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

My Message: From the Wirral, looking for some (preferably female) company for days out. Most Sundays are good. May also be interested in teaming up for longer walking holidays anywhere in the UK. I enjoy climbing a peak from time to time, but shorter walks are good too. I love coast, forest, mountain, places I've never seen, anywhere away from the roar of traffic and the hum of urban life.

I am a Female Walker, in my late 40s, based near Port Talbot.

My Message: Wow so many questions! I have just discovered this website and it seems pretty genuine, I've not registered for romance, I have registered for a walking buddy, who is good company and happy to get out there, I'm 48, happy to attempt any area for walking but I am full time, single mum, teach amazing teenagers at Sunday school so time is pretty limited - mainly to a Saturday ;)
My previous walking experience includes Snowdon, Skarfel, Pen Y Fan, Kili and I thank my beautiful grandad that he used to take me for amazing walks as a kid - anyway if there is anybody who fancies helping encourage me train for Toubkal please drop me a post! Have a great week!

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 30s, based near Hayle.

My Message: Hello, I've recently moved to West Cornwall from London and looking forward to exploring new areas of the South West (Cornwall primarily but also Devon and Somerset). My favourite type of walks are coastal, but I also enjoy the contrast of deeper countryside and moors. Stopping off for a quick visit to the pub or cup of tea is never a bad thing, in my opinion!

I am a Male Walker, in my late 30s, based near Chulmleigh.

My Message: Hi, I'm James from North Devon. Walking has really helped me to recover my strength and stamina after a long period of illness. Dartmoor is right on my doorstep and I have been making a determined effort this year to get to know it better. Wild camping on the moor has a deeply therapeutic effect on me - underlining the importance of keeping things simple and in balance.

I usually walk alone, my friends are usually busy, and I think some company would be nice. Dartmoor is a wonderful playground that I would never tire of but I am happy to try anywhere in the UK that I can reach by train. I have a spare tent that I can lend out if you are not sure whether camping is your thing but would like to give it a go without spending lots of money. Looking forward to hearing from you.

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

My Message: Hi 52. Looking initially to do some of the national trails - ideally 3 - over the summer of this year (2014). Open to other suggestions, but the plan is Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast, then Cotswolds and finally either the Hadrian's Wall walk, or Pembrokeshire Coast Path.

A lot of history - but that is the problem - it is history! So fitness has slid away, and I am looking to put that right as gently as possible. Add in a splash of photography for my own travelogue, and basically you have it. Gentle walks over some distance (anticipating camping as a default) with frequent photo stops.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 50s, based near Tucson, Az Usa.

My Message: Hello Walkers (female & male)

I'm a desert-dwelling American hoping to arrange some walks for a holiday upcoming this summer. My dates are 27 June until 13 July. The only date I'm unavailable to walk is 3 July, when I have a London meeting.

Though I have some interest in Hadrian's Wall, I am open to walking in any part of the UK to which I can take public transport or hitch a ride, and where a good pint is never far off. I'm keen to find good company and lots of 'exotic' (non-arid!) scenery.

So, if you're looking for a walking buddy, or care to be a tour-guide for a visitor, please drop me a line!

Best,

Leigh

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

My Message: Hi, basically I'm looking for mainly male walking buddies for reasonably easy to moderate walks of up to about 5 or 6 miles to start with and hopefully improve on that as time goes by.

I'm available most weekdays and weekends but I do have some time restrictions early mornings and late afternoons.

I must stipulate that I will not meet anyone who smokes and as I'm quite tall I would like to walk with someone who is 6' or over

Hope to hear from you soon

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 30s, based near Shrewsbury.

My Message: Hello everyone, I have recently moved into the Shropshire area and looking to get more active with walks and hikes. I have seen and been on a few walks but would like some company to while away the hours chatting while burning up the miles. I am quite new to it all so will probably need some time to get my fitness levels up, but I am willing to put in the hours at the weekend and some evenings depending where I am with work.

Thank you for reading hope to hear back from people.

My Message:
Hi, I'm Ruth and have just joined this site. I've been walking on my own for a few years now but getting fed up with my own company and would prefer to share the walks, the views and the weather (good and bad) with someone.
I'm a steady away kinda gal (that's Yorkshire speak for slow!) but happily do 20 miles a day on a weekend in the Dales or Peak District. Alternatively weekends away further afield in the Lakes, Snowdonia or Scotland are my preferred areas.
Happy with either a buttie break on the hillside or pub grub afterwards but always like to finish with a drop of liquid refreshment.

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Northallerton.

My Message: Hello. I am a recently retired fit and active 64 year old single female who has every intention of walking as much of our own country as possible and for as long as I am fit and able to do so. All my friends are still working (poor things) and I would much rather walk with a friend (male or female) than on my own. I live about 40 minutes north of York and have a car so a reasonable travelling distance is not a problem and as work is no longer a consideration – any day is fine.
I love any distance of walk but am probably happiest between 8 and 12 miles with time to stop and enjoy the beauty of the countryside, am quite happy to walk whatever the weather (almost!) – and if there happens to be a teashop on the journey…. Well I admit I take some dragging past it!
Would welcome replies from any age and either sex but please don’t ask me to go camping…. Where on earth would I plug in the hairdryer???

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Flemington Victoria Australia.

My Message: I am coming to the UK from Australia during the first two weeks of June and hoping to do some easy walks in the Peaks District National Park. I really enjoy walking and have done many bush-walks in the past but I'm not as fit as I used to be so I'm looking for a walking companion/s in a similar situation or a more advanced walker who is happy to to go on grade one walks. I've heard how beautiful it is in that area but I don't know it at all so I'm hoping to find a companion/s who may know a bit about the Peaks District or who would like to discover it with another new-comer.

I am a Male Walker, in my late 40s, based near Los Angeles, Ca..

My Message: I'm coming to the UK in April (last two weeks probably) to do a bit of sight seeing, and I'm an avid hiking. I would really like to meet some friends to do some interesting hikes with. I'd love to do some hikes along Hadrian's Wall, any hikes with some historical connections would be a dream. I'm very fit and experienced, so there is not a hike I won't do! Thank you very much for reading my post! Cheers, Will

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

My Message: I'm a novice intending to get into more walking this year. I relish fresh air and country or coastal views, but it would be so much more encouraging, and fun, to share the experience with an interesting male walker and enjoy pleasant conversation, maybe incorporating a visit to a historical site or area of natural interest. I'm a professional artist and take inspiration from the coast and from quaint or unusual architecture. I like to take photos now and then whilst walking. I can walk weekdays or weekends, depending on my varied work schedule, and I'm a car owner. I enjoy looking at maps, and I CAN read them - but I wouldn't rely on it!
