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

My Message: I am in my late 60's and live on the edge of Bath close to the Cotswold Way. I used to walk with my wife but she passed away in late 2020 and since then I have either walked with a group or alone, but group walking is not my preferred option as I like to be able to stop and take in the views when appropriate and this is not so easy when in a group.
If a walk can be combined with a pub or cafe visit part way through or at the end all the better.
I usually walk around 6 - 8 miles but can easily do up to 10 - 12. Equally I am happy on shorter walks of 5. I have completed over 75% of the SW Coast Path and I would be interested in other long distance paths such as the coast to coast. I would like to finish the SW Coast Path, I have gaps in the South Devon and Dorset areas.
My general interests centre around sport, heritage and outdoor life. I volunteer at a local city farm and do footpath improvement work in my local area. I have a disabled daughter and am / have been involved with associated charity and campaign groups.
Being retired I can usually be available to walk most days subject to my volunteering roles.
I have walked a lot around the Mendips and South Cotswolds but have also spent a fair amount of time on the Quantocks, Exmoor, Dorset coast and East Devon areas.
I would like to find a similar minded person to join me on walks both in my local area and further afield.

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. With regard to the weather, this is the UK so it's going to rain sooner or later isn't it? Fine with me, I've got waterproofs. 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 can drive and have a car.

I am also interested in:

• Camping on Campsites - Camping where there is a shop, toilets, showers & possibly a pub;
• Long Distance Path Walking - Multi-day walks like The Pennine Way, Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk;

I am not actively looking for anyone other than a new walking companion but if that right person came along . . .

I am a Walker, in my late 60s, based near Burnley hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi, my name is John, aged 67, widower. I am getting back into walking after a 30 year break! I have joined a couple of walking groups recently and have been doing 7 to 9 mile walks, some with steep ascents. I'm ideally looking for a single mature female to become a regular walking companion. (Maybe something serious / long term, if we get along). I enjoy leisurely strolls of between two and twelve miles, taking in the countryside and environment. I used to sketch and take photos, so any walk would be a leisurely one, taking time, and not a route march!. I particularly like walking in North Yorkshire around Settle, Grassington, Howarth and East Lancashire, around Burnley & Pendle. I enjoy anything from canal walks to what might be termed 'medium' grade but will go for the occasional more challenging trip.
Being retired I can be reasonably flexible re weekdays or weekends, ideally East Lancs, North Yorks area, as I do not drive, (my late wife was the driver and I was the navigator.) I say my map-reading skills are fine and have so far kept me from going astray! Even on Ingleborough, in mist!.
I'm happy to put in a bit of effort to get the best out of the scenery. I have a quiet nature, non-smoker, seldom drink, interested in History, the countryside, nature, art, varied musical taste. Happy to have a bit of a natter and something to eat en route or at the end of the day.
When it comes to Scrambling & Edges I'm OK with the occasional edge or scramble but don't go looking for it. With regard to the weather, I don't mind the rain as long as it's not torrential, this is the UK so it's going to rain sooner or later isn't it? I've got waterproofs so I am ok. I'm not bothered about dogs one way or the other. My map reading & navigation skills are usually fine. Unfortunately I do not drive, so need a friend who can drive or meet locally. I have a bus pass !

I am a Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Bakewell hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Based in the Peak District and with a background in marine sciences and management, I've lived in numerous countries around the world, working in various marine sectors, such as renewable energy and civil engineering. Born in Kenya, I also spent about 20 years in The Netherlands, where my adult daughters live, before returning to the UK in 2008. Amicably separated, politically centre-left, pragmatic, non-fiction reader and omnivorous…a good pub at the end of a walk is always welcome!

Formerly an avid sportsman, mountaineer and skier (Alps and Cascades), I'm now down to exploring the indoors and hiking our national parks. Also finding myself drawn back to the sea, where I started my career. Right now, my challenge is to deal with swapping a hectic, international career for gardening and walking in the hills! But walking alone has become a chore…it would be great to share the great outdoors and fascinating indoors.

I am a Walker, in my early 70s, based near Hexham hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: I have always been a keen rambler and have walked in most areas of England, Wales and Scotland. I retired last year (2024) and in June walked (solo backpacking/camping) the Cleveland Way and in October the West Highland Way. I intend to walk the Pennine Way this summer and it would be great to have a companion to enjoy nature and the outdoors. I am reasonable fit but not as fast going uphill as I used to be but then it's not a race sufficient to travel at a pace to appreciate the surroundings!

As part of training I intend to complete some of the Wainwright's I've yet to scale … I'm about 2/3 of way … mostly the more southerly ones to tackle.

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

My Message: Hi, I live in Warminster, Wiltshire. I am looking for both male and female walking companions. I am now retired which gives me free time during the week as well as weekends.

I am very happy to walk locally but also really wish to explore new areas. I have walked some sections of the South West Coast Path and West Wales Coast Path and would love to walk more.

I am not a hardened walker but enjoy walks from 5 to 12 miles and occasionally longer weekend/few days walking. To finish off occasionally with a pub meal is an attractive thought. I love the outdoors and really appreciate the countryside and scenery on route.

I am a Walker, in my late 70s, based near Matlock hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi, I'm Adrian, a vegetarian, single, retired, a co-operative rather than competitive person. Have walked solo for many years but do enjoy walking with a female companion/s to explore our beautiful island. I had a camper van for 12 years but in 2024 changed to a Eriba caravan to use as a mobile base for circular and linear walks. I enjoy all types of walks both short and full day walks and long distance. I have completed a number of classic long distance paths including The Dales Way, Pennine Way, Wainwrights Coast to Coast, Cleveland Way, West Highland Way etc. Not so good on heights these days so I avoid walking on high level narrow ledges. Am passionate about our natural world, fun loving, often quirky. Other interests include nature walks, conservation and engaged with local community activities. Am a long term of NT, WWF, RSPB, WildlifeTrust, Protect The Wild etc conservation groups. On the political front am a long term member of CND, supporter of Amnesty International, a Green Party member and in recent times a Corbynista. I enjoy reading natural history, biographies and have a eclectic taste in music, art cinema, theatre, the arts, wildlife gardening and DIY. Am politically a bit of a lefty. If any of this appeals, please get in touch.

My Message: Hi, my name is Julie, I am single, 65yrs old, retired, loving life and enjoy walking. I would like to find either a female or male or small group of friends/like minded people to go out for the day or weekend exploring the countryside. I am not as fit as I would like to be and need to work on my fitness levels (a work in progress). Would like to think I am good company, good fun, easy going, enjoy a good laugh and enjoy a lively debate. I do have a small dog, so ideally would like to bring her along. My last walk was last year, CatBells in the lake district. Would really enjoy some good company and to the end the day in a nice pub with good food and a well earned drink.

My Message: I Live in the Eden valley in Cumbria & am looking to meet others for a ramble on the lakeland fells or further afield. I love hiking, good music and am a novice enthusiast for wildlife gardening and nature. Completed the Wainwrights in 2021 but always eager to revisit them, particularly via the less touristy routes. I also enjoy moderate road cycling and running. I just love being outdoors really, and being fairly easy going am happy to meet up for doing any of the above at any level.

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near West Yorkshire hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hello. I'm looking for a male and female friends for local, regional or even national walks.

My mountaineering Welsh brother in law calls me a car park walker since I normally join 5-8 mile circular walks that don't involve needing to scramble down some hill on me bum. I enjoy scenery and wildlife and have pottered all around Yorkshire, Ambleside, Langdale Valley, Malvern Hills. I'm a '..have car, will travel...' kinda girl. I'm normally at church most Sunday mornings so evenings or Saturdays are best for me. My kind of walk ends with a pub as opposed to a tragic sandwich in my rucksack. I'm such a townie, I'm ashamed :-)

I also enjoy camping and fair weather cycling although a recent arm injury has clipped my wings on both. (no pun intended).

I'm rubbish at map reading and navigating although I am learning.

I am a Walker, in my early 60s, based near Stoke-on-trent hoping to meet just Male new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi, I live on the edge of the Peak District and love the outdoors. I have walked all my life in most areas of the UK as well as internationally. I like trying new routes but I am also happy on old favourites watching them change with the seasons.

I am looking for people who don't take life too seriously, like a bit of adventure and enjoy exploring new areas. I took early retirement so can walk anytime. My ideal day out is a 5 to 15 mile walk including a coffee or other such beverage, a good chat and learning something new, from the history of the area to a new plant or bird call.

Many of my walks are currently in the Peak District but I will jump at the chance to travel to other areas. Recently I have also walked in Trossachs, North Downs and Snowdonia. I love being in the mountains but I am as happy viewing them from a longer walk through the valleys as climbing to the top.

I'm not bothered about dogs one way or the other. I'd say my map reading & navigation skills are pretty good. I can drive and have a car.

I am also interested in:

• Camping on Campsites - Camping where there is a shop, toilets, showers & possibly a pub;
• Long Distance Path Walking - Multi-day walks like The Pennine Way, Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk;

I am not actively looking for anyone other than a new walking companion but if that right person came along . . .

I am a Walker, in my mid 70s, based near Nottingham hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: I live South of the Peak District. I know it really well and love it, but equally love walking in Wales, The Lakes, Yorkshire, Northumbria and other parts too. I first got the walking bug whilst doing a charity walk in Snowdonia in 1998 (Crib Goch at 4 a.m.). I'm happy walking on mountains, hilltops and along valleys, canals, rivers and dales. I walk to chill and enjoy what's there and around me, not to race to the end. What would make my day complete though is some good company to share the views, some good conversation (serious or silly), laughter and after walk refreshments or a meal. I'm just into my 70's but am very fit and am younger in appearance and character. I can get along with most people of all ages. I am vegan but whilst it would be lovely to meet a vegan or veggie, it isn't a prerequisite. I generally like to walk between 5-15 miles I'm very chilled, have a quick wit and great sense of humour. I drive and don't see anywhere on the mainland as too far. My other interests are landscape photography, art, city and country breaks and the theatre to mention a few but always happy to try something new. Regards. Chris

A bit more about me:

I quite enjoy Scrambling & Edges but don't like too much exposure. With regard to the weather, this is the UK so it's going to rain sooner or later isn't it? Fine with me, I've got waterproofs. I like walking with dogs but do not have one of my own. I'd say my map reading & navigation skills are pretty good. I can drive and have a car.

I am also interested in:

• Camping on Campsites - Camping where there is a shop, toilets, showers & possibly a pub;
• Wild Camping - Camping out in the wilds well away from anyone & any facilities;
• Back Packing - Multi-day walks carrying all your gear & wild camping;

By putting my profile on here I am hoping to meet someone special.

I am a Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Hertfordshire hoping to meet just Male new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi I'm hoping to meet a like-minded male friend to walk, talk and share a love and appreciation of the outdoors. I've friends that I already walk with but mostly they are fair-weather amblers who, much as I love them, really don't notice or know anything about nature….not expecting Chris Packham but just someone who has a bit of curiosity and passion about the subject!

I do my day to day walking around Herts/Bucks/Beds but it would be good to have a companion for visiting pretty well anywhere in the UK. I'm not really interested in walking abroad at the moment as I have a dog who walks with me and also there are too many parts of the UK that I still want to visit…..

I've walked mostly in Herts, Bucks, Dorset, along Norfolk coast, in Lake District, North Yorkshire, parts of Highlands. My doggie and I did Ben Nevis 6 years ago but I'd not expect her to do that now, so peak-bagging is not my thing.

I have a good level of fitness and endurance for walking and would happily walk for several hours and in most weathers - having a dog I'm out 365 days and cooler temperatures often work best for us anyhow.

Stuff that interests me: UK wildlife (am a member of the RSPB), the Arctic, planets and constellations, Northern Lights, politics (I'm bit lefty), current affairs, art, bioscience

Stuff I dislike: pseudo-science, beige food, small-talk

What else? I'm an introvert, I love one to one interaction and am very talkative with the right person, where we share interests and values; big groups are not my thing at all. I read a lot, listen to music a lot, love the radio. I eat mostly a Mediterranean diet. I don't watch much tv but when I do it's probably a Scandi Noir (nothing has ever beaten The Bridge).

I have recently retired from paid employment so can walk anytime I choose, however I do have voluntary charity commitments, but can work around these.

A bit more about me:

I really don't like Scrambling & Edges - they are defintely not for me. I'm happy to walk in all weathers - sunshine, snow, hail, wind & rain - bring it on. I like walking with dogs and will bring my own. To be honest, my map reading & navigation skills are a bit averagely average. I can drive and have a car.

I am also interested in:

• Camping on Campsites - Camping where there is a shop, toilets, showers & possibly a pub;
• Wild Camping - Camping out in the wilds well away from anyone & any facilities;
• 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.

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

My Message: I live in London, but have done lots of long distance path walking,including the SW coastal path and the Cumbria Way and a fair bit of mountain walking in Scotland: Arran, the Cairngorms, Mull, Assynt... I would love to explore more countryside, mostly the northern half of the country and Ireland, which I'm sorry to say I've never been to!

I was a bike commuter for many years which has given me a good level of fitness and I still love cycling in the city, preferring to mostly keep to quiet routes.

Don't be put off by the fact that I live in London! I can travel!!
And of course there are some lovely walks in and around London.

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Lincoln hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi. I'm semi retired and live near Lincoln. I love the outdoors and love to spend my time walking, running and even gardening. Anything to be outside. I do most of my walking in the Lake District, Peak District and some on the Lincolnshire Wolds. Im always happy to explore and have previously walked in the, Wales and Scotland.
My partner is not really interested in my love of walking and not that keen on the great outdoors. I do a lot of walking on my own but would enjoy some company, ideally someone who loves being outdoors like me and who doesn't mind a bit of weather. My work pattern varies so I can be free mid week and weekends too.
I've started to tick off the Wainwrights (over half of them now) and I'm now the proud owner of a camper van and hope to venture further afield.
I'd also like to do a few wild camps.

I am a Walker, in my mid 50s, based near York hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hello, I'm on the lookout for new walking companions that share my passion for walking in the hills. I try to get out into the North York Moors or Dales as frequently as possible. Weekends in Snowdonia and Cumbria are always treasured. I'm trying to expand my general wildlife knowledge and have also started dabbling in some basic foraging. I usually manage to walk abroad once a year (the Julian Alps in Slovenia are my absolute favourite). Would love to hook up with like minded folk to share a walk or two so please get in touch. Thanks for reading
Patrick

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Stone hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi, I enjoy walking in Staffordshire and Shropshire, evenings and weekends.
I prefer gentle strolls of between two and ten miles. Not too keen on the more route march style of walking.
I'm a keen photographer and like to stop occasionally to take photos of the views (only for a minute or so, not an hour setting up kit :-) )
I enjoy canal walks and I don't mind the rain as long as it's not torrential :-)
