I am a Female Walker, in my late 40s, based near Cannock hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hello. I'm Maria. I moved to Cannock Nov 2019 and it would be great to meet another female that I can go walking with. I live near Cannock Chase which is lovely for walks but would be even better with some female company. Because of Covid, it has been difficult to meet new people and make female friends with the same interests. My level of fitness is fairly good. I walk most days 2.5 miles on my own but I am happy rambling for up to 5 or 6 miles or more. I am friendly, easy going and have a good sense of humour. I'm positive but also a realist. I love animals, nature and music as well as TV and films. I love being outdoors in all weather. I can meet up evenings and weekends as I work 9 to 5 Mon to Fri. I must tell you that I'm not much of an early bird, so if meeting at weekends it would need to be after 10am. I dont drive but happy to get public transport to meet up if its local but I can be flexible. I do have a partner who drives and would be happy to drop me at a meeting point.

A bit more about me:

I can cope with a little bit of scrambling if it is short and there are no steep drops. I'm happy to walk in most weathers but do not like snow and ice. I'm not bothered about dogs one way or the other. To be honest, my map reading & navigation skills are a bit averagely average. I don't drive.

I am also interested in:

• Camping on Campsites - Camping where there is a shop, toilets, showers & possibly a pub;

Important: For the avoidence of doubt I am definitely not looking for anything other than someone to go walking with.

A bit more about me:

When it comes to Scrambling & Edges I'm OK with the occasional edge or scramble but don't go looking for it. I'm happy to walk in all weathers - sunshine, snow, hail, wind & rain - bring it on.

I am also interested in:

• Peak Bagging - where the aim is to climb all the hills or mountains on a particular list such as 'bagging' all the Wainwrights or Munros;
• Long Distance Path Walking - Multi-day walks like The Pennine Way, Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk;

Important: For the avoidence of doubt I am definitely not looking for anything other than someone to go walking with.

When it comes to Scrambling & Edges I'm OK with the occasional edge or scramble but don't go looking for it. I prefer warm, dry & sunny weather but can cope with the odd shower.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 50s, based near Cambridgeshire hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: I live in Cambridgeshire and have a deep love for walking and hiking. The last long distance l did was Glen Affic in Scotland. However, l like short walks as much as long hikes and to enjoy my walk, stopping to take in the scenery and enjoying a good chat or just appreciating the silence together.
My schedule is quite free so l can do a mixture of week days and weekends. I also drive, so travelling is no problem.
By nature l am a bubbly, outgoing person with an introvert side. Looking to make some new female walking buddies. I look forward to hearing from you.

I am a Female Walker, in my late 40s, based near Doncaster hoping to meet just Male new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi, I love the outdoors and recently bought all the kit and caboodle to go wild camping but fear crept in and decided not to go alone just yet.. I'll give most things a go and love trying new things. I'd love to find someone to hike and maybe wild camp. I'd not say no to exploring more urban locations too. We've lost so much time this last year, we have lots to catch up with!

I am a Male Walker, in my late 60s, based near Yarm hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi, I'm Colin, living near Yarm in Teesside. I have always loved walking and the outdoors and am lucky to have so many national parks close and in easy reach.
Now retired, I'm able to pop out to the NY Moors daytime/evenings, weekdays and weekends.
I enjoy extending my walks to the Dales, Lakes and Northumberland, staying in country pubs/hotels.
I've always found walking very therapeutic and need someone to share the outdoors with. Ideally I'd love a like-minded female companion.
I enjoy lively conversation, a good laugh and a nice meal with a glass of wine. I don't smoke, keep myself in decent shape and even go jogging. I love pets and miss my parson russell. Friends call me easy going and good company.
Would be delighted to hear from you.
Bye for now
Colin

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Lake District hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hello!

Currently I'm on a mission to bag all of the Wainwrights. Did a lot of hiking in Europe and participating in races like the Harz Mountains 100km race when I was younger, and a lot fitter! I suppose I'm trying to make up for lost time as there was a time when walking to the pub was a challenge. No longer drink (but will have a 0% beer at the end of a long walk!), Vegan for 10 years. Mainly been doing low level walks in the peak district over the last few years along with Mam Tor, Edale, Kinder Scout etc but now concentrating on Wainwrights. I'm quite happy walking on my own most of the time but it would be good to walk in a group, or with other hikers who had a similar outlook on life. My ultimate aim is to be fitter at 60 than I was at 30!! So if you fancy joining me say hello :)
