I am a 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.

I am a 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 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 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

I am a 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
