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

My Message: Male, 50, (gay if that matters) who goes walking most months with a club, for a day in the Lakes, but other than that and a couple of days during Lakes/Dales holidays get little opportunity. My partner hates walking and my sister and brother in law can't get away often enough (just those two holidays). I have gone walking alone, which is great for thinking time, but views are better shared and having someone to talk to/keep you going is a definite improvement.
Trying to get through the Wainwrights, now on 165. I work a rota system that gives a mix of days free weekday and weekend, with 6 out of 8 weekends free.
I love steady Lakeland walks, with a couple of Wainwright summits (or more!), plus friendly banter over a few real ales in the pub after. I am looking for like minded, Wainwright bagging, company as view admiration is better shared.

I am a Female Walker, in my late 30s, based near Keighley.

My Message: Hiya, I'm planning to walk The Pennine way in sections. I'm walking from Edale to Hawes in April and May as day walks then Hawes to Greenhead in July and the last leg in August to fit in with work and available accommodation. If anyone wants to join me, either for a section or just one day if I'm passing by your area, please get in touch. Aside from that, I'm looking for walking friends, male or female, who want to get out and about locally and possibly further afield. I enjoy walking round The Yorkshire Moors, into The Dales, Forest of Bowland and Pendle. I'm a fairly experienced walker and a good navigator. I'm not into bagging or walking for the sake of it; I like to enjoy the walk and the experience. I enjoy anything from a 4 mile amble to about 14 miles in a day. I've done the Bronte Round (23 miles) over two days and The Bradford Millennium Way (46 miles) over 4 days. I like to finish off a good walk with a visit to a pub or café or a look around the local towns or villages. I quite often have time off in the week but also have some weekends off too. I'm a flexible, easy going person who can talk about a wide range of things. Give me a shout if you'd like to go for a walk!

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

My Message: I live in Essex and later on this year I am doing a charity trek in Vietnam. So at the moment I am trying to get lots of walks in! Typically I walk about 10 miles but it's fairly flat where I live so I'd like to go a bit further afield and it would be good to have some company. I work part-time so sometimes walk on weekdays, sometimes weekends. I walk in Essex, but also like the South Downs as it's a bit more hilly!

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

My Message: Hi there,

Hi i'm Jon aged 34 living in Warrington, Cheshire. I have always had an interest in walking and exploring whether it be through muddy fields, woodlands, along canal towpaths, mountain walking etc. I just love to get out there and explore the great outdoors. It's great to get into the open air away from the busy work schedule.

I can do basic map reading and generally have a good sense of direction.

I would very much like to find new friends who hopefully share these interests and would perhaps like to join me on some walks. I do drive and have my own transport.

It would be great to hear from anyone who may be interested.

Best wishes Jon

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

My Message: Hi, I used to do a lot of walking (Cairngorms etc. ) in my youth so keen to 'gradually' get back into some more serious stuff.

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

My Message: Hi, I'm 52, female, and looking for people to walk with at weekends and evenings in the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire area - local to home would be ideal. I'm hoping to get in touch with the more leisurely walker/s who enjoy the summer sunshine, fresh air and gentle walks to take in the views and enjoy company in their spare time. I'm no longer a moor walker in all weathers, although I do enjoy walks between 4 and 10 miles with pleasant refreshment stops and I don't mind a drop of rain. I work during the week and would be available on a couple of evenings generally during the week and free to walk on either Saturdays or Sundays at weekends. If you are interested in meeting up please get in touch, I look forward to hearing from you.

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

My Message: Hi, I'm Ellen and I would like to meet a like minded male who is as interested in the outdoors as me. I work in a school and have the school holidays off so would like to make the most of them.
I have just got back from the Peak District, which was so lovely but didn't do any quality walking as I was with my sister and Mum. Their idea of a nice walk is to potter about the shops and walk on tarmac! Not my idea of a good walk.
I love new adventures and experiences, I have white water rafted which I would do again, my bike is looking very sad in my garage as I haven't been out on it in a while, but mainly I can't wait to meet a like minded person who likes nothing more than walking in amazing scenery and experiencing the great outdoors.

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

My Message: Hi My name is Alan and i'm looking for walking buddies in the Wiltshire area initially as this is where i live but i also have contacts with the New Forest. I am enthusiastic though so i'm sure this will expand in no time and often my work can take me various locations. I have done quiet a few walks along the ridgeway both day and night and often like to take photos but nothing too excessive that it ruins the vibe of the walk. Weekends are more tricky as i have a wife and family who i prefer to spend my time with however i'm a freelancer so weekdays can be flexible and often when i like to walk but my preference is to do this with people. i live in Calne and look forward to hooking up with anyone in the area soon.

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Faringdon Oxon.

My Message: Hi, I’m Steve, 55, 5’ 6” tall, average build, but not as fit as I think I am! I’m looking for a female walking companion to share big & small adventures in the great outdoors. I have the Ridgeway and Cotswolds close by but prefer the high places like the Lake District, Snowdonia and the Brecons and head for them when time and funds allow. I also enjoy coastal walks or mooching around a town. I love camping and am looking to trying wild camping this year as I’m a keen photographer wanting to capture mountain sunrises and sunsets. Not averse to the odd B&B or hotel now and again though. I work office hours so am usually free at weekends, and summer evenings locally. I think I’m a reasonable navigator (thank you GPS!). And it’s always nice to go for a drink and chat at the end of the day. I’m not really into route marches but like to stop to admire the view and take photos. Happy to walk in all weathers. Happy in my own company but it would be great to have a like-minded soul along for the journey.

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

My Message: Hi,

hoping to find some like minded walkers/hikers/campers to turn solo walking into a group or pair activity.

I've recently moved to Bath and work a demanding and physical job, so enjoy weekends 'getting away from it all' and with a challenge.

As I'm new to the area, having some company would also be great.

I'm fit, active and reasonably experienced hill walker, both in UK and abroad. I'm not a technical climber but enjoy a scamble and steep inclines. Happy to travel and undertake treks and multiday walks.

If interested, please drop me a line....

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

My Message: Hello, I’m Sandi, fit and 59, no partner and in a full-time job but with weekends free. Done good distances all round Europe and Africa and back home I walk, run or cycle 4 and a half miles to and from work most days but really like to stretch my legs a good 12 – 16 miles at the weekends when possible dependent on the season and daylight. Moonwalks and Marathon walks also done and still on the list and I would really like to meet up with anyone wanting to share company and make new friends and am happy to travel or make a weekend of it somewhere. I’d love to notch up some of the UK national trails (Still trying to get to section 6 of the Ridgeway) and my great wish is to be able to complete the South West coast trail! Just love being outdoors and happy to pub or picnic. Currently looking for someone to do the South Downs way all in one with me over a week in August.... Any takers?
