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

My Message: Hiya I am 46 year old female looking for like minded walking companions.I have no ties so most weekends are free, and some weekdays if arranged in advance. Would like to be able to bring my dog too.
Want to get back into longer distance walking taking in areas of beautiful scenery and peaceful locations, pub/tea shop en-route always a good idea.
Have my own transport so distance within reason not a problem.
Have done a fair bit of walking/rambling over the years of varying degrees.

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Newport, Isle Of Wight.

My Message: Married man, 60's, ex-RN Serviceman, who maintains fitness through regular walking, seeks walking partners who would enjoy casual days out on an exchange basis, between his home area of the Isle of Wight, and their home area too! Preference for responses from married couples, or married solos, in the age range of 40 - 70 years, but all responses or replies from anyone wishing to make contact will be cordially acknowledged, thank you! A leisure walker who enjoys photography, nature and scenic contemplation, as well as pleasant and interesting conversation whilst out and about, I would be happy to exchange and share some acquaintance e. mail correspondence prior to meeting, as well as providing a photograph too, if desired! Will be delighted to introduce new friends to the scenic pleasures and interests of the varied Island countryside and coastal vistas, as well as also enjoying and learning more about their home areas too! Able to arrange weekday meetings, but Saturdays only at weekends, owing to Sunday commitments. Thank you very much for patiently reading this introductory and genuine request, and I will patiently anticipate and welcome any kind replies. With my appreciation, from Maurice. :-)

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Nr Bourton On The Water Glos.

My Message: Hi all... Looking for some walking company male/female in the Glos/Oxford area.
Have always enjoyed the out doors and have taken up walking quite seriously over this past year for health reasons ( diabetic type 2 ). Have done Pemb coast path, not all at once I hasten to add, Peny Fan and bits of the South West coast path, Malvern Hills plus many of the local walks where I live. Would love to do Snowden in the near future but not that experienced with map and compass as yet but practising and improving every time Im out.Using a Garmin GPS when compass work goes T*Ts up ( not got lost yet, thankfully ). I work shifts, working most week ends, the week ends Im off I spend time with my partner, she has no real interest in walking at all. Most of my free time is in the week, 4 complete days off together so plenty of time for walking. Woud be prepared to travel, car share, expenses etc.
I'm 5ft 5ins ( just ) and have a Noir sense of humour, so if you like good food, posh Italian, or just a plain bacon sarnie, good conversation ( I like to put the world right ) art,(Salvador Dali and Georgia O'keeffe particular favs) music ( classical,sacred music, dance & trance ) then Id like your walking company.

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

My Message: Hi. I live and work in Bristol. I really enjoy country walks and usually try to get out regularly between work commitments. (I'm self employed so often different times each week) My favourite places to walk are Dartmoor and the Devon/Cornwall coast path. I've almost finished walking the Two Moors Way which I hope to complete over the next few months and then would like to start on the coast path as a long term project. Mostly I walk near Bristol in the Cotswolds/Somerset and very occasionally in the Brecon Beacons and Wye Valley. I'm 51, not good enough with computers to be able to add a photo, but energetic and keen to try some new walks and make some new friends. Not too bad with map reading and prefer to go wrong occasionally than to use GPS - it's more fun with paper and compass! I love picnics, flasks of tea and pub lunches!

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

My Message: Hello, my name is Adrian. I have spent to long walking on my own, and would love to find someone likeminded to accompany me and my dog snip.
I have tried for many years to get my partner and daughter to come along. Not going to happen.
I'm self-employed so I'm good for short notice and any time walks.
I've spent most of my time walking Dartmoor, but I also used to live in Blackpool, so north Wales and the lake district was my home ground.
My love is long distance walking. Camping is still good for me, but I must admit, the older you get the more BandB s look inviting.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 30s, based near Lincoln.

My Message: Hi, I'm looking to meet like minded people for mini adventures! I am a very active person, enjoying walking/ hiking, cycling and tennis on a fairly regular basis (around a full time job!) I'm struggling to get together friends, who don't have 'small people' commitments, to join me for walks in the Peaks/ Lake District or any of the other beautiful countryside in the UK.
I don't mind joining a group or any individuals that fancy getting away for a couple of days, either at weekends or during the week. I'm open to camping, hostels, hotels, sleeping under the stars... the bigger the adventure the better!
If your interested in joining me and have a likewise sense of seeing the world, feel free to get in touch! Lyndsey

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

My Message: Hi,
I'm 52 yet young at heart and in body (well, I'd like to think so!) I live with a slightly mad spaniel called Alba (my current walking buddy) and the occasional child when they need to escape London for the countryside. Alba and I would very much like to find some new friends to walk with, locally as well as further afield. I particularly like exploring coastal paths (have walked a small section of the SW coast path whilst on holiday in Sennen Cove this Summer) although woodland walks and moorland rambles are also favourites. I look forward to sharing the walks that I love in my beautiful home county of Somerset and being shown those favourites of my new walking friends. I think I should point out that I'm more of a rambler who welcomes the promise of a pub lunch or cream tea at the end of a spot of moderate exercise... hard core Trekkers might find me a disappointing partner therefore!
Angie.
PS: Alba would like a walking partner too, but she's equally happy with either a solo human or one with a canine friend :)

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

My Message: Hi there, I'm new to the site, and fairly new to walking. Used to do a lot, and really keenly! Am now what could be termed as 'rusty', but very keen to start serious walking again, both for the company and for the exercise. I'm no good walking alone, and don't have a dog to drag me out and about, so am looking for male/female walkers who enjoy a good chat whilst they walk, and maybe a bite to eat as reward at the end of the trek!

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

My Message: Hi,
My name is Rosemary, 53yrs old and I'm a novice to walking. I have walked up Snowdon and around the Forest of Dean and Clent Hills and would like to expand my walking adventures. I am a operating theatre sister and do work weekends but also have them off and days off in the week, so can be flexible. I enjoy walking, but not so much fun on your own. I love a challenge, and need a bit of a push at times. So if any one would like to guide me to expanding my walking experiences I would be most grateful.

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

My Message: I would love to do coast walks in Devon or Cornwall although am happy to walk other places. On my bucket list is walking the s.w coast path probably in small bits. I have own transport to get where ever. I do still work so would have to fit around this.
It would be good to walk with someone male or female confident to 'navigate' as this is what puts me off of walking to far alone.
More than happy to combine a walk with pub lunch and pint or glass of wine.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

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

My Message: I live in the foothills of the beautiful Berwyn Hills and love being in the countryside and related pursuits ie canoeing, horse riding, mountain biking, though I would also like to discover other places in UK, Ireland and continent.
. I like to walk anywhere up to ten miles in most weathers. Taking bit of time to stargaze, inspect the insects, smell the flowers is also important, not just the mileage clocked up. I would like to meet a like-minded single male aged 49 to 65 to enjoy these things. Prefer B&B rather than camp, though am not averse to one night in a tent (summer only). I have varied interests and like conversation. My other hobbies are jive dancing, table tennis, badminton and body surfing amongst many. Look forward to hearing from you. Kim

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

My Message: Hi. I am relatively new to this walking malarky so I am looking for strolling partners, male and female, who are a similar age to myself (hopefully I will be able to keep up that way!) and who can introduce me gently into this wonderful pastime. Unfortunately my friends haven't fallen in love with hill walking as I have so this seemed the perfect way to meet and make new friends.
I am a single straight female who works far too hard during the week so I need to escape my cell (pet name for my office incase you were getting worried!) at the weekends and there is no better way of doing that than exploring this beautiful country whether that be walking or cycling.
The Lake District has to be my all time favourite but I am happy to be proven otherwise! I am easy company and would appreciate buddies with a crazy sense of humour and zest for life that would match my own! Looking for walks that range from 5-10 miles although happy to do more if necessary and like most on here I enjoy the mandatory pit stop at a pub or tea room! If you can identify with any of the above it would be lovely to hear from you.

I have just discovered this website and it seems pretty genuine, I've not registered for romance, I have registered for a walking buddy, who is good company and happy to get out there, I'm 48, happy to attempt any area for walking but I am full time, single mum, teach amazing teenagers at Sunday school so time is pretty limited - mainly to a Saturday ;)
My previous walking experience includes Snowdon, Skarfel, Pen Y Fan, Kili and I thank my beautiful grandad that he used to take me for amazing walks as a kid - anyway if there is anybody who fancies helping encourage me train for Toubkal please drop me a post! Have a great week!

My Message: Hello, I've recently moved to West Cornwall from London and looking forward to exploring new areas of the South West (Cornwall primarily but also Devon and Somerset). My favourite type of walks are coastal, but I also enjoy the contrast of deeper countryside and moors. Stopping off for a quick visit to the pub or cup of tea is never a bad thing, in my opinion!

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

My Message: Hi, I'm James from North Devon. Walking has really helped me to recover my strength and stamina after a long period of illness. Dartmoor is right on my doorstep and I have been making a determined effort this year to get to know it better. Wild camping on the moor has a deeply therapeutic effect on me - underlining the importance of keeping things simple and in balance.

I usually walk alone, my friends are usually busy, and I think some company would be nice. Dartmoor is a wonderful playground that I would never tire of but I am happy to try anywhere in the UK that I can reach by train. I have a spare tent that I can lend out if you are not sure whether camping is your thing but would like to give it a go without spending lots of money. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 50s, based near Tucson, Az Usa.

My Message: Hello Walkers (female & male)

I'm a desert-dwelling American hoping to arrange some walks for a holiday upcoming this summer. My dates are 27 June until 13 July. The only date I'm unavailable to walk is 3 July, when I have a London meeting.

Though I have some interest in Hadrian's Wall, I am open to walking in any part of the UK to which I can take public transport or hitch a ride, and where a good pint is never far off. I'm keen to find good company and lots of 'exotic' (non-arid!) scenery.

So, if you're looking for a walking buddy, or care to be a tour-guide for a visitor, please drop me a line!

Best,

Leigh

My Message: Hello everyone, I have recently moved into the Shropshire area and looking to get more active with walks and hikes. I have seen and been on a few walks but would like some company to while away the hours chatting while burning up the miles. I am quite new to it all so will probably need some time to get my fitness levels up, but I am willing to put in the hours at the weekend and some evenings depending where I am with work.

Thank you for reading hope to hear back from people.

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

My Message: I live in Essex and later on this year I am doing a charity trek in Vietnam. So at the moment I am trying to get lots of walks in! Typically I walk about 10 miles but it's fairly flat where I live so I'd like to go a bit further afield and it would be good to have some company. I work part-time so sometimes walk on weekdays, sometimes weekends. I walk in Essex, but also like the South Downs as it's a bit more hilly!
