I am a Walker, in my late 40s, based near Eccles, Salford.

My Message: Hi
My name is Bill and I am 51. I am new to walking and keep getting lost. I do have a compass but for some reason it always points to the nearest pub - perhaps it's broke. Therefore, I am looking for someone who can actually read a map or, failing that, who also likes getting lost.
If you need a walking companion with absolutely no sense of direction, I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks
Bill

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Newcastle.

My Message: Hello, I am female, 53, keen to develop a walking habit and widen my circle of like-minded friends. No ties, I'm free most weekends and occasionally a weekday. It would be great to share some walks. I'm hoping a walking partner will encourage me to get out in the fresh air more than I do at the moment. I currently do swimming and yoga. I'm happy to explore more of my county, I live on the Northumberland coastline, and further afield - there's so much beautiful countryside to appreciate in the neighbouring counties, and some good pubs too!
Please do get in touch if you have the time and the inclination. Hilary

I am a Walker, in my early 40s, based near Leeds.

My Message: Hello I'm Caroline, and I'm looking for male and female friends of all ages to go walking with. Over the years I've been on a few trekking holidays abroad, but I'm now keen to make walking a more regular part of my life instead of a 2/3 times a year treat. I'm reasonably fit so I'm happy to walk at various levels, from an evening wander while the nights are still light to an 8am start on a Saturday morning to make the most of the weekend. As much as the walking I just love getting outdoors, but I'd much rather be out with company.
Apart from a charity climb of Snowdon in March and four days on the Pennine Way over Easter I haven't explored many routes, but I did buy a couple of walking books about a year ago and it would be great to finally open them and use them. I've decided to do the Coast-to-Coast sometime in the next twelve months, and it's at least fifteen years since I last did the Three Peaks.
It's probably worth mentioning I currently work Monday to Friday 9 to 5, so I have to work around that. I'm a driver so I'm happy to travel within reason, the desired areas I ticked are not set in stone I just thought it better to tick something. However, I can also see the benefits of public transport so we can reward ourselves with a big glass of wine or pint of ale at the end of our day.
Please get in touch if you would like to meet up.

I am a Walker, in my early 50s, based near Rochdale.

My Message: I'm a quiet friendly walker and would like to meet up with any kindred spirits who love wild places. I’m out and about mainly at weekends, mostly in Lancs/West Yorkshire, Lakes, N. Wales or the Yorkshire Coast.

I work as an occasional volunteer warden for the YHA and have a great love of the Highland and Islands. I’ve also done some longish backpacking treks in Spain and Norway – solo and with friends and would like to do more. I also jointly own a small place in the mountains of southern Spain, which I enjoy pottering around.

I enjoy solo walking, but not 100% of the time. Friends are now partnered and preoccupied with raising families or have emigrated – hence this ad.

I love wildflowers, traditional pubs and music, hedgehogs, rhododendrons in spring, maple trees in autumn, starry skies and wood smoke in winter. Thanks for reading and please feel free to say ‘hello’.

I am a Walker, in my late 40s, based near North Yorkshire.

My Message: Hello fellow walkers!
I'm looking to meet new walking friends, male or female, any age, for walks either in my local area of North Yorkshire, or further afield. The Lakes, the Peak District, and Northumberland are all within easy travelling distance. I'm 49 and I'm just getting back to fitness after an injury, so I'm really looking forward to getting out in the hills regularly again. I am a warm, friendly person, and like nothing better than walking with good company, having a chat and a laugh along the way, and a few drinks at the end of the day. My favourite walk is probably Coniston Old Man, I loved every minute of it! The views are jaw dropping, and I like the history of the area, I somehow think that its copper mining past adds, rather than detracts from the landscape. I like any kind of walking though, from snowy forest walks to coastal paths and mountains. My map reading skills are not great however, despite having done a map reading course :-) I now have a hand held gps, so I'm not wandering around in the hills come midnight! It would be lovely to make some new walking friends, so if there is anyone out there who would like to meet up, please drop me a line x

My Message: Hi, I am a 21 year old female looking for like minded people (male or female) to share in my passion for the great outdoors. I love a challenge - I one day hope to complete the three peak challenege - though I am equally at home with an afternoon or weekend stroll around a local nature reserve or park.

I am a Walker, in my early 20s, based near Eastleigh, Hampshire.

My Message: I'm currently trying to log as many mountainous days as I can over the next year in aid of my Summer Mountain Leader award. I live in the south but I don't mind getting trains to national parks anywhere in the country. I'm not available regularly (i. e. weekends) but I have decent length breaks from work every month. So I'm basically looking for somebody who would enjoy to go on multiple day mountainous expeditions anywhere in the UK.

I am a Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Farnham.

My Message: Hi, I'm a 54 year old female based near Farnham, looking for male/female company for more regular walking in Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex, Dorest. Local walking groups are rather large and I prefer more one to one conversation, probably a faster pace too. I tend to use pre planned walks as I'm not the best map reader - happy to learn from an expert though! Available to walk at least every other weekend, and occasionally in the week, especially during summer months while the evenings are lighter. I'm reasonably fit (Gym and cycle) and happy to walk 8-10 miles or more. Love walking holidays uk or abroad, walked Hadrian's Wall two years ago. Would love to meet more liked minded people to share the beauty of uk countryside. Pub stops are equally important but I'm not adverse to the odd picnic! I look forward to hearing from you!

I am a Walker, in my late 30s, based near Cambridge.

My Message: Hi, I'm 37, based in Cambridge and looking for opportunity to go see some mountains, lakes and landscapes again (if you know Cambridge, its easy to miss the simple things like hills). My ideal walk would be 5 hours in the lake district, followed by slumping in a pub in front of the fire. Looking someone similarly minded to share some laughs with. I have my own transport and happy to share lifts from the Cambridge / London area.

I'm fit and active and would like to meet people/groups to walk with in Derbyshire and the Peak District over the hills and edges. I also like visiting megalithic sites.

I am a Walker, in my late 20s, based near Near Hexham.

My Message: Hi, I'm reasonably new to the Northumberland area (North Yorkshire born and bred) and would love to meet some like minded people, male and female, to walk with. I'm a (PE) teacher so mostly have Sundays and school holidays free to walk/hike/camp. I love the Lake District and have grown up in the North York Moors and Dales, I'm happy to travel and my walks always include food and drink! Unfortunately most of my friends are now married and have different priorities, so I'm therefore looking for new friends to share lovely days out and also the map reading as I have a tendency to get lost! Friends must not mind dogs as a have a new gorgeous cocker spaniel puppy arriving soon! Look forward to hearing from people!

I am a Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Cardiff.

My Message: Hello out there, my name is Mike, I’m aged 56 and three quarters, have my own teeth and many original fittings. I’m looking for someone to share walks of all kinds but especially in the hills. I’ve been a walker for over 40 years and despite some dodgy knees and a slipped disc I can still manage a long day out, enjoy some light scrambling and I can use a map and compass. I usually walk solo but would enjoy some company now and again and at the end of the day perhaps a pie and a pint, or a cassoulet and claret, or a toastie and a cup of tea. Hopefully a walking partner will encourage me to get out more than I manage at the moment. I work full-time but can manage an occasional week day as well as weekends. I will be in the Lake District (staying near Patterdale) from 20-27 May and the Highlands (in Glen Nevis) from 10-17 June if anyone can manage it; short notice I know.

My Message: Hi I am Jules a single walker…
I live near Charnock Richard Services on the M6 (sounds lovely doesn’t it!!).

Like to do fairly strenuous walks but then happy to tootle sometimes (but my strenuous may be easy to someone else so who knows!!).
I like camping and weekends away. But I can only do every other weekend.

I am easy going and friendly (well like to think I am!!) and happy to walk in a group or with any individual. I often have a dog with me.

Just joined this site April 11 so hope people get in touch.
Have fun Jules.

I am a Walker, in my late 40s, based near Crawley.

My Message: Hi
I am a fit, happy, easy going and healthy man who probably doesn't look much like your typical walker, looking for a lovely lady to share some of this beautiful country of ours with. I got the bug for walking again a couple of years back and do as much as I can, some nice long day walks, weekends and also a bit of wild camping during the warmer months, I enjoy planning the walks, as well as walking them and some of the places I have been to along the south cost are far too nice not to share. Not into walking groups or clubs, kind of defeats the object for me as it is so nice to be away from all that. I enjoy some good conversation /debating /laughing along the way and also a nice pub or 2 always helps. I am based in the south and know some lovely walks around the South east but am willing to travel anywhere (within reason) to share some more great days out and learn some from you. If you have liked what you have read it would be great to hear from you.

I am a single Female, aged 54. Young at heart, and fairly fit. I live in the Swaledale area of North Yorks, and enjoy walking, taking photos along the way if posssible. I have a small very friendly dog, that loves the walks I take her on too.

If your interested in joining us at any time, please feel free to contact me.
We are a dog friendly group, so good pooches are welcome. I also like the Lake district area, and would like to meet people for walking in that area too.

Have a good Summer everyone.
Sue.

I am a Walker, in my mid 40s, based near Lytham.

My Message: Hi, I have recently started walking with my Dogue de Bordeaux ( the 'Hooch' dog from the film Turner and Hooch ). Although she is great company, the conversation is a little one sided and I do feel I now need adult company whilst walking.
I needed to find an activity that could include the dog as she is left 'home alone' during the week and therefore walking fits the bill perfectly.
My availability for walks is every other weekend as I have my children alternate weekends.
I am looking for like minded, free spirited, good company, that has no objection to a very friendly, well behaved dog 'tagging' along.
