My Message: Hi, young at heart male based on the North Wales coast is looking to meet a female walking partner to explore our great outdoors. I often walk in the Snowdonia area as it is close to me. I have also walked in the Lake District, Peak District,Scotland and Dolomites (Via Ferratas). I have only listed a few areas on my profile but am open to suggestions elsewhere.

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

My Message: Hi My name's Angie and I'm looking for a male to accompany me on my walks. I'm fairly fit, hoping to do some good long distance walks and looking for someone to introduce me to the excitement of hillwalking and getting off the beaten track - I don't really have navigation skills yet but am keen to learn. I love Snowdonia and the majesty of the mountains but quite happy to explore anywhere and everywhere off the beaten track. I enjoy a hard day's walking but am equally happy to stop and enjoy the view while taking a well earned breather. I love company and am keen to share my enjoyment of walking and the outdoors with a likeminded male so we can both gain more from our shared experiences. A nice meal and a bevvy at the end - who can ask for more!!

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

My Message: I live on my own in Tunbridge Wells and would be up for meeting with someone for an occasional, maybe regular, walk + lunch and a drink,in Kent,Sussex, or Surrey. I have always enjoyed walking and know the area reasonably well but it would be good to meet some new people to explore different places or maybe revisit favourite places with different company. I work in London 3 days a week, so can often walk one day during the week or on a Saturday. Unfortunately Sundays are not easy for me at the moment since I am generally busy with my 15 year old daughter :-)

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

My Message: I've always enjoyed coastal walking and love the sea. I know and love the Dorset coast. It's beautiful at any time of the year. Although I've put mainly the South-West as my areas of interest for walking, I'd love to go further afield if I had company to walk with - singles or couples - I don't mind which. I work full-time but can arrange to walk at weekends or school holidays. I'm happy to try something a bit challenging rather than a gentle stroll and I'm handy with a map and compass. I've done a bit of orienteering in the past. Do get in touch if you might be interested :)

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

My Message: Hi all.. New to the site and looking to arrange regular walks at weekends and potentially walking holidays etc I have not been walking for a while, used to wander around the cairngorms as a youth but since moving to england I havent really had the time until now to do much. Im raring to go now though and need to get a few walks organised to ease myself back in gently. Not looking for anything too taxing to start with but hope to build up to do something more adventurous in due course

Forest walking has always been my favourite and am looking forward to exploring the options for that down here.. I am more than happy to travel anywhere really and to try any kind of walking in any environment.

My main reason for getting into walking is to get back to a good level of fitness, allied to that of course I love being in the outdoors and meeting new people.. hence the reason for joining up here

I would consider myself to be fun and spontaneous with a desire to explore and go on little adventures.. come and say hello and hopefully we can organise something

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

My Message: Hi, I'm Gareth 42 based in the West Midlands and thought I'd put myself out there as love to get out in the fresh air and am looking for males/females who'd like to join me as it would be better than sitting here or going out yomping by myself! I'm fairly fit and would like to improve this through some regular outdoor activity. Map reading skills are a bit rusty but sure they will improve over time too.


As a teacher I do have some weekends free and of course have long breaks in between terms (anyone free this half term/this week?) and over the summer.


I also have transport and a small split level campervan if you fancy stopping out for a night or two.


As to locations then I do love Wales/coast but happy to go a bit further afield and would like to take on a bigger challenge (3 Peaks, C2C etc. ?) in the summer as have the time to plan/organise something.


Oh and if your into getting into a bit of rubber(!) then I go windsurfing and would also like to try my hand at surfing if/whilst on the coast - though not essential.


So if this sounds good then drop me a line... would love to hear from you :)

I am a Male Walker, in my early 30s, based near Stoke-on-trent.

My Message: Hi there, Well I am a bit new to this so here goes! I have always loved the outdoors and with my current job am out in all conditions and away from home for periods of time. I would like to meet up with anyone from near to the west midlands of a similar age to explore all types of walking routes in the area and further afield. I am reasonable fit for my age and trying to get fitter and more healthy, so hope maybe getting out walking could kill two birds with one stone and meet people and get fit!

I would like to do challanges liek the three peaks in the future but must get out and about first! I did do snowdon a few years ago but would not mind doing it again maybe a different way as it was really foggy when we went up!!

My Message: Hi, I am an walker mainly in surrey/hants (based in SW Surrey), but i love the Lake Disrict where my son lives as well. I am retired so able to walk most days. I am recovering from surgery two plus years ago so would like to do more limited walks at first. I know the HIndhead/Devils Punch Bowl area fairly well, as well as the Hampshire downs and coast. I am a keen nature lover (plants and birds) so like to stop and admire! Also like tea etc after the walk! I would prefer a female companion.

I am a Male Walker, in my late 40s, based near Blackpool.

My Message: Hi, I am a cheerful, happy go lucky, adventurous guy who has always had a facination for the outdoors-walking, camping, caving etc and a love of travel. I am planning to walk some long distance paths such as the Lancashire Coastal Way, Ribble Way or discuss any path you are interested in. I intend to video the walk and it would be fantastic to meet someone who would enjoy sharing the challenge. Probably do the walk in stages over a period of time. I am happy to begin with easy sections of about 5 miles enjoying the walk, increasing the distance as we get fitter. I am free most days and look forward to hearing from anyone who would like to join me in planning and doing some great walks. I am open to any other ideas and love country pubs.

I retired this time last year and moved at the same time. I belong(ed) to an after work walking group based near Reigate where I used to live.
Would very much like to carry on walking but daytime and/or weekends, in and around this new area of Edenbridge. My main objective is to keep fit without resorting to exercise classes because I love being outdoors in the beautiful countryside. Am quite young at heart and would hope to make new friends this way. Time in a country pub at the end would be a pleasant extra to some good 'me' time! My name is Philippa.

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

My Message: Hi, been walking fairly regularly for last year and looking for a people to go walking with (wife has subtalar fusion on ankle preventing long/uneven walks) and are interested in sharing the great outdoors, fresh air, having a chat and a laugh with.

I'm highly motivated and have a small group of people I go out with normally but as availability can sometimes be an issue it's always good to keep your horizons broadened and anyone is welcome on our tour as it's pretty socialist and democratic.

I can travel to just about anywhere if it's planned in advance but mainly stick to walks in south wales or neighbouring english counties, and also scotland when I go back there which is fairly regular and am fairly good with navigation and have transport.

If there are any questions - feel free to ask, I am open and honest, bordering on blunt at times.

Enjoy.

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 50s, based near New Brighton, Merseyside.

My Message: hi, my name is Phil. I have been a walker, mountain climber and rock climber for most of my life, and spent more than 25 years in the foothills of the German Alps. I returned to the UK a few years ago, moving to Wirral, where I hoped to have good access to some of the best walking in the country. Unfortunately, I lost most of my sight a couple of years ago, and am now unable to travel or undertake walks away from my home turf independently. I would love to get out into the hills again, and recently spent a few days in the Dales, where I at least proved to myself that I can still walk independently over rough terrain, albeit a little slower than formerly. Locally, I walk over the beaches and dunes for a couple of hours every day with my boisterous, but lovable collie-cross, who would also love to be out in sheep country (on the leash, of course).

If anyone fancies seeing whether we can walk together, do get in touch.
