Male Walker, 64, based near Gosport

Message: Hi My Name is Geof. I am a 64 year male. Based in Gosport, Hants. I walk at least one day a week, up to 8 - 10 miles typically at a reasonable pace if its easy going, a little less and more slowly if hilly. But I do like to stop and enjoy the scenery and the wildlife and usually with a pub visit somewhere on route. I would like to get out two or three days a week, and am free most weekdays and weekends for walks anywhere in the South Coast counties, and with the right company am interested in some longer walks in other parts of the country. I am retired so have all the time in the world for walking, some boating in the Solent and touring in the motorhome. The latter, as a basis for walking further afield anywhere in UK or Europe. I have a particular passion for the west of Scotland and would like to find a companion to spend some time walking in that area.

Male Walker, 49, based near Blackpool

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.

Female Walker, 66, based near Highcliffe, Dorset

Message: Retired & fit, looking for companions to walk LDPs as the more I do, the more I want to do. Many of my walking friends are not able/willing to do LDPs. I walk anything between 10-14 miles per day. Mostly B&Bs or hostels (no tents these days although I love campervans). My friendly border collie sometimes walks with me and I still have a long list of trails I want to challenge, such as The Dales Way, Offa's Dyke, Cowal Way and many others. Transport not a problem. Is anyone interested in joining me or are there any other trails you want to do and would like a companion to share petrol costs? Could also walk locally round New Forest & Dorset, Hampshire area.

Female Walker, 49, based near Hebden Bridge

Message: Hello I am a 50 yr old female living in West Yorkshire. Ideally I would like to find walking companions who live fairly near to me (I live in the Calder Valley)for some local walks with occasional trips further afield. I have a number of local walks that I do on a regular basis, that are about 6 miles, but I also like longer walks - taking most of the day. I love walks over the tops and to get away from the roads but really as long as I'm out and emersed in the countryside I am happy. I work most saturdays but am free on Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I do not drive but would be happy to travel on public transport to meet up if not too far, or to meet where I live and show you some of my favourite routes. Look foward to meeting you! Happy walking Lisa.

Male Walker, 53, based near Epsom

Message: Hello I am hoping to meet other walker/s for company and also expand my walking horizons as I have tended to stick to local areas / walks I know. I have however undertaken independent treks in Australia, Nepal, Tibet & Pakistan. The length and type of walk is not normally an issue but am at present regaining fitness after an injury so 6 to 8 miles would be prudent. Arranging walks in advance means I can walk during the week as well at weekend. I am based near Epsom Surrey and am willing and able to travel further a field. I look forward to hearing from you Steve I am looking to get out walking again after a period of enforced inactivity. Not an experienced walker but in my twenties undertook treks in Nepal, Tibet & Australia. Willing to travel within reason so travelling does not detract from a walk. Look forward to hearing from you Steve

Female Walker, 43, based near South Molton

Message: Hello. I am looking for people to go walking with at the weekends mainly on Exmoor and Dartmoor, I normally have my dog with me but conversation is very thin on the ground! I love to be in the hills and mountains winter, summer and in any weather. I would like to make some friends to go off to Scotland, Lakes, Wales etc - any area where there is good walking really. I am an easy going 43 year old female and I also enjoy kayaking - although I am very new to it but the idea of combining a walking and kayaking holiday around the islands off Scotland appeals. I live in North Devon and have done all my life but people around here just don't seem to want to get out walking! So if you're up for a wander and maybe a pint or a cuppa along the way get in touch.

Male Walker, 38, based near Newport

Message: Hi, been walking fairly regularly for last year and looking for a people to go walking with (wife has subtalar fusion on ankle preventing long/uneven walks) and are interested in sharing the great outdoors, fresh air, having a chat and a laugh with. I'm highly motivated and have a small group of people I go out with normally but as availability can sometimes be an issue it's always good to keep your horizons broadened and anyone is welcome on our tour as it's pretty socialist and democratic. I can travel to just about anywhere if it's planned in advance but mainly stick to walks in south wales or neighbouring english counties, and also scotland when I go back there which is fairly regular and am fairly good with navigation and have transport. If there are any questions - feel free to ask, I am open and honest, bordering on blunt at times. Enjoy.
