My Message: Hi, I am a 45 year old Male living in Ross-On-Wye looking for a walking friend.

I walk most weekends in the Brecon Beacons/Black Mountains and make several trips a year to the Lake District or North Wales for weekends away. I walk between 5 - 12 miles usually and would like a friend to accompany me and show me new walks. I like a beer and pub meals and good company.

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

My Message: Looking for a keen, reliable walking companion for regular walks. Mostly at weekends but also occasionaly during the week if work commitments allow. I'm a true lover of nature and the outdoors in general so if you fancy a walk with someone a little crazy, but with a deep respect for the countryside then do get in touch. I enjoy stopping to take photos (good excuse for a breather!) and soak up the peacefulness. It's also good to visit a pub or cafe at the end of the walk.

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

My Message: Hi, I am a woman with a fun sense of humour.
I love to walk with friends or on a one to one walk, with good company especially in the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and Peak District. The thrill of getting to the summit is just something else! The pub at the end is cool too!.
I am happy clocking up Wainrights, however I can enjoy less energenic walks, with good company and with plenty of laughs along the way.
If this is your thing too.... great, just reply.

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

My Message: Hi I'm Carole and based in East Yorkshire. I'm looking at getting a group together for walking in Britain and abroad. Looking for like minded people who love to walk and have a bit of an adventure. I've walked most of the highest hills here and covered many of the long distance paths. I’m separated so looking at new things in life to achieve. Nothing is better to end the day after a long walk at the pub for a well deserved drink. I love good conversation and have a gosh. Look forward to hearing back from anyone who is interested in forming a group.

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

My Message: Hi,

I have recently moved to Dundee and am keen to make the most of opportunities to get out and find out more about the area. I have done a lot of hill walking in the past but not much recently so not very confident about navigation and hill walking by myself. I walk a lot by the coast in Angus and north Fife but would like to venture into the Angus glens and Sidlaws. I have a dog so would like to meet dog friendly walking companions, we are used to walking 4-5 hours at the weekend.

Thanks Maria

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

My Message: Hi... Carole here. I live about 10 miles from Keswick and have done for the last 17yrs. Its always the way, isn't it, when you live next to something you hardly ever use it!
But that's about to change. Starting to build up my fitness (nothing over a grade 4 so far). Love to be out on my own with the dog... but would be nice to have company now and again, particularly for any trickier routes... not too confident in my way-finding skills as yet.
And the pint at the pub after is always better shared... :-)

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

My Message: Hi,
I live in the Bristol area and I'm looking for some walking companions. Being so close to South Wales I've walked alot in the Brecon Beacons, I love the area particulalry the peaks nr Glyn Tawe (Fan Brycheiniog etc) If I could move up there I'd go tomorrow! I also enjoy walking in North Wales - I'd like to go back and walk some more of the Carneddau. I'm also interested in doing a winter mountainerring course this year, and it would be great to find a few others to do it with and perhaps practice some of the skills learnt afterwards. I'm into outdoor swimming, so the Lake District also really appeals to me - I've been up there twice, but there's so much more to explore.

I have a 7 year old daughter who is a fantastic walker for her age (shes walked alot of the Brecon Beacons and the main tops of Snowdonia) She stays with her Dad on Sundays so I am free to walk on Sundays and the occasional weekend away. Would also be good to meet other families with children who like walking as all my daughters friends are more into playing on play stations etc! When I am walking with my daughter we also endulge in a bit of geocaching to her spur her along..

I don't drive, but willing to pay our way in terms of petrol/bridge fees and can get to newport etc by train at the weekends. Hope to hear from someone soon!

Ps I havent investigated the walk grades yet, so I've ticked them all not knowing what they mean! I up to walking up to 15 miles per day (at a push!) and not adverse to the odd scramble. I have a healthy fear of heights so I'm not massivly keen on the really exposed stuff.

Hoping to re-new a love of walking which started 20 years ago in the Lake District. I have enjoyed some Fell walking, river valley walks, coastal and woodland walks. Love our own green and pleasant land, but would also like to explore further afield. Still working full time, hence the need to get out into the fresh air, away from the stresses of a busy job.

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

My Message: Hello I'm Joanne and I enjoy all types of walking, from casual local walking to the more serious mountain walking and scrambling. Have walked with mountaineering clubs and friends with walks that range from 3/4 hours in the Peaks to mountain walks in North Wales, Lake District and Scotland. Have manged Anach Eagach Ridge on a clear day scrambling over the pinnacles and would like to develop my scrambling further. Am keen to meet people who are local to my area for day walks as well as join up with some weekend mountain walking guys and girls.

I am a Male Walker, in my early 30s, based near London.

My Message: Hi. I've been to the Lake District for holidays 5 or so times over the years and whilst I'd never really kept track of exactly where I went previously, I'm keen to bag a few more peaks in the Lake District.

I've done the National Three Peaks before, although I'd have to say I'm probably better with endurance than speed!

Would be interested to hear from anyone that might like to join me in the Lakes for a walk (or several walks!) Hopefully finish off a walk with a pleasant pint of good ale.

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

My Message: HiI, i am 46, easy going and love adventure and nature, i am equally happy to take a short walk as i am to go up a mountain or go scrambling although I have to admit to not getting up one for the last couple of years for various reasons. I am happy to do local walks but also venture further affield, I love to finish off a good walk with a nice local pub, and also happy to camp on further afield trips. Enjoy cycling and golf also but i have friends who are happy to do these with me, however they do think that walking is something you do when the car has broken down hence the message. Anyone fancying a good walk with hopefully some good conversation and a good laugh then please drop me a line

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

My Message: Hiya... I’m Jon…

I'm an easy-going, well-travelled guy who has in the course of the last year rediscovered my love of walking/hiking in our great outdoors. It's also been great to regain some fitness that had begun to wane over time.

Currently I tend to look for mid-level walks as I build up my stamina - and try to not stop for as many breathers on those pesky uphill sections :p
My normal walking companion has been an Energizer-powered Lab :) but it would be great to also have a female hike buddy to talk to, lean on and share good days out with.

In terms of myself, somehow I seem to have ended up in my mid-30's over the last few years, but would be very comfortable with anyone from their mid-20's to early 40's.
I am based in Teesdale in Co. Durham so it gives me great access to quite a few areas and I have no problems jumping in the car for an hour to get to a great walk.
I tend to go out on Mondays and/or Tuesdays due to my slightly weird shift pattern - although of course holiday weeks give me more flexibility.

If you would like to know anything else just drop me a line and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

Jon

I am a Male Walker, in my early 60s, based near Portree, Isle Of Skye.

My Message: Hi,
I live near Portree in the Isle of Skye, but have no-one to walk with. It's usually because all my friends are working when I want to get out and about. I just don't do enough walking, and finding someone to go with would give me the incentive to get out more and enjoy the countryside and the fresh air.

My Message: Hi
My name is Bill and I am 51. I am new to walking and keep getting lost. I do have a compass but for some reason it always points to the nearest pub - perhaps it's broke. Therefore, I am looking for someone who can actually read a map or, failing that, who also likes getting lost.
If you need a walking companion with absolutely no sense of direction, I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks
Bill

My Message: Hello, I am female, 53, keen to develop a walking habit and widen my circle of like-minded friends. No ties, I'm free most weekends and occasionally a weekday. It would be great to share some walks. I'm hoping a walking partner will encourage me to get out in the fresh air more than I do at the moment. I currently do swimming and yoga. I'm happy to explore more of my county, I live on the Northumberland coastline, and further afield - there's so much beautiful countryside to appreciate in the neighbouring counties, and some good pubs too!
Please do get in touch if you have the time and the inclination. Hilary
