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

My Message: Hi there,my name is Sally and I'm 38 yrs old. I really enjoy the great outdoors especially walking and am looking for new buddies to join me along the way. I regularly walk in the Peak District, Wales and along the welsh coast but am happy to walk anywhere which brings along a pub lunch and a beer at the end with a nice view. I am fairly fit and active so longer distances are not a problem. Hope to hear from all you avid walkers soon!!

Box No: 102516

I am a Walker, in my early 60s, based near Hemel Hempstead.

My Message: Recently retired professional male who can’t stand being indoors.
I usually do a couple of grade 3-4 walks a week and I hope to build-up to at least one 2/3 day walk each week, grade 5-9, in all weathers, over the winter months. I would prefer these to be mid-week but this is flexible. I’m looking for similar minded companions seeking to improve fitness, navigation, and hill-savvy skills. This is as much for safety reasons as for those deep philosophical conversations on climbs of 1000+ feet.

I’m no Bear Grylls – I have a modern campervan than I use as a base for longer trips but I consider the local Travelodge/BandB to be mandatory for sleeping! The van provides a neat facility for setting the heating on automatic timer and my must-have:- freshly brewed coffee.

I’m based in Hertfordshire and East Kent so I have a long drive to find any decent hills. You are bound to be en route to most of the national parks so location and lack of transport shouldn’t put you off. I’m not all climbing and route-marches, and expect to include wild-life reserves and historical places in any itinerary – but no shopping malls! You should expect to budget £50-£100 expenses for each trip.

I have no fixed plans or destinations, although the Munros in January are out, same for the Alps.
Let me know if you are interested and we can have a trial stroll up Box Hill or similar.

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

My Message: Hi there,
I'm looking for female companions to keep me company while i'm out and about on my wanderings. Quite shy initially but fine once I get going. I love all kinds of walks from difficult to very easy and perhaps followed by a spot of food and a glass of something refreshing. Usually try and stick to the Brecon beacons and Black mountains, but also open to perhaps camping or even a BandB if I travel away. I also love a bit of landscape photography so sometimes take my camera along for the day..
Get in touch if you're up for a stroll some time :)

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

My Message: Hi, I am Sarah and I would like to find a walking companion. I am easy going, I love the countryside and all the wonderful things it has to offer and want to get out there to enjoy it. Although I am reasonably fit, I have not done much walking to date so I would like to do some shorter local walks to start off with to toughen up my feet and then extend the distance and the areas walked over time. Perhaps evening walks would be a possibility while the lighter evenings are here (although daytime walks are also fine). I like to appreciate the scenery and beauty around me when walking and would like to share this with a like minded person. I am always happy to round the walk off with a visit to local pub or tea shop.

Box No: 101928

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

My Message: I have lived in the UK for 7 years and have come to know the Cornish walking trails very well with a few forays to Dartmoor and the South Devon coast. I would like to expand this and am very keen to explore further afield, both in the UK and Europe. I am a doctor with a rather busy job, but can take time off to travel and intend to do more of this. My rather angelic Border Collie usually accompanies me with great enthusiasm and generally gets on with everyone he meets. I am hoping to meet walkers from all areas, I would be interested in joining group walks or others who walk singly. I previously lived in Cape Town, and climbed Table mountain and the mountains of the Western Cape extensively, thus I have a pretty good degree of fitness and can manage long distances and inclines, I do not climb with equipment or up rock faces but up to almost anything else.

I am a Walker, in my early 70s, based near Palmers Green.

My Message: Hello I am a weekend rambler (10 to 12 miles usually) and occasional long distance trail walker. I'm interested in exploring new areas as well as the Home Counties where I sometimes lead walks for a club. I am quite fit for my age and trying to remain so. I live in a North London suburb with my daughter. I worked until recently; now semi-retired, I have more time for walking and would like to have a companion on some of the reconnaissance walks I do. Several of my long-established friends have moved away, hence this appeal. Two drawbacks to note: (a) I don't drive and (b) I'm active in Labour and Co-operative politics (though I don't go on about it). I've recently taken up urban as well as country walking, linking with architectural interests. I do voluntary work as trustee of a countryside conservation organisation and an historic house trust in addition to some neighbourhood commitments in north London.

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

My Message: Hi,

I’m a black female who’s a total beginner at walking. I’m looking for single male - but I’m not looking for a date :-), or female friends to go walking with. I live in central London and I’m pretty open about where we go walking as I don’t mind sharing petrol costs to get to the walk if you drive. I don’t really know where the ideal places are to go walking so I’m looking someone who would be willing to plan and lead our walk. I’m down to earth and chatty and don’t mind if we end up in a country pub afterwards for a well deserved meal/drink. I’ve ticked the areas that I’ve heard of but I don’t mind going somewhere new.

So c’mon, get in touch and lets go walking! :-)

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

My Message: Hi I am Ellen, widowed and live near Hinckley (Leicestershire) although Scotland is my native home. I am looking to make new friends and perhaps find someone special who has a similar outlook on life to me. I enjoy all sorts of walking and have just completed the West Highland Way climbing Ben Nevis as a finale. I have recently been trekking in Nepal in the Annapurna Range BUT I am equally happy exploring the hidden parts of the UK.

My other interests are running, keeping fit, gardening and most things involving the outdoor life. I also enjoy travel to far flung places.

I have a strong sense of adventure and look forward to hearing from anyone who finds my profile interesting!!

I'm Claire, 47 and reasonably fit living in North Hampshire and wanting to walk more, mainly in my localised area at weekends but also happy to go further afield with longer days. Local groups like Ramblers aren't really my thing as prefer a faster pace and smaller groups, one/two people, good conversation and have fun and fresh air. Currently walking about 8-10 miles but wanting to do more and explore new areas. Haven't read maps for years but happy to learn.

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

My Message: Hi - I've done quite a bit of walking in the past but have been lazy over the last few months! I have booked a fairly strenuous walking holiday in September though so need to get back out there and to build up my fitness again. I like to walk mainly in my locality but open to the odd weekend away, or longer day trip. Ideal weekend walks will be 7-14 miles, once I've got my fitness levels back but probabaly wise to start with about 6-8 miles if I don't want to suffer afterwards too much! I mainly walk at the weekends but can sneak the odd half day during the week.

I live in London and am looking for fellow walkers to explore the countryside with on weekends.
I love to get my hiking boots on whenever I can.
I like doing walks in the counties around London, but I'm also looking to go further afield now that the weather is getting nicer and the nights longer.
So drop me a line if you're interested.

I am a Walker, in my mid 30s, based near Milford Haven.

My Message: Hi there,
I've only recently signed up to this and though it looked like a great idea to find like-minded people that may wish to join me out and about someday.
I'm 36, single and live / work in Pembrokeshire, West Wales.
I've always been keen to explore the great outdoors, and I'm always up for new challenges, however until recently I probably haven't made as much of an effort as I should have done. The fact that most of my friends don't share my passion for the outdoors has restricted me to a certain degree but I've decided to put that right!! So, hopefully I'll find willing companions to enjoy an afternoon / weekend walk or challenge sometime, perhaps with the prospect of lunch afterwards, who knows???
Failing that, I'll head out alone - I've decided our great countryside has too uch to offer to simply let the chance go by
If you're interested in joining me someday then I'd love to hear from you, and hope you'll get in touch before tooo long, thanks, Gregg
