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

My Message: Hi, my name is Sharon and I live in North Lincolnshire. It's been a while since I did much walking and as a result I'm not as fit as I used to be. I am looking for companions for weekend day walking (and perhaps an evening walk in the week if someone lived locally enough); preferably someone who would be happy to take things at my pace initially. I have walked on my own but I get pleasure from sharing the experience and it is not the same without a companion. I enjoy a pint and pub meal as reward at the end too :)

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

My Message: Hello, I'm looking for single female walking partner / companion / buddy (whatever you want to call it) who is as fed up with their own company as I am with mine. Ideal candidate(s) someone with eclectic tastes in just about everything, easy-going, open-minded, non-judgemental for walks in the Cotswolds and other nearby areas also. Currently not working so available for both weekend and weekday walking - day walks 8 -12 miles - varying degrees of difficulty. I am an asthmatic so sometimes have to engage low gear for steeper climbs but otherwise don't have any problems and can manage most types of terrain!

I am a Female Walker, in my late 20s, based near Darlington.

My Message: Hi, basically like to get out and about on the weekend, especially as we're getting into the hopefully nice warm summer! but current friends take some persuading to go for a walk. So would be nice to meet new friends that are also interested on going for a decent walk. I'm based in Darlington, so would be good to meet people in similar sort of area. Not got much experience on long walks but willing to give it a go, and got a dog who would definitely enjoy the exercise. Looking forward to hearing from you.

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

My Message: Hi :)
I'm Karen a fairly fit 48 year old woman and her dog Kizzy a whippet (we come as a pair). So if you don't like dogs then please don't contact me. We walk every day of the week by ourselves :( and would love to meet other people to walk with for some good conversation and perhaps a stop off at a local pub :) We don't walk miles and miles but anything up to about five would be good for us. I know quite alot of good local walks (Exeter area) which I could share with you and would also be prepared to travel within a twenty mile radius to enjoy some good new ones. If you are interested and don't want to go on a ten mile hike as yet then please feel free to contact me. I'll look forward to meeting you :)

My Message: Hi. I'm Ruth and I am seeking likeminded individuals to go out for a walk or a run or a bike ride. I have two dogs, one little and one large. I am reasonably fit as I like to be out cross country running or just chopping wood. I have walked the walks around where I live and I am looking to explore further afield. I like to do a bit of orienteering however that has ben put on the backburner for a bit. I would like to meet someone to go out for a walk with or without the dogs and to explore the countryside.

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

My Message: I am going to the Brecon Beacons for at least 3 days this Easter, based at Brecon youth hostel. I'm fit and active and normally walk quite energetically but can adapt to match most paces.

I also have the chance to do a walking trip anywhere else but within the first two weeks of April only. (After that my family return from their holiday abroad and I won't have the chance to go away properly.)

If you are interested in joining me for any walking trip during either period then please get in touch.

Box No: 102444

I am a Female Walker, in my early 60s, based near Bath.

My Message: I have been a keen walker for the last 10 years but (as we have got older) my walking companions have begun to fall by the wayside whereas I'm still raring to go! I have considered joining the Ramblers but I'd rather not walk in a large group. Also having exhausted most of the walks in the Bath area, Wiltshire and Dorset I would like to start walking further afield and have got my eye on some of the long distance trails ----- I prefer walking from place to place rather than circular walks but I will do both! Although I am slow uphill, I can cover 8 to 14 miles a day especially if there is a meal and a glass of wine to look forward to at the end. The other thing I enjoy is map reading and it gives me great satisfaction when I have negotiated a route successfully.
So, I am looking for a walking companion who would like to do any of the above either during the week or at weekends.

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

My Message: I'm glued behind a desk all week and by Thursday the walls are closing in on me - thank heavens Sunday always comes.. !

I have walked with groups but I'm not in control of the day - and I don't like to dash from A to B so I mainly walk alone, which I'm happy to do BUT I would prefer to go with a pal who can laugh at mad cows, swat a mozzie off my shoulder, share comments on lovely views and who doesn't mind me pinching a chip off their plate when we stop for a pub lunch.. !

Where I walk depends on my mood; Peaks/North Wales for dramantic, Cotswolds for pretty.
I have no problem travelling and am happy to share my last Rollo on the way home....

If you'd like to know more, my name's David....

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Haywards Heath.

My Message: Hello, I'm planning to walk the Coast to Coast route over 2 weeks starting from St Bees sometime between May 9-12. If you are interested in joining me to do part or all of this walk, please get in touch and I look forward to hearing from you.


I'm a keen Long Distance Path walker interested in walking more of the UK's LDP's with anybody keen to join me to walk as a pair, either for single days or longer sections. Prefer one to one interaction rather than being in a group, equally able to provide stimulating conversation or remain silent as and when appropriate, like to cover some reasonable ground, but not at the expense of taking in the scenery and enjoying the time and space walking gives you to think, as well as the euphoria of a well earned drink and meal at the end of the day.

I have walked Hadrian's Wall Path, the Camino Frances route of the Camino Santiago from St Jean to Santiago and Finisterre/Muxia, and the Annapurna Base Camp trek in Nepal. I live local to the South Downs Way and am keen to complete the western half of this from Amberley to Winchester, either in one day or longer sections and at anytime forward.

Intending to walk the C2C path (St. Bees-Scarborough) and the West Highland Way/Ben Nevis/Great Glen Way (Glasgow-Fort William-Inverness) next Spring (April/May/June 2013) and keen to hear from anybody interested in these two routes, or indeed any other walks you are interested in doing and would like a walking partner; happy to travel anywhere in UK by car or train.

Look forward to hearing from you, John
