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

My Message: Hi. I returned to the UK from Australia as I missed the countryside so much along with the heritage. I am looking for male or female companions to share my passion mainly at weekends as I work full time. I am building up my fitness walking on the forest (New Forest) and as much as I dont mind walking alone in the evenings it would be great to share my passion and see more of our stunning landscape at weekends. Im prepared to travel particularly to the west country. I like a chat but am also a lover of a comfortable silence so rest assured I wont irritate you! If you think we may gel please drop me a lline. Carol

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

My Message: Hi All,

47 year old fairly fit free agent here, wearing walking boots and wondering which way to turn…

I’m open to possibilities and am interested in building up a circle of ‘walking’ friends any where within reason in the UK. Does anybody know of a sociable walking group for professional people –in their 30’s, 40’s 50’s …if you do please let me know?

Love being out in the countryside at the weekends to escape a busy and often hectic working week.

Looking for interesting company, some fun, a few drinks and maybe a spark along the way. Oh and a good map reader with an attractive smile and hairy arms wouldn’t go a miss!

Look forward to hearing from anybody out there…

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

My Message: Hi - My name is Kate (40yrs) and I live in the Newbury/Hungerford area. I would love to hear from anyone (male/female) who is keen to take me under their wing and help me rediscover the joys of walking and the beautiful scenery and wildlife of the UK. You would preferably be au fait with a compass/map and confident to take the lead! I am reasonably fit, although there is room for improvement, as I have not walked for a while!! I am happy to travel in order to explore new routes. I am also partial to rounding off a walk with a visit to a good, old, traditional English pub or the like.

I also love horse riding and cylcling although have friends who are happy to join me in these activities. Whereas, walking appears to be rather a different matter for some reason, hence my message. Much more fun to walk in good company than alone!

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

My Message: Hi, I have always enjoyed walking in my home town, local woods and beauty spots but am now looking to walk for fitness and to discover new places, starting slowly and building up to longer adventures. I am easy-going with a good sense of humour and enjoying chatting about most subjects. I can only walk at weekends due to work and would ideally like to start in my local area before moving on to places like the Lake District or Scotland, so if you are a newbie like me or are willing to start slowly then I would be happy to hear from you. I love history so it would be good to combine some local history with a walk too.

Look forward to hearing from you. Ros

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

My Message: Hi. I live in London, but have started walking for the first time outside the South East. I am just beginning to see how beautiful my own country really is. I would like to do a long distance trail such as the Dales Way or the Cumbrian Way, staying in BandBs or youth hostels. I'm generally in good shape, but for me walking is to be enjoyed and views to be savoured, so I don't go in for forced marches or sprints! I would love to have a walking companion to share the views, lunch stops and tea breaks with. I'm OK with a guidebook and map, so if you're experienced with compass etc, so much the better!

I am a Female Walker, in my late 30s, based near Barrow-in-furness.

My Message: Hi, I am a single 37 year old fairly fit female who loves the outdoors and wants to get back into walking. I live in the Lake District so that it is my preferred area of walking. Although I would also be open to Snowdonia, Brecon Beacons and Scotland. I would like to do some of the Wainwright walks as well as maybe the coast to coast. I am happy to walk with anyone, male, female or groups. Confession time, I am a typical woman, I cannot read a map and have never used a compass but willing to learn! Prefer to do a full days walking but am also happy to do shorter walks. Definetly like to reward a full days walking with either a pub (with a roaring fire in winter and beer garden in summer) or a cafe selling home made stodgy chocolate cakes. I am around most weekends. If anyone fancys a walk drop me a line.
