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

My Message: I'm looking to meet up with like-minded people to enjoy walks in the countryside and ideally, bag the odd historical landmark along the way. I'm easy going and up for a laugh. I am working on my fitness levels to increase distances over time and find the reward of a pub at the end of the day the best incentive. I was at the back of the queue when directional abilities were given out and so anyone with a remnant of orienteering skill would be a godsend. Happy to travel further afield to explore other areas … subject to me finding you 😁

My Preferred Walk Grades*: 1:2:3:4:6:

My Preferred Walk Areas:
North East England; North West England; Yorkshire;

A bit more about me:

I really don't like Scrambling & Edges - they are defintely not for me. I prefer warm, dry & sunny weather but can cope with the odd shower. I'm not bothered about dogs one way or the other. If pushed, I'd say my map reading & navigation skills are rather poor at best. I can drive and have a car.

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

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

My Message: Interested in finding a walking buddy, male or female to explore places in UK as well as abroad. It would be nice to have company, a bit of chit chat etc while out hiking.
I have walked many of the popular routes; summit mountains in Lakes District, North Wales. Peaks District is my nearest stomping ground.
I would love to explore Scotland, South Wales and the South of England more. As they are further to drive to I haven't spent much time there.
Done Hadrian Walls Walk a few years ago; The Cleveland Way last year; The West Highland Way will begin in May 2024, The Cumbria Way will follow sometime this year. The Coast to Coast is on the pipeline. I would loved to have company with these long distance walks.

I am employed, with a certain flexibility for weekday or weekend meet up.

As a person,I'm easy going with gsoh, can easily laugh at myself ; not easily offended. I can hold a conversation but not a chatter box, but if you are I'm a great listener.

The photo was taking several years ago. I don't have a current one and I don't do selfie as the camera lense will cracked :-).

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

My Message: Hello, I'm Mark I enjoy walking and discovering places. I occasionally lead walks for my friends or just enjoy a walk on my own. Most walks end up with a pint or a meal. I'm looking to meet someone who enjoys the scenery and wildlife and enjoys a occasional challenge. I'm currently trying to do all the peaks in the Yorkshire Dales over 2000ft and get a few Wainwrights done but not in any great rush.I also do a bit of mountain biking now and then (no mad off road down hill routes). Look forward to hearing from anyone with similar interests.

A bit more about me:

I can cope with a little bit of scrambling if it is short and there are no steep drops. 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:

  • Peak Bagging - where the aim is to climb all the hills or mountains on a particular list such as 'bagging' all the Wainwrights or Munros;
  • Mountain Biking

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

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

My Message: An avid climber and skier in the Alps and Cascades up to the 2000's, I now just hike due to wear and tear. Reluctantly moving into retirement after a global career in various marine sectors and now looking to spend more time exploring the great outdoors. Living in the Peak District puts lots of walks right on my doorstep. I've walked quite a bit in Eryri (studied and worked in the area previously), and a little in Scotland and Lake District. I don't mind walking alone for the exercise but would so much rather share experiences and local knowledge of our coasts, hills and mountains.

I am a Male Walker, in my late 50s, based near Coleshill hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi, I used to be keen long distance walker, I've walked some of the national trails including the Pennine way and half the south west coast path.... I was out every weekend and most of my holidays. However due to a failed relationship (she said she liked walking but it turned out only to the shops and back!!) I haven't really been walking for 3 years.... I'm looking to get back into walking and would like to find someone who's interested in day walks of 10 to 15 miles with a little drink and a comfy fire at the end of it. maybe, over time, linking the individual walks into long trails.... A great person once said the longest journey begins with a single step

My Message: Hi
Looking for a walking partner to enjoy the scenery. Love coastal/beach walks but also countryside. It is all about the views and vistas.

Quality not quantity …..I think about 7-10 miles is my limit for a day's walking.

A good walk and chat would be nice. Can do during the week as well as weekends.

Would like to do more hill walking as I live in a very flat area!

Main aim is to keep fit and get out into the fresh air.

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

My Message: Hi,
My name's Michael, I'm in my mid sixties, six feet tall and I'm looking for a female companion to share my interests which include photography,gardening, reading, antique shops and exploring our beautiful countryside.
I'm fit and active and still working in a job I enjoy which involves being outside all year round.
I own my own detached home in the beautiful Ribble valley, I'm solvent, single with no children or baggage.
I'm honest, considerate and caring with a good sense of humour, ( you need one of those with my job!! ). I have nice manners and morals and am very respectful
I have a two year old border collie whose going to be trained as a Search and Rescue dog.

It would be lovely to find a lady with the same outlook in life with whom I can talk to and enjoy companiable silences.
I have always enjoyed being in the hills and mountains and spent 15 years as a member of a busy mountain rescue team, so I've a good idea of what im doing out there!!
Ive travelled fairly extensively throughout Europe and done on ortwo big mountains over the years.

These days though are spent at a more sedate pace, I love the Scottish mountains and venture up there two or three times a year, but most weekends I'm up in the Howgills near Sedburgh, the western Yorkshire dales or this lovely area where I live.

I'm not interested in joining a ramblers club or walking with a big group of people...they're not for me. I do go walking occasionally with two or three very close friends but it would be nice to find someone on the same wavelength who would like to share some happy days in the hills come rain or shine.

My Message: Hi everyone I'm here to find some walking / hiking friends for the occasional weekend when I'm usually out and about alone.
I would say I could do most of the strenuous challenging walks I'm fit enough for a challenge.
I've currently been walking around Gwydir forest area it's nice out there I've set my goal to do all the walking routes around that area before moving to a new place but I'm open to join someone else's adventure.
When im not out walking you will find me biking or paddle boarding around.

I am a Male Walker, in my late 40s, based near Shrewsbury hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: I mix and match my walks, so that can mean anything from a short river stroll to a long distance path,I'm planning to do the Great Glen Way soon(ish). I completed a month long walk in Spain earlier this year but that was quite an unusual one for me.

I also do short trips away walking (or mostly walking) several times a year where I based in one place, again camping. I'm only a couple of hours from the Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia.

A few years ago I rearranged my life so I now have a lot of flexibility in my life, the chances are that I cam fit in with your schedule.

It's not all walking, and in truth I'm not hyperactive, so I do a some overseas travel which doesn't necessarily include strenuous hikes. Last tear I did a trip to Moroccan Sahara with a vehicle. Recently I booked the cheapest flight that I could find to India and then worked out some approximate travel plans around that.

As you may have noticed, I ticked the box to say that I am looking for walking friends but I would be happy if someone special came along. If you think you might be that someone special' then I'm happy to share a bit more about myself.

I hope to hear from you soon :)

Box No: 226583

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

My Message: Hi there

I'm a relaxed, friendly and positive person who enjoys meeting new people.

I like spending whole days walking and would love to meet someone who could join me. I also like half day walks too! I'd particularly like to do long distance paths either over a series of weekends or for a few days.

I'm fit and active with a love of nature so walking is more about the beauty around me than ticking off a bucket list, or marking up achievements. Nothing wrong with those but they're not what motivates me.

I also love a good conversation and whilst I happily go for solo walks it's nice to share the experience with a friend or two so I hope to meet some friends on here!

I've specified the southern half of the country, not because I don't want to walk further afield but I'm being practical about what I can fit in during a normal working week. I work full time but have weekends, summer evenings (if you're not far away) and generally work a 9 day fortnight so I get a couple of extra days a month. I also have holidays and because I live alone and don't have children I can be flexible.

I'm not confident with dogs but if you have a well-behaved small or medium-sized dog I'll probably be ok with it.

I'd also be up for trips to other parts of the UK and abroad.

That's probably enough for now please do get in touch if you'd like to. I hope to hear from someone!

Thanks.

I am a Male Walker, in my late 50s, based near Brighton hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: I'm looking for female walking companions aged 50 to 70. At present I prefer short walks of up to 5 miles. I like to walk at a leisurely pace, with occasional stops. I'd like to go on walks in Sussex, Hampshire or the London area, anywhere within 1.5 hours by train from Brighton, where I live.

I'm currently not working and can do most days except Wednesdays. I don't have a car at present.

My other interests are spirituality, creative art, personal development and gardening on my balcony. My personality is sometimes playful and outgoing, and sometimes quiet and thoughtful. Sometimes I like to have a break in conversation and walk together in silence to take in the views. I enjoy taking photos during my walks.

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

My Message: I am now retired so have plenty of time to go walking locally and nationally. I can sometimes make plans at short notice. I am friendly and reliable and like to chat on a walk.

I am looking for people who love walking and are looking for someone to join them. I would like to meet someone who is also interested in walking some of the long distance paths across the country. Sometimes we need a bit of motivation and encouragement and it is always better to have some company and support. Distance and speed are not that important. I equally enjoy local half day walks in the south of England to all day challenges in the mountains. But, it's always nice to end up in a country pub at the end of the day.

I am a reasonable map reader and whilst generally cautious by nature, I am fairly confident in the mountains. I have a car so can travel as necessary. I like to chat about about most things and it would be a bonus if you had a good sense of humour too.

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

My Message: I live close to 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 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 fit and younger in appearance and character. I can get along with most people of all ages. I am vegan and so would love to meet a vegan or veggie if possible. I generally like to walk between 5-15 miles I'm 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. Chris

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

My Message: I moved to The Lake District in February 2014, having spent the previous 30 years living and working in London. My two children are in their early 30's and still in London. I started a B&B/self catering business here in Ambleside and I've climbed all the Wainwrights in between dealing with my guests. My interests extend to wildlife and the preservation of wild places. I play in a samba drumming band, sing with a local choir, I'm in the local mountain rescue team, the local water pressure group and enjoy live music of most genres. I try to spend time each summer working at music festivals, particularly Glastonbury. I'm pro European (a Remainer) and I hate our current government. Chatting and good company in the high fells can make for memorable and atmospheric days, so do please get in touch.

My Preferred Walk Grades*: 4:5:6:7:8:

A bit more about me:

I love Scrambling & Edges - the more exposure the better. I'm happy to walk in all weathers - sunshine, snow, hail, wind & rain - bring it on. 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:

  • Wild Camping - Camping out in the wilds well away from anyone & any facilities;
  • Peak Bagging - where the aim is to climb all the hills or mountains on a particular list such as 'bagging' all the Wainwrights or Munros;

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

I am a Female Walker, in my early 70s, based near North Yorkshire hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: I am passionate about the hills, wild places and like a challenge. I'm easy going and have a soh - semi-retired so can walk in the week as well as at week-ends. I usually walk with groups, friends or alone to practice navigation (which I am reasonable at). I am a reasonably fit 'plodder' and hillwalking is my main interest - its always better to share adventures with likeminded others. I moved to the Yorkshire dales five years ago and am enjoying having some great walking on the doorstep. I've walked extensively in Scotland, Lake District, North Wales and Europe. I'm seeking walking buddies who might be interested in doing long distance paths here or abroad and/or hillwalking in the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District, Northumberland or Scotland. I'm used to driving to walk locations.

My Preferred Walk Grades*: 4:5:6:7:8:

My Preferred Walk Areas:

A bit more about me:

I quite enjoy Scrambling & Edges but don't like too much exposure. I'm happy to walk in all weathers - sunshine, snow, hail, wind & rain - bring it on. 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;
  • Wild Camping - Camping out in the wilds well away from anyone & any facilities;
  • Peak Bagging - where the aim is to climb all the hills or mountains on a particular list such as 'bagging' all the Wainwrights or Munros;
  • 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 Male Walker, in my early 40s, based near Lowestoft hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hello all,

It's been well over two years since I've been on here so this is seriously overdue an update.

I'm originally from Essex but currently reside in Lowestoft, Suffolk.
Before this I had spent 5 years in Australia as an expedition leader and outdoor instructor.

Since my first posting on the message board I have summited Mount Olympus, Ben Nevis and Snowdon (still need Scarfell)
I have also bagged a couple of the lesser peaks in Wales.

Currently, I'm really enjoying wild camping. I have been doing some multi-day hikes here and just this summer found some cool little spots around Europe.

my biggest achievement to date is back in 2022 I managed to complete the 'West Highland Way' and 'Great Glen Way' back to back.

Apart from the great outdoors I love music (the soundtracks to our lives!), enjoy most sports but also like more mundane pursuits (reading, games, tinkering and crafts)

I'm still walking mostly on my own. As much as the solitude is sometimes nice, I would much appreciate some company, banter and motivation.

Happy hiking everyone

My Message: Hi everyone,

I'm Mike, single, and looking for a walking companion, based fairly near Reading, for all kinds of walks between 8 to 20 miles. I enjoy a reasonable pace but I am certainly not adverse to admiring the scenery and enjoying a real ale during the day.

Would love to meet one or two people who share similar interests.

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

My Message: Now retired but still walking. I live in mid Wales just off the coast. Surrounded by hills, big and small. Planning to walk part of the Welsh coastal path for two weeks next April. Have done a lot of different walks in many countries. Don't mind where or when,rain or shine. If I can get there, I'm up for it. Getting a bit bored of talking to myself so a walking partner now and then would be nice.

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

My Message: I live in S Bucks but love the mountains and hills: Peaks, Dartmoor, Beacons, Shropshire hills, mid-Wales, N and S Downs. I can get to them all in no more than three hours, have a great day's walking, and home again - as long as I'm out of the car for more than I'm in it, that's OK.

If you'd like to meet for a walk in these or any other (not too flat) regions, and are looking for friendship and company, I'd love to hear from you.

I've also become a mountain biker after getting a bike to access more remote hills but the bike's taken over a bit, and I'm trying to return to walking more. I've even tried a bit of bikepacking with tent etc (and even skis) to make it an adventure, but not wholly sold on that idea!

The Lakes, Snowdonia, and Scotland are the real draws though, especially in winter conditions. I've been up to the far NW and the W and Central Highlands for the last few years and love them. And the Alps of course, and Arctic Norway.

I like mountains and hills. I walk among them and try to ski (downhill and touring) them, and recently mountain bike through them to save my legs when getting to the more remote ones. Try imagining the peaks and valleys under a kilometre of ice shaping the Lakes or Highlands into the dramatic wild places they can be today. After an injury or two in 2022 I'm taking things little more leisurely but still like a good day's fresh air in most weathers.

I used to work right in the middle of London which was enjoyable and different; I live at the end of a Tube line with a usually-muddy field-and-woods walk to my local station.

But I made the move (end 2015) to working from home - or not - in my own time, so I'm freed from the weekends-only bids for the outdoors. So if you fancy meeting for a walk or a muddy ride, let me know.

Oh, and my name is Robert.

I am a Female Walker, in my late 50s, based near Canada- Visit Manchester hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi, I'm Shelley, I lived in Preston for a number of years and have now returned to Canada but make frequent trips to the UK. I love hill walking, in the UK and am looking for walking partners for walking breaks/ holidays. I am particularly interested in doing some long distance walks in the UK such as the Great Glen Way, The West Highland Way and Pennine routes. I walked Hadrians Wall this September (2023) and really enjoyed it. Also open to walks in other countries.

I have had some health issues which has effected by feet and therefore do not do well with lots of road walking. I am fairly fit but walk, I walk a moderate pace (not fast) but can manage hills well enough. I find 10-12 miles a day is good but can go further if the terrain is not too difficult (or not on roads).

I am also looking for walking friends when I am visiting the Manchester area, either for local walks or further afield for a day or two. days in other areasI. Love to share a drink/ meal at the end, preferably in pub with a cosy fire or a patio on a warm day.

I am a Male 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 8 or 9 miles but can easily do up to 12 or more. Equally I am happy on shorter walks of 5 or 6 miles. 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.
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 have recently bought a campervan and this year have generally done shorter trips around the south and west but plan to venture further afield in the coming year.
I would like to find a similar minded person to join me on walks both in my local area and further afield.

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

My Message: I would love to connect with new friends who share my passion for mountains and the great outdoors. First and foremost I'm looking for walking buddies - someone for engaging conversations who appreciates magnificent landscapes (and to share a post hike pint). If I find a mutual connection with someone - and they with me - I'm not averse to something closer developing.

I'm lucky to live where I do in the North West, in easy driving distance of The Lakes, Snowdonia, The Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales. When I get the chance I find great walks in all.

I generally either walk solo these days, usually looking for hikes with variety - a collection of peaks, some scrambles etc. - or I walk with my 5 year old daughter who has enthusiastically embraced hiking as a mini 'mountaineer'. Together we've now found 6 'magic stones' (aka 'trig points') including Snowdon and Scafell Pike.

I would love adult companions to plan more challenging walks as well though - and if I got to know someone well I would be interested in doing something more adventurous like a camping and hiking expedition in the Scottish Highlands perhaps.

I'm pretty fit and capable for my age - I'm not exactly running marathons, but I am active and in decent-ish shape.

I do have a relatively busy and demanding life trying to balance family commitments (I am romantically single, but co-parent two small children and a teenager) a full-time job (I'm a policy professional working with forestry) and theatre (my other big hobby - I act and direct for local societies). That can mean walking time is limited - but with forward planning, I do manage to get my boots on every couple of months or so.

If you fancy going for a decent ramble, discussing the wonders of nature, setting the world to rights - or just having a nice chat with someone new, I'd love to hear from you.
