How to Find New Walking Friends with go4awalk.com

Want to walk but got nobody to walk with? Not everyone wants to go walking alone. No-one to share the view, no-one to share the experience, no-one to share that warming cup of tomato soup. Besides, all the experts say it is safer to go into the hills & mountains with experienced friends.

Making new friends is never easy - but if we help you meet just one new walking friend you'll be mighty glad you joined.

This is how it works:

This is so you know you will only be replying to, and getting responses from, like-minded people who really are genuinely looking for walking companions.

  2. We will send you an email asking you to confirm this is what you intended. This email will come from Clare using the address: . It will be entitled Please confirm your Find a Friend Message. It will not contain any attachments. Please ensure this email address in on your white list and any spam filters are set to accept it.

  3. Once you have confirmed, we will give your message a unique box number (eg Box 1000) and place it on the Find a Friend Message Board. Your name and email will not be published - even to people replying to your message.
