I am a Male Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Stoke On Trent.

My Message: Prefer to walk in smaller than larger groups, so looking to make acquaintance of both Men and Women as walk companions. Have very recently walked 16+ miles around Wenlock Edge in Shropshire, but happier generally with around 10 to 12 miles. Part-retired and only work 3 days a week now (the one consolation of getting older I have found) so available Thursday to Sunday. Have my own car. Preferred walking areas/counties are just the most accessible from where I live in Stoke on Trent, but open to other venues which might need an overnight stop or a weekend away

I am a Female Walker, in my late 50s, based near Abergavenny.

My Message: Hallo! I'm Lorna, a 57 year old teacher, living in South Wales. I love being outdoors, have a Welsh border collie (Tom) and am a really keen walker. I like hill and coastal walks, a comfortable distance for me is 7 to 13 miles. I also love cycling and folk music (not together!). It would be great to meet some like-minded friends. I'm in a relationship so not looking for a partner! I'm happy to walk in a group or with one person.

I am a Male Walker, in my early 70s, based near Ledbury.

My Message: Hi,
I'm Colin, and there is so much of the three counties (Hereford / Worcester / Glos) countryside waiting to be found and savoured, that I just know that without a companion to set some days with, they'll remain unexplored.
So I'm relying on some like minded soul to help me to rescue my best intentions and enjoy a gentle countryside walk or even a ramble over the Beacons.
And me?
Well, I continue to work in the forest world and won't see 70 again, but this is no deterrent as I keep fit by cycling, playing tennis & badminton plus a enjoyment of orienteering. My ever (mostly) patient wife of some 37 years sadly does not share my enthusiasm for stretching the joints, but is quite relaxed about finding a companion - a situation which has worked well in the past.
Keeping my fingers x'ed......

I am a Male Walker, in my early 60s, based near Hebden Bridge.

My Message: Hi there. Recently really started to enjoy walking, trying to do the 1000 mile challenge this year, phew !
Walk with my labrador and so far we have done 1/2 of the pennine way ( I live 200 yards off it ). Just doing day walks, cant be bothered with camping as I'd have take about 5 kilos of dog food as well.
We're off to Middleton in Teesdale during June to try and add more miles conquered on the Way. Looking for someone to share day walks all over the place really, between 6 and 15 miles are our norm. Have tried a couple of walking groups, but think I may have been unlucky as they all seemed very retentive ( if you get my meaning) about their walks. I just want to enjoy the views, the countryside, take lots of photos and see new places. So if you're anywhere near Hebden Bridge then please get in touch. Many thanks for looking.

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

My Message: Hi
My name's Kate and I'm really interested in improving my walking skills and seeing and enjoying much more of the outdoors, both at weekends and also when I'm free mostly at weekends but sometimes during the week. I'd really like to try new walks and challenges, beginning in the places I've mentioned. I would enjoy some company for this and to maybe have time to have a drink/coffee and chat with, at the end of a walk. I am very interested in meeting people to walk with who might introduce me to new walks, but in a low key, not too serious way. I hope to find folk who want to try regular outings for fun and adventure and to take in as much scenery as possible. Please get in touch if any of this this resonates with you. I shall look forward to hearing from you. Kate

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 30s, based near Harrogate.

My Message: Hi, I'm Richard, 35, single and living in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. I enjoy getting out into the countryside for walks, especially the nearby Yorkshire Dales and my favourite part of the country the Lake District. I enjoy photography and always have my camera out on my walks. I enjoy both short walks with a country pub to end, or longer more challenging walks with a peak or two or three! I've recently decided to complete the 214 Wainwrights, but am looking to do the best walks rather than just the quickest routes. Would be up for some camping as well, now that spring is arriving. It would be nice to meet like minded people, especially any females looking for a walking partner.

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 20s, based near Neston.

My Message: Hi I'm Ross, I'm 29 and based on the Wirral.

I get out walking most weeks (mainly weekdays) and mainly in Snowdonia or The Peak District currently but interested in venturing further afield to The Lake District when time allows. I'm looking for someone to share this great hobby and my experiences with (male or female) and for a bit of company on the hills/mountains. I'm happy with any sort of level, however tend to go a bit mad some days and leave myself a bit fragile for a few days afterwards. Like to bag a few peaks and summits on my days out rather than rack up distance.

If you'd like to join me then get in touch!

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

My Message: Hi my name is Richard, I am a keen North Kent/London runner and walker of 57 years. I like nothing more than to explore the great outdoors on foot. Its funny I started walking some years back and when realising I was not as fit as I thought I started to run to improve my hill stamina and caught the bug. I have walked all over the UK either in groups or solo including the West Highland Way, half of the Southwest Coastal Path and half of Offa’s Dyke, I’d love to finish these walks one day. The South Downs Way was a great walk achieved in chunks. I have been very interested for a long time and admired the achievements of others who have climbed Mount Everest and finally achieved a lifetime ambition with friends and trekked to Everest Base Camp a few years back, why…’because its there’. I am just back from a trek to Machu Picchu, an incredible life experience. So, where to now, looking for a new challenge with new company.

I am a Male Walker, in my late 60s, based near London.

My Message: Hi, male walker 68 from the London area. Like walking in Derbyshire as a preference as it is an easy drive from London but Yorkshire is good as are the Brecons. I normally camp as I have a 3 1/2 year old black Labrador so BandBs are not always an option. Have done the likes of Hadrian's Wall, Yorkshire 3 peaks, North Downs and the Brecons in the past but 10/15 miles a day are enough nowadays, especially with the dog. Will be visiting Derbyshire in May and normally stay in Hope and would not mind finding a companion to spend a day or so with. Sorry, but not sure how to attach a photo!!

I am a Male Walker, in my late 50s, based near Cheshire.

My Message: HI, Late 50’s single male walker looking to meet up with a female kindred spirit.
Reasonably experienced and fit I can walk an occasional week end, but mainly midweek.
Although the Peak district is nearest to me I am willing to travel to new walks in different areas.
An inspiring, energetic hike, whether in the hills or following local footpaths with a packed lunch followed by a pub meal is a day well spent, and better shared.
So if you're local or further a field and think we may get along, I look forward to hearing from you.

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

My Message: I enjoy walking most weekends in Wales and the Lakes and the rest of the North West in summer, and further afield on holiday.
In winter I like walking abroad. Map reading is not a strong point so normally walk with groups or friends and have walked parts of several of the long distance footpaths, particularly enjoyed the Wales Coastsl path as well as quite a few Wainwrights.

I enjoy urban walks too and would like to meet someone whose map reading skills are better than mine and shares my passion for the great outdoors.
Other passions include travelling, 80s music, theatre, foreign cinema, cake, chocolate and languages.
I am based in Merseyside and happy to meet for a day walk in the area or further afield.

I'm a very keen walker and will go anywhere within 100 miles for day walks or anywhere in the UK for weekends away/short breaks. I'm hoping to meet a lady between the ages of 46-58 for friendship initially and if the chemistry is right between us then hopefully we can become more than good friends. I'm looking for someone who enjoys walking and a good chat and a laugh and maybe have a drink/bar snack at a nice country pub afterwards. If you are interested, why not get in touch. Ray

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

My Message: Hi,
Looking for someone or people to walk with (male or female). I enjoy a challenge and have just got back into walking regularly. I've done about 120 Wainwrights, the West Highland Way, the Arran Coastal Way, various chunks of the Cumbria Way, South Coast path and the Pennine Way in the past and recently walked for a week in the Brecon Beacons. Would love to do another long distance path though. I adore the west coast of Scotland and try to get a regular fix however brief.
I enjoy thoughtful and interesting conversation as well as a good chuckle at the ridiculous, and always appreciate a chance to stop and look at the wonderful things in this world, rather than charging right through it. I work Monday to Thursday so happy to walk any day over the weekend.
I enjoy the arts, music, reading and creative writing, but am rarely happier than when I'm on top of a hill.

Good Wishes
Happy Walking

Di
