Male Walker, 33, based near Hexham

Message: Hi my name is Stuart looking for a fairly experienced walking companion to walk in the Lake District or anywhere in the North of the UK. I have just started walking over a year ago but have a good fitness level and will give any distance or grade ago. I own my own pub restaurant so Mondays are the best days for me, other days can be arranged but not weekends. Easy going just looking for a good walk followed by a well desevred pint. My partner is currently teaching in New Zealand so when she returns she would also join us. Cheers Stuart

Male Walker, 55, based near Ipswich

Message: Hi, I'm Kevan and I live in Suffolk. I am now able walk long weekends and school holidays. I am keen to return to activities of my more youthful days, especially wild camping, although hostels are fine too. I'd also like to swim in streams and lakes in remote places as well! I'm looking to walk in Wales, Scotland and the north of England. A trip to Switzerland, Germany or Austria is also on the agenda. My children are grown up and my partner is not very keen on longer hikes.

Female Walker, 66, based near Near Darlington

Message: I've recently moved to County Durham and am looking for one (or two)new friends for occasional or regular walks. I walk often, but don't particularly like going out with large groups. I'm a fairly experienced walker - familiar with the Yorkshire Dales, but still trying to finish the Wainwrights! I live a little south of Durham so have good access to Lakes, Dales and Northumbria - though I haven't much knowledge of the latter and would be happy to remedy this. I look forward to hearing from anyone out there with similar interests. Jean

Male Walker, 50, based near Bradford

Message: Hi, new to this site - but not to the outdoors. I'm a 50 year old single, reasonably active male who lives near Bradford in West Yorkshire. I enjoy both gentle and more serious walks. Have done lots of walking in the Yorkshire Dales, a little in the Lakes, and in Snowdonia. Have twice previously done the Yorkshire Three Peaks, but tend to do them seperately now to be able to enjoy the views more. It would be nice to have some female company whilst out walking, and to share the views too.

Male Walker, 48, based near Harrogate

Message: Hi, I'm Tony and my great passion is the British countryside and wildlife. I love walking in the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and North York Moors. I used to play rugby, football and basketball, but advancing years have now restricted my sporting activities to gentler pastimes such as golf, darts and snooker. The two things at the top of my 'bucket list' (I HATE that expression!) are to climb all the Wainwrights and to see a full Ring Cycle (two down, two to go, with number 3 this July). I would like to explore Wales, Scotland and Ireland and have been bitten by the multi-day walking bug, having done The Tabular Hills, Dales Way and Coast to Coast walks, and would love to do more.

Female Walker, 37, based near Lancaster

Message: Hi - My name is Claire (37yrs) single and live in the Lancaster area. I'm relatively new to walking and would very much like to continue particularly in the Lakes. I don't always have a walking buddy as most of my friends don't enjoy walking up hills! Therefore I would appreciate some male/female company. It's not much fun walking on your own. I'm fairly fit and love being outdoors when I have the chance. I would also appreciate walking with someone who has good sense of direction and map reading skills. Perhaps you could teach me! I believe that walking is all about getting out in the fresh air, enjoying the views, but should also include having a laugh and maybe a few beers afterwards. Perfect.

Box: 101683

Male Walker, 43, based near Leeds

Message: I first started walking about six years ago & really started to enjoy myself right from the start. I don't mind short one day walks, but always prefer when possible to do a full weekend or longer multi day walk when ever i get the chance. Never use B&B unless I'm forced - always preferring instead to use either hostels & bunk barns when available as I find them much more friendly places & far better value for money. I always give myself the option of camping on walks so always carry full eqp't when I'm away - quite happy to both wild camp & walk in all weather conditions too. Over the years I've always walked alone as I find this allows me to use my good map reading skills to plan my own routes & walk at my own pace. Although you meet others while walking it still tends to get a bit boring sometimes & i often wish I'd someone else to chat to. I tried group walking about 18 months ago & although its very friendly I don't think it's quite what I'm looking for. I'd like to get to meet another walker - preferably a female of around the same age & ability, who's also into my style of walking & who also has quite a lot of spare time on their hands. Due to carrying all this kit I'm not looking for the kind of walks where you've got to go racing up a steep mountain side like a bionic rat up a drain pipe! only to give yourself cardiac arrest - no fun in that!!! Trying to get a photo on here at the moment too, but having problems - give it another try.

Message: Hi, basically like to get out and about on the weekend, especially as we're getting into the hopefully nice warm summer! but current friends take some persuading to go for a walk. So would be nice to meet new friends that are also interested on going for a decent walk. I'm based in Darlington, so would be good to meet people in similar sort of area. Not got much experience on long walks but willing to give it a go, and got a dog who would definitely enjoy the exercise. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Male Walker, 55, based near Darlington

Message: Hi, I am looking for fellow walkers to share the joys of the great outdoors with followed by a well earned beer or meal! I am fairly fit and for me it's about being out there in the countryside, catching the views as much as bagging peaks - although this is always an added bonus. I am as happy in the lowlands, in the woods, by the sea as I am navigating my way across highlands and moorland. I am a reasonable navigator and I enjoy exploring off the beaten track. If any of this sounds appealing and you are willing to join me being out there in the wild enjoying the splendour of our countryside. I have my own transport and can walk occasionally mid week or at the weekend to suit. Please do get in touch and let's get walking :) Ian

Female Walker, 49, based near Milnthorpe

Message: Hi Moved back to the Lakes a couple of years ago. Have walking friends but not always available when I am, or they are 'fair weather' walkers. I now write a blog about my walks so tend to be out in all weathers. Really love the hills and mountains anywhere, but Cumbria and Dales are very local to me. I have a small dog who follows me most places and is very well behaved. I realised a few weeks ago I had done over half the Wainwrights without thinking about it, so I am now on a bit of a mission. Love to 'talk and walk' so good companion also essential and someone who is not too worried if I stop to take photos. I am well-travelled, reasonably read and eco-friendly, if you think you would enjoy my company would love to hear from you. Alvina

Message: Hi, my name is Jo, I enjoy walking, hiking, scrambling, skiing and camping. I am always searching out camp sites that allow you to have a campfire as I like to sit by a camp fire with a glass of wine. I also enjoy cooking on the BBQ. I enjoy walking in the hills or at the coast, the challenge of a serious climb, but more importantly I am happy to be outside. I am looking for people to go walking with at weekends.
