I am a Male Walker, in my early 60s, based near Sudbury.

My Message: Hello.
I haven't ticked the later walk codes as there are no mountains in Suffolk that I've noticed. (It's not that I can't do them or don't want to). There are however some lovely places to walk given a bit of plan. If there are 2 of us and 2 cars then we can maybe leave a car in an end place if a circular route won't work. I'm often free on a Sunday and sometimes during the week if work allows. I have a walking mate who calls me a mountain goat. I'm still trying to work out if she's being rude or polite. My work is farming and conservation based. The countryside is my passion.

Box No: 109242

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

My Message: Hi - my name's Mark: I enjoy wandering around the Herts/Beds/Bucks area (further afield too from time to time), but it can be a bit solitary solo so I'm looking for others of a similar age to share walks with (but definitely not large groups); I walk in most weather. These aren't route marches, and I stop frequently to look at things - wildlife or landscape or simply to just appreciate and soak up the surroundings. They may also involve pub lunches or picnics. Various bits of me creak more than they should, so the walks tend to be limited to between 5 and 10 miles. I'm not super-fit, I just love being with trees, fields etc. My free time is generally during the week.

I'm 59, fairly recently retired, ex aviation industry, married with grown-up offspring. Interests include aviation, history, live music and travelling. I'm happiest near rivers or the coast, not something Bedfordshire's very well-known for!

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

My Message: Based in Bristol. I used to be very fit, walking and cycling every day. However, I'm working from home these days and suddenly piling on the pounds. Help! I would love to get fit again in the company enthusiastic walkers, male or female. I'm interested in making good friends, but am too used to the single life for a relationship. For the purposes of harmonious conversation, I'm an atheist and a bit of a liberal who wobbles with age into grumpiness. I love literature, writing, travel (especially Italy) and the English countryside and England, but NOT in a UKIP way.

I can make my own hours, so am available weekdays as well as weekends.

I am a Male Walker, in my late 60s, based near Norwich.

My Message: Retired 69-going-on-35 male ex teacher with caravan, tent, time and enthusiasm!

Looking to meet up with a compatible walker or two for friendship and shared trips. Currently working on Administrative County Tops (4 to do), Wainwrights (about 20 to do) and Munros (144 done). Also often fly to Mallorca, Madeira, Morocco for a walking break.

Have no commitments or baggage, so can take off for the hills at little or no notice.

Happy to walk solo on the hills, but would prefer company and someone to share the views. Someone also retired would be great. Oh and non-smoker and dog-free!

You don't have to be round East Anglia, I spend a lot of time in other parts of the country with my trusty little caravan, so could be anywhere, really. Do drop me a line...., you never know.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 50s, based near Lyndhurst /Exmoor.

My Message: Hi I am a fairly fit heterosexual lady who would love to find a walking companion. I run a pub in the New Forest which is when I walk daily with my dogs but I spend alot of my time in Exmoor on my days off, where I also walk. I tend to walk much longer walks down there as obviously I have more time. I love taking time out to explore new areas especially Scotland which I have visited a lot but find it a bit lonely on my own all the time. I love staying in my camper in remote places and travelling around discovering new places in the British Isles. I would obviously like to meet the love of my life but to find a likewise person who is bright, loves the countryside, can cope with my dogs and enjoys walking with me would be great. I can walk up to 8 /10 miles easily and love picnics, or a visit to a pub. Anyone that would like to meet for a walk in the New Forest or Exmoor (or anywhere really.. there are so many places to see) please get in touch. I run from my pub a dog walk on the 1st Sunday in the month. Feel free anyone with a mut that would like to come along.

I am a Male Walker, in my early 60s, based near Ellesmere Port.

My Message: Male, 63 looking for anyone to accompany me on walks mainly around N.Wales. Regular weekly walks up Moel Fammau if that's of any interest. Self employed, so reasonably flexible. I'm not the quickest as I've got ms, (not disabled) but will take on virtually anything from a disused railway track to a mountain. Lake District beckons at the end of November, as I'm marshalling on an annual car rally in Grizedale Forest on the Saturday, which usually involves staying over for a mountain walk on the Sunday. Need to get Crib Goch and Tryfan done if anyone has experience please. As an alternative, if anyone has or knows of a dog owner whose pooch isn't getting enough exercise, then I may be willing to have him or her as company instead! Colin

My Message: Hi all... Looking for some walking company male/female in the Glos/Oxford area.
Have always enjoyed the out doors and have taken up walking quite seriously over this past year for health reasons ( diabetic type 2 ). Have done Pemb coast path, not all at once I hasten to add, Peny Fan and bits of the South West coast path, Malvern Hills plus many of the local walks where I live. Would love to do Snowden in the near future but not that experienced with map and compass as yet but practising and improving every time Im out.Using a Garmin GPS when compass work goes T*Ts up ( not got lost yet, thankfully ). I work shifts, working most week ends, the week ends Im off I spend time with my partner, she has no real interest in walking at all. Most of my free time is in the week, 4 complete days off together so plenty of time for walking. Woud be prepared to travel, car share, expenses etc.
I'm 5ft 5ins ( just ) and have a Noir sense of humour, so if you like good food, posh Italian, or just a plain bacon sarnie, good conversation ( I like to put the world right ) art,(Salvador Dali and Georgia O'keeffe particular favs) music ( classical,sacred music, dance & trance ) then Id like your walking company.
