s, based near Rugby.
My Message: I am an experienced, fit walker with a particular passion for hiking and wild camping. I am going to the Pyrenees from 14th August for two weeks and would very much like to walk with a companion (my son was coming but very sadly he has had to drop out at the last minute). I intend to walk in the general area of Vignemale, Gavarnie, Odessa, Neouvielle/Vallee d'Aure - areas I know well from previous similar trips - it is stunning scenery and quite accessible. Typically I would would sort out routes for 3-4 days, camp out for a couple of nights, walking 5-6 hours a day and exploring.
I am retired with a now grown up family and love cycling, walking, climbing, sailing, the outdoor life in general. I enjoy meeting people, a good discussion about life the universe and everything, classical music, I know nothing about sport!
If you would like to join me on this adventure please make contact. Look forward to hearing from you. Bye - Laurie

I am a Female Walker, in my early 50s, based near Bradford.
My Message: Hello everyone, there doesn't appear to be a page here to list walking groups, which is a real shame as I belong to an absolutely fantastic one. The only problem is, I live in Bradford and the group is based in the Lake district: I love my walking club, but it's a long drive (around 1. 5hrs each way).
Although I truly enjoy the journey, it's costly on petrol on my own so I can't go as often as I'd like to. So I was wondering if there is anyone in the Bradford/Leeds areas, or anyone en-route on the A65, who would be interested in joining me and sharing transport costs? I know it's a long shot, but hey-ho it's worth a pop. The club meet at 8. 30am every Sunday morning in all weathers and seasons. It's definitely a 'real' fell walking club - there are 3 grades of walk every week so there's something for everyone from the relatively gentle 'C' walks (usually around 8 miles and 1-3 peaks) to the astonishing 'A' walkers who are pretty hardcore (multiple hills and a LOT of ground covered in a day. A lot of them are climbers as well - I'm in awe to be honest). I tend to enjoy the middle ground of the 'B' walks with the occasional 'C'.
I'm not bad company (or so I'm told), and even better is that I don't drink and love driving ;D so if anyone is interested then please message me! (Oh, and to avoid any potential misunderstandings, I'm not posting this to find a boyfriend so males and females of all ages are very welcome.)

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Wakefield.
My Message: Hi, I am looking for walking companions either female or male. I would like to do reasonable walks of about 5 - 8 miles and looking for companions who like to do easier 1-3 type walks ( I'm not a mountain goat!) whilst also socialising with people with different interests (no forced marchers please!).
I really enjoy coastal walks and gettting out and about. I would like to mainly walk at weekends either local walks or further afield. I live in Wakefield in West Yorkshire and have a car so trips out to East, North Yorkshire and Lincolnshire prefered but I would consider travelling further. I also like camping and have my own "old" micro campervan.
If this message is of interest to you please let me know.
Best Wishes,
Diane

I am a Male Walker, in my late 30s, based near Derbyshire.
My Message: Hi all. I'm a 37 year old male from Derby, whom has quite recently developed a passion for the great outdoors - a passion, unfortunately, not shared with my city-going friends. My walking boots don't get to see anywhere near as much terrain as they deserve to, and I'm hoping that this website can change that.
I am therefore, looking for some company, male or female - age not an issue - who enjoys the walking, the fresh air, the exercise, and especially the scenery as much as I do. Whether it's a quiet, easy stroll, or something more demanding over several days, I really don't mind. The weather is also not a problem to me - like any sensible person, I prefer the sun to be in the sky and a mild breeze to be in the air, but I also enjoy walks in varying climates as long as I remember to pack the correct gear! :-)
If anybody reading this post feels in a similar situation, then please get in touch and drop me a message.
I look forward to responding. Thanks. Matt.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 60s, based near Poole.
My Message: Hello my name is Carole. I live in Dorset. I walk at least 5kms every day as I have a very energetic young dog. At the weekends we walk upto 23kms each day over beautiful heathland - so I am fit when it comes to dog walking. I love the outdoors, enjoying the peace and solitude of nature. I want to expand my horizons and do some serious walking but not alone as tend to get lost however not interested in walking with an organised group. I work full time so weekends are mainly when I'm available. I am always up for a challenge and adventure - my last challenge was sailing, now seeking something different on land and planning to do the Camino de Santiago in 2017 so need to start training. Is there anyone out there who would like company on their walks?

I am a Female Walker, in my early 70s, based near Buxton.
My Message: While I am still able to put one foot in front of the other, I would like to find some walking company with whom to discover even more of the Peak District where I now live.
I am articulate, I love the English language & have even been known to read the dictionary - how sad is that! I also have a wicked sense of humour and laugh a lot. I love animals and have a lovely young dog to share my home with, but really miss having another human being to share things with - like getting into walking gear to explore beautiful scenery and wild walks in the countryside, or at other times scrubbing up to go to a concert.
I am always keen to learn more about even seemingly remote subjects - self development is very close to my heart and over all I am usually pretty positive. I write articles for Derbyshire magazines and thoroughly enjoy the research side of it - we are so lucky to have the internet as a resource, certainly less bulky to use a laptop than the Encyclopaedia Britannica!!
When one is left living on one's own, there are so many every day bonuses that one misses - that lovely day's walk in beautiful scenery with the sun beaming down is so much more important when shared, the joint emotions of listening to stunningly moving music, as is cooking a superb meal and eating it with another (hopefully appreciative) human soul. Just as vital is the sharing of down times - they always say a trouble shared is a trouble halved, & how true that is. I used to adore having 'silly moments' when something like Fawlty Towers tickled you both so much that you both ended up laughing hysterically and by the end neither really even remembered what they were laughing at!
I'm accomplished at many diverse things, such as cooking but dislike cooking for one, and currently absolutely yearn for some highly intelligent, stimulating conversation which I have failed to get from my dog; if I can combine that with getting out into the countryside, please get in touch.
Regards,
Deborah

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Worcestershire.
My Message: Hello, my name is Alex, I am a well spoken, well educated male, fit, slim, single, 55 year old, living in a beautiful, rural area of Worcestershire. I received an email a couple of years ago from a chum who was backpacking his way around New Zealand, and he was encouraging me to get off my bottom, see more of this island, and perhaps join a walking club.... so here I am!
In February 2016 I had a major operation, but all is well now thankfully. Initially, I would like to gently ease my way back into walking, until full fitness is restored. I regularly used to walk the Malvern Hills, all through the Cotswolds, and have done many, many miles in the West of Ireland when I lived there. I still want to walk my regular walks, but now I have a mind to cast my net wider, in search of some fresh challenges and experiences. My ideal companion who I would like to join me? Female, slim, bright, optimistic, good company, has a sense of direction (as my map reading ability is very rusty). Someone who would be happy to have a few well deserved drinks and a pub meal at the end of the day. I no longer have a dog, so if you do happen to have a four-legged friend who loves the outdoor life, and who of course loves me too, then even better. I have plenty of time on my hands, during the week and at weekends, and I drive, so if you are looking for some genial and intelligent company along the way, perhaps we should make a plan.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 50s, based near Storrington.
My Message: I'm new to living in West Sussex, just north of the South Downs. I adore walking, exploring, finding new routes, sometimes using the map and sometimes not using the map. I normally walk alone and I'm comfortable with the liberating feeling that gives me, especially when I have my camera. Having walking companions would be marvellous though, maybe a bit nostalgic too. I walk around 5 or 6 miles right now, more not to aggravate a dodgy calf muscle, but that distance may well increase. I'm in my early fifties but I'm fit and nimble and walk quite fast (though slow down or stop randomly when something catches my attention!). My interests are wide and I love an intellectual or out of the box conversation. I haven't read too many novels - too busy enjoying being outside.

I am a Male Walker, in my late 20s, based near St Ives, Cornwall.
My Message: Having only lived in Cornwall for the last few years, I am still exploring - coming from the Cotswolds, I do miss trees(!), so I am most happy kicking up the leaves on a woodland walk, although Cornwall has some amazing coastal/ moorland walks that I really love. It would of course be nice to share a walk with someone, once in a while; so anyone who likes to stroll casually, preferably likes scones and doesn't mind bats - then we're likely to get on...

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Crawley.
My Message: Hello my name is Sheena a non-smoker and 55 who lives in Crawley. I see myself as reasonable fit for my age and regular do the Brighton Marathon to keep me active, but my passion is long walks.
I sometimes wonder off for several hours round the local area to discover I just walked 14 miles across country. But it would be nice to have a male or female walking companion to share this with. Particularly someone who would like to meet up regularly to explore trails and paths around Sussex and Surrey and occasionally plan an adventure further afield.
I work full-time so the weekends are best for me and particularly interested in doing 10-16 miles plus walks, but not a race as I like to look at the scenery, smell the flowers and listen to the wild life, saying that, not a Sunday stroll either, not bothered about the terrain and happy with pubs, picnic and tearoom.
I do drive so can travel and meet up.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 20s, based near West Bretton.
My Message: Hi everyone, my names Laura and I'm 22 years old. I'm looking for a walking partner from Monday - Friday in and around Yorkshire/Derbyshire. I wouldn't say I'm one of the fittest out there but I'm definitely working towards getting better and better. At the moment I'm currently walking 6/7 miles a day in all sorts of terrain alone, so I'm just looking for someone to witness the beauty of the outdoors with me. I love all things vintage, absolutely love history (especially the classical history) and I tend to 'get on with' people of a higher age than me. Men and women my age into walking/hiking is incredibly hard to find. I would like to point out after reading some other adverts that I am looking for something purely platonic as I am not single. There is no filter on my ad on whom I'm looking for, whether it's a gentle troll or a tougher hike I am absolutely happy in both elements.
Look forward to hearing from you!
Laura.

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Nantwich.
My Message: Hi,
I live in Nantwich. My wife and friends are not keen on mountains or high places so I sometimes walk with groups (clubs, walking festivals or charity events). Other times I walk alone. I am looking for new friends for occasional day or weekend walks (male, female or small group).
I'm easy going, and always up for a laugh. Ideally I prefer mountain walks in wild places, ridge walks, edge walks, anything with some elevation and views really. A bit of scrambling is always a welcome bonus. Also I like overnight walks to take in the sunrise over the mountains when conditions allow. Happy to do some lower level walks though particularly if the weather is bad. Ok with map and compass, never get lost, though occasionally I get delayed ;-)
Some people have said that I walk fairly fast, I’m not sure really so I went up Snowdon on one of the easy paths, good weather and an 8kg pack. Took just under 2 hours from car park to summit (about 4 miles and 3,000 ft. ) I think that is a steady relaxed pace but might be fast for some people, slow for others. (I can walk faster or slower though) Distance is no problem, really depends on the terrain but long or shorter days are fine.
Happy staying in Youth hostels, bunkhouses, camping, bivvy bag on a hill, etc.
My Favorite place to walk is Snowdonia (still plenty more to explore) but I would like to spend a bit more time on the high fells in the Lake District this summer and possibly do the Yorkshire 3 peaks (never done it but no idea why not). Scotland would also be good but may have to wait due to available time.
Open to suggestions for any new challenges, via ferrata, Caving, Sea to Summit, Perhaps Lakeland 3000s or Welsh 3000s (probably over a weekend though as I don’t think I am fit enough to do either of these in the 24 hours) I plan to retire in about 2 years so I will have more time for bigger adventures but for now I am limited to weekends though I can usually get away early on Fridays.
I love dogs, don’t have one at present but Border Collies are my favorite breed. I like them all though so if you have a dog that likes to walk that would be great.
If you fancy meeting up for a walk sometime please get in touch, I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks
Dave.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 50s, based near Durham Area.
My Message: Hi.. i like to go for walks around lakes and river, anywhere close to water really, ive just come back from a 4 day trip to snowdonia and in may i was in keswick around derwent water and ullswater, always with camera in hand.... ive only really been doing this for a few years so i guess im still a novice..

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Northallerton.
My Message: I love walking in the Cumbrian Mountains, the Yorkshire Dales and North Yorkshire Moors but, unfortunately, have nowhere near enough opportunities to get away and do so during term time. You may now have figured out that I am a teacher! I run the Duke of Edinburgh's Gold Award scheme for my school and I am a qualified ML(S). I am happy to walk solo but it's much more fun to walk with a companion. Most of my colleagues run a mile when I suggest a walk or a night's wild camping. So if any one is out there who might like to get together for a day out on fells or Dales; maybe even two, please get in touch. Tom

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Kendal.
My Message: Hello I am John and have recently moved into the south lakes area. I am looking for a walking companion male / female to join me on walks grade 3-4-5-6-7.
I am recently retired and enjoy walking, sailing, basically anything which gets me outside into this wonderful area. I enjoy both hill walks and occasionally walking along a river or around a lake.
I have a well behaved rescued blue roan cocker spaniel who also enjoys a good walk so another dog would not be a problem.
At the end of a walk there is nothing better than a drink and maybe a pub lunch.
look forward to hearing from any like minded person.
John
