I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Crewe, Cheshire.

My Message: Hi,
I used to be a keen walker but seemed to have fallen off the beaten track for a while. With a bit more spare time (weekends) it would be good to get back into it again. I'm happy on any type of walk, whether it be the local Peckforton Hills, the Peak district, Wales or the Lakes and I'm ok with a map and compass. If you would like a bit of company while out on a walk, it would be good to hear from you.

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

My Message: I love walking in the Cumbrian Mountains, the Yorkshire Dales and North Yorkshire Moors but, unfortunately, have nowhere near enough opportunities to get away and do so during term time. You may now have figured out that I am a teacher! I run the Duke of Edinburgh's Gold Award scheme for my school and I am a qualified ML(S). I am happy to walk solo but it's much more fun to walk with a companion. Most of my colleagues run a mile when I suggest a walk or a night's wild camping. So if any one is out there who might like to get together for a day out on fells or Dales; maybe even two, please get in touch. Tom

I am a Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Kendal.

My Message: Hello I am John and have recently moved into the south lakes area. I am looking for a walking companion male / female to join me on walks grade 3-4-5-6-7.
I am recently retired and enjoy walking, sailing, basically anything which gets me outside into this wonderful area. I enjoy both hill walks and occasionally walking along a river or around a lake.
I have a well behaved rescued blue roan cocker spaniel who also enjoys a good walk so another dog would not be a problem.
At the end of a walk there is nothing better than a drink and maybe a pub lunch.
look forward to hearing from any like minded person.

John

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

My Message: Hi, I've lived round here for a few years now but am yet to find some like minded walking buddies who are not tied up with small children and the likes. I would really love to get out there into the great outdoors on some proper walks. I do lots of little dog walking ones locally but I'd really love to get over to North Wales for example or the Lakes or anywhere I can really escape from Nantwich. It seems such a waste to have all that on my doorstep and not make use of it!! So I'm hoping to find some like-minded people or a walking group I can go with so please do get in touch if your interested and not too far away.

My Message: Looking for a hiking partner this weekend. Snowdonia.tryfan and glyders. Routes all planned. Early start Saturday back Monday. Or join me for a day. Been let down by friends.not superfit so leisurely pace.

I don't take it too seriously but love a challenge and s drink or three at the end of the day. Think I'm a normal non weird or axe murderer type. Similar traits appreciated. Don't care age Just want to have a laugh keep fit and enjoy the outdoors with some good company.

I am a Walker, in my early 70s, based near London.

My Message: I live in North London. I enjoy day walks in the Home Counties with a walking club I've belonged to for some years. I am interested in going further afield with another walker (m or f) for more than day hikes, perhaps revisiting some of the English national trails I walked in past decades. I don't rule out Wales or Scotland where I also know some areas. I like classical music, pub conversation, reading, crossword solving, planning and leading walks. For much of my life I have been involved in local politics but ready to give these a miss in my retirement. I am divorced with one grown-up daughter who lives with me.

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near South Lakes, Cumbria.

My Message: Hi, I am a straight single female looking for walking companions/buddies Female and Male, in their 30's/40's /50's -hopefully forming good friendships, and walking buddies, to have a good laugh and chat along the way. I act and look much younger than my years. I don't take life too seriously and have a very good sense of humour. I love nature/wildlife, photography, and to end the walk at a tearoom or pub.
My preferred area is the Lake District (as I live in the Lakes), and Yorkshire Dales, but I 'am open to walking other areas such as Snowdonia, Scotland, etc.
I am a fit and active person, always up for adventure, who enjoys walking the high Lake District Fells, including some scrambling, but I also enjoy walking the valleys or along the lakeshores.
I have recently taken up to indoor climbing too.
I love Scotland and have been to the Trossachs and the Isle of Skye and trekked some of the Cuillins and the Quiraing which gave me a taste to trek more Munro's.
I have completed all 214 Wainwrights and The Pennine Way.
I like to take in the scenery and photographs along my walks, not frogmarch straight to the top! I don't mind any length of walk, but on average a good walk of 8-15 miles or even more is fab!
I hope to hear from you.
Ps- Border Collies are my favourite breed of dog!

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

My Message: What a great site to find, not as much as any hill or mountain top though. I'm a frequent walker, occasionally getting myself out of my comfort zone and pushing myself that bit more. I guess you'd say I'm developing my navigation skills, occasionally using technology to help out. That said, I am comfortable using a map and compass and yet to get myself in any bother on the hills.
It would be nice to find someone willing to venture out onto the hills/mountains of our fantastic country. There's still so much to discover.
I have transport and able to camp rough, well in a campervan if that counts!

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

My Message: Hi there, I'm looking to meet new people interested in walking (funnily enough!), companionship and chatting - I'm a good listener ;). The last 3 years I have been winter hiking and climbing in the mountains around Glencoe learning navigation and avalanche skills, and the conditions were at times quite fierce! However, I now have a taste for some hiking outside of bleak winter conditions. With this in mind, whilst I do enjoy a tough challenging hike in the mountains, I do also appreciate the beauty of nature and can enjoy a much more gentle day in the hills with good company and an associated pub lunch! It would be great to meet someone who's been walking for a while since they would know all the good walks! I'm not a peak bagger (not sure if that's the correct expression!) but am not averse to trying any peaks that come across my path. I'm generally pretty fit because in addition to hiking I like to run, cycle, and swim, leading an active and outdoor-orientated lifestyle. I have my own transport and am happy to travel some distance to find a decent walk in the hills or mountains (I live in Essex so there aren't that many around!). I am free mainly at weekends but can do weekdays if I have enough notice and there is enough to entice me along as I would need to book time off work. Please drop me line if interested or you'd like more info. Look forward to hearing from you... Andy.

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

My Message: Whether a gentle stroll or a challenging trekking holiday, I'm always keen to pull on my walking boots and head off to places best seen on foot. I discovered the joys of walking whilst training for the London Moonwalk in 2007, and since then I've covered many miles in the UK, including Hadrian's Wall and climbing Snowdon, Ben Nevis and Scafell (although not all in one day) I've also spent a week walking in the beautiful french Pyrenees and completed two trekking holidays - in Kerala and to Everest Base Camp, both incredible experiences, and I'd love to do more e. g. Machu Picchu.
My other passion is skiing, and I've recently returned to the UK having taken a short career break to work in the french Alps last winter (the oldest chalet maid in town!) Now back behind a desk full time - suffering 'cabin fever' - I'm keen to get out walking as much as possible at weekends, please get in touch if you'd like to join me.

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

My Message: Hi there, I'm a 44 year old male living in Oxfordshire, who loves to spend occasional days/weekends walking the South West Coast Path and Pembrokeshire Coast Path. I'm also partial to walks in the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons, and would love to get to know mid-Wales better. I'm also keen to explore Exmoor and Dartmoor. I spent my younger years bagging the Munros, and still love the occasional visit north of the Border, as well as walking in the Swiss Alps a couple of times a year. Am looking for a female who has a similar interest in these areas and would like to join me on trips. I have my own transport and would be happy to provide lifts as necessary. Mark

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

My Message: Hello
I live in north of Bristol and go walking with friends in the areas I've ticked, but would like to meet some new people to enjoy walking with at weekends. Anything from 6 to 12 miles is good for me. I like footpaths rather than lanes and anywhere that has amazing views and archaeology to explore.
I can drive or happy to take public transport to get to a circular walk route.
Think I'm OK company, happy to chat along the way with other walkers. Most of all love the here and now of being out there (a pint along the way goes down well too!)

I'm Dave and a relative novice. I walk for an hour or more each weekday and try to do more on Sundays - 4 hours in Bronte country a decent effort recently. I did also get to the top of The Old Man of Coniston last year. It hurt!

I'm seeking, ideally, female company age 40-50 who can encourage me, inspire me and support me in taking on ever increasing challenges. In return, I expect to do the same for you!

I have not been able to do this for sometime due to other commitments. I am in a position now to get back to it and do some walking again. With working here I have nobody to get out with. I can manage midweek walks sometimes during the day. Sometimes on an evening depending on my shift. Looking to do any walks in the area from easy to more difficult and maybe find a few geocache on the way. Good company with a good sense of humour required for some interesting walks

I am a Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Aberdeen.

My Message: Hi. i live in Aberdeenshire and walk regularly, mainly hills, forest tracks and beaches. Being now semi retired with more spare time i would like to walk some of the many walking ways which we have in this country. I am also keen to walk some of the longer stretches of beach. Walking alone means i always have to return to where i have parked, so with a companion and a second car longer walks would be possible. Im looking for walking buddies who are reasonably fit, male female or couple. I have just bought a camper van so am able and keen to travel. I am also also a life long naturist so if weather and location permit i prefer to walk nude. It is the most liberating and stress busting experience i know but please bear this in mind if replying.

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

My Message: Hi. I really enjoy getting out walking and exploring new places, and I'm looking for a female friend aged between 25 and 35 to join me for anything from short local walks to adventures a bit further afield. I'm next door to the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales so I've got some brilliant walks and places to explore pretty much on my doorstep. Also I'm up for travelling a bit further as well. I'm not an uber-serious hiker or anything, so massive day long hikes or serious climbing aren't really my thing, but I'm definitely up for a challenge! I'm normally free week day evenings for local jaunts, and weekends too. Feel free to drop me a line. Thanks. Ben.

I am a Walker, in my late 60s, based near Malvern.

My Message: As I've been on this great site for 3 years I thought an update was in order. I now spend December, January and February in Ribeira Brava, Madeira and the remaining 9 months here in Malvern; both splendid walking centres. Nevertheless, while in England I like to get away and over the last few years have walked the SWCP from Exmouth to Poole in dribs and drabs. Thinking of a new project this year, I saw on this site that Wales is split into fourteen mountainous regions. How about climbing the highest in each region? In a relaxed way, you understand, going away for a few days at a time. Investigation showed that I'd done many of them before so I decided on the third highest of each instead. Anyone fancy joining me? Oh, I'm planning to walk the Fisherman's Trail, along the Atlantic Coast in Portugal, probably in October, as well.
