I am a Female Walker, in my early 50s, based near Cheshire West hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: I like nothing more than a day walk, any time of year, whatever the weather. I prefer a more challenging walk but strolls are welcome too. I love being amongst nature, I find it very calming and grounding after a set of shifts.

I'd like to find a fit walking friend who doesn't mind what the weather brings.
I am not looking for a relationship, just a likeminded individual to share some pleasant hikes with.

I enjoy ridge walks and have done the CMD arête, Crib Goch, Aonach Eagach and lots of the other main ones. Scrambling is a passion too - the Wildboarclough one is my favourite to date. I enjoy Snowdonia, Tryfan, Snowdon, The Glyders etc. I'm happy on flatter walks too - I was brought up in Lincolnshire! I like cycling too, I've a road and mountain bike. I have a car so travelling is no problem.

A bit more about me:

I love Scrambling & Edges - the more exposure the better. I'm happy to walk in all weathers - sunshine, snow, hail, wind & rain - bring it on. I'm not bothered about dogs one way or the other. To be honest, my map reading & navigation skills are a bit averagely average. I can drive and have a car.

I am also interested in:

• Road Cycling
• Mountain Biking

Important: For the avoidence of doubt I am definitely not looking for anything other than someone to go walking with.

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Cheshire hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Enjoy walking and off to Lakes for a few days on my own and found this site whilst searching for a couple of walks around Coniston and Ambleside. Have moved back to Cheshire recently and thought it might be interesting to find walking companions. Never thought about asking for walking companions.

Currently work in Liverpool during the week with a combination of working from home so tend to walk at night or weekends. Enjoy Cheshire walks and wider Walks in Wales, Lakes, etc and happy for 2-4 hour routes with a bit of variety but don't always want to drive to walk when I'm on my own. Generally expect to be available every other weekend.

Have kept active over lockdown and average around 20 miles a week but still have potential and ambition to lose a few pounds in walking more regularly. Don't really have a bucket list of walks but would be happy to join up and target specific walks or a series of walks.

I am a Male Walker, in my early 70s, based near High Peak hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: I've been walking mostly in the Peak District, where I live, and the Lake District recently. I've been ticking off Wainwrights and have only 8 to go and I've started on the Birketts. I'm a widower and retired so can walk midweek and have mostly been walking alone for a number of years. I'm very fit for my age and like longer mountain walks. I've also walked in France, Spain, Germany, Italy Greece and Turkey. I've even done a bit of sport climbing in the last few years - rock climbing was a passion many years ago. I've also rediscovered an interest in photography and have been a yoga practitioner for more than 30 years. I don't like walking in large groups unless it's just a social occasion (like a friends 80th birthday recently).

I am a Male Walker, in my early 60s, based near Darlington hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi, I am looking for fellow walkers to share the joys of the great outdoors with followed by a well earned beer or meal! I am fairly fit and for me I like being out being out there in the countryside listening to the birds. seeing the wild flowers, enjoying the views as much as bagging peaks - although this is always an added bonus. I am as happy in the lowlands, in the woods, by the sea as I am navigating my way across highlands and moorland. I am a reasonable navigator and I enjoy exploring off the beaten track. If any of this sounds appealing and you are willing to join me being out there in the wild enjoying the splendour of our countryside. I have my own transport and can walk occasionally mid week or at the weekend to suit.

My Message: Hi
I know nothing about walking/hiking! I am going to be climbing Kilimanjaro with my daughter next year and I want to start walking so that I can train for this trek. I have a new pair of hiking/mountaineering boots, a day pack and the will to learn! I am looking for anyone out there who is willing to walk with me. I'd like to start with a Grade 1 trek and work my way up to Snowdonia and everything in between. I am reasonably fit as I go to the gym with a strict PT 3 times per week. I can walk on Sundays because I work the other 6 days of the week. If you're wiling to take on the teaching of a novice, I'd like to hear from you, please!

My Message: Hi, I live in Warminster, Wiltshire. I am looking for both male and female walking companions. I am now retired which gives me free time during the week as well as weekends.

I am very happy to walk locally but also really wish to explore new areas. I have walked some sections of the South West Coast Path and West Wales Coast Path and would love to walk more.

I am not a hardened walker but enjoy walks from 5 to 12 miles and occasionally longer weekend/few days walking. To finish off occasionally with a pub meal is an attractive thought. I love the outdoors and really appreciate the countryside and scenery on route.

My Message: Hi, I love walking in the Lake District, have always loved the Lakes and mountains. In the last few years I've done some coast walking and really like that too.

Having moved to the Midlands about 6 years ago, I'd love to discover what the area has to offer.
I am retired now so have more time and I also keep myself fit by playing tennis.

My Message: Hi, I am looking to find companion to go for a walk. I work full time during the week so only have time to do walks on Saturdays/Sundays. I enjoyed walking in the Peak District and around Staffordshire Moorlands, but an easy stroll around villages or parks would be great too. Would like to walk again to Snowdonia and Lake District and open for possibilities to walk somewhere down south. I like taking photos every now and again with either my phone or my other cameras.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 30s, based near Cumbria hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi, mid 30s female looking to find new walking buddies. I live on the coast in the lake district and have only recently started to appreciate what I have on my doorstep. My fitness level is pretty average but I am hoping to build on this.
The fells are a challenge for me but once you get to the top the views just make it all worth while don't you think.
Although I do drive and have my own car, I am a nervous driver so tend to walk locally but hey the roads out to these cumbrian fells are pretty awful so if I can manage that I'm sure I can go further afield right??!
My availability to get out walking varies week to week due to my 2 tiny humans.
Due to starting my walking ventures in lockdown, I haven't yet had the opportunity to reward myself with some nice pub grub and a drink at these lovely country pubs that are dotted around, so looking forward to doing that with some nice company after a good walk.

I am a Female Walker, in my late 50s, based near Liverpool hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi

I'm based in Liverpool (Waterloo/Crosby) and have recently started to do some easy walking to ease myself gently into doing this. With a view to either doing this slightly more often or being able to tackle something a little more ambitious (nothing major though, ultimately it has to be fun).

I have in the past been a member of a rambling group which did some fairly substantial walks around the country but that's a long time ago. I'm now trying to get out and about a bit more and I'm currently working on my walking fitness which is probably around 2-3 hours walking at a reasonable pace. So I would class myself in the grades 2,3,4 at least for the moment (no real expectation to progress much further than 4). My current walking has been local but I do love to travel and I'm handily placed for such as the Lake District. My fitness is reasonable because I try to maintain this for skiing once or twice a year.

I work full time (weekdays) and also volunteer at an animal rescue on Sunday mornings. So I may only be available some Saturdays, maybe Sundays after 2pm, and occasional weekday evenings. Hopefully my occasional availability doesn't put anyone off.

It would be nice to meet like-minded people who like to get out and about whilst enjoying other people's company.

Hope to hear from you.

I am a Male Walker, in my late 50s, based near Penrith hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi,

I live on the fringe of the Lake District and enjoy walking most weekends and occasional evenings, especially when the sun is out and it seems a travesty to remain indoors. I'm a third of the way through completing the Wainwrights, although enjoy low-level walking as much as the heights.

Most of my friends are more into sailing or shopping than walking so I'm looking for people who enjoy getting out into the spectacular Lakes.

I love to discover new places to eat and drink, and am passionate about wild swimming.

My Message: Hi, I live in the South West and would like to meet people to walk with locally in Dorset and Hampshire. I work full time so can usually only manage weekends, but would also be interested in walking breaks/holidays in UK or Europe.

I'm reasonably fit and have walked in the Lake District, Snowdonia National Park, SW Coast Path, Ben Nevis, and walked the whole of Hadrian's Wall. I enjoy a bit of a challenge, and love to walk up mountains, so would really like to bag a few more when I get the chance.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 50s, based near Herefordshire/gloucestershire Border hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Do you crave to get out in the hills? Can you get to the Malvern Hills, the Brecon Beacons and/or Black Mountains?

If so, then I'd love to meet!

I live near Ledbury, about an hour's drive from the Brecons and am looking for some like-minded people to get out and explore with. Sadly, my closest friends live in the north, where I used to live, and Covid has made even occasional walking holidays a challenge, so I'm either walking alone or dragging my (sometimes willing, sometimes not so much) partner out with me.

In terms of fitness levels and navigation - I've never done crampons or climbing, so not ultra-intrepid, but I'm happy enough tackling several Brecon summits in a day with reasonable visibility. I've done Snowdon, Cadair Idris and a fair few of the Lakeland mountains. I'm still learning compass work but quite good at interpreting an OS map.

A bit of general stuff about me: I'm an Aussie by birth but lived here most of my adult life. I work part-time (I'm a web editor for a national health organisation) and could usually meet Tuesdays, Fridays or on the weekend. In terms of hobbies and interests, I've just finished a masters in creative writing and also do some voluntary work with men who have experienced mental health problems. I love bike riding, reading, good films and TV.

Oh and I love dogs but don't own one, so if you bring one on our walks: bonus!!

If any of this sounds like you, please get in touch.

A bit more about me:

When it comes to Scrambling & Edges I'm OK with the occasional edge or scramble but don't go looking for it. With regard to the weather, this is the UK so it's going to rain sooner or later isn't it? Fine with me, I've got waterproofs. I'm not bothered about dogs one way or the other. I'd say my map reading & navigation skills are pretty good. I can drive and have a car.

Important: For the avoidence of doubt I am definitely not looking for anything other than someone to go walking with.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 60s, based near Wigan hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi, my name is Julie, I am single, 61yrs old, a secretary in a school (so lots of lovely holidays) and enjoy walking. My friends unfortunately aren't really keen on walking and I would like to find either a female or male or small group of friends/like minded people to go out for the day or weekend exploring the countryside, preferably at weekends and build up my stamina. Would like to think I am good company, good fun, easy going, enjoy a good laugh and a lively debate. I do have a small dog, so must like dogs. Would really enjoy some good company and to the end the day in a nice pub with good food and a well earned glass of wine. ps I haven't done much walking for a while, so a little unfit.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 40s, based near Preston hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi,
I'm Catherine, 42 from Preston. I have done quite a lot of walking, mainly in the Lakes and North Wales but other areas too.I would like to do more in Scotland. I have also done some treks abroad. I have previously walked a lot with my parents but they are getting past the long and high stuff now. Also I met a great walking partner on here about 10 years ago but she has moved abroad for work! I'm now struggling to get out walking as I don't want to go by myself. I love anything outdoors, pretty much any weather. I love camping and a good pint after a walk. I'm looking for people in 30's/40's who would like to go on day walks to begin with to see how we get on. Anyway, drop me a line if you'd like to make contact and get out walking. Thanks

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Stockport hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hello ladies and gents. I am hoping to meet new friends, male or female, to accompany me on walks, long or short, in the wonderful British countryside. I enjoy walking locally, in the Peak District, but also love the Lakes, Dales and parts of Scotland and Wales. My favourite walks will usually involve a stop or two at a cafe or pub for rest and refreshments. I have completed many long distance walks and also run and cycle regularly. If anybody would like to share my company please get in touch.

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Bath hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: I love walking and want people to go walking and to socialise with. If we can get a good weather day and a view, all the better. I'd be happy to meet up with men or women for a day's walk, anytime soon. Also happy to join a group walk. At least it's something we can still do at this time.
I've walked the whole of the SWCP, circuit of the Isle of Wight, the South Downs Way and the Cotswold Way. I love walking in the Lake District and would love to do the Coast to Coast. Am also trying to the Wessex Ridgeway in single day trips from home. But I also love a blow on the Marlborough Downs or just an amble along the canal. Tea or a pub meal at the end is a bonus.
I'm retired and don't have any regular commitments except Wednesday evenings at the moment. I play tennis but don't want to appear super fit, just normal for a walker in her 60's! Am happy to travel to meet up with someone and hope it might be you.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 70s, based near North London hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi, my name is Julia. I am widowed, live in North London and am a keen walker for distances of about 5-10 miles. Over the past 5 years I have walked mainly in the Chilterns, but very happy to explore other areas in the SE and London area. Would love to do the Capital Ring if anyone in the London area is interested. Had a lovely walking holiday in Slovenia a couple of years ago. In the past I have done many walks in N Wales, Lake District, Scotland, French Alps.

I am retired, so available midweek and weekends, when not involved with U3A activities. I also enjoy painting, visiting art galleries, classical music, birdwatching.

I hope to hear from you!

I am a Female Walker, in my late 40s, based near Cannock hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hello. I'm Maria. I moved to Cannock Nov 2019 and it would be great to meet another female that I can go walking with. I live near Cannock Chase which is lovely for walks but would be even better with some female company. Because of Covid, it has been difficult to meet new people and make female friends with the same interests. My level of fitness is fairly good. I walk most days 2.5 miles on my own but I am happy rambling for up to 5 or 6 miles or more. I am friendly, easy going and have a good sense of humour. I'm positive but also a realist. I love animals, nature and music as well as TV and films. I love being outdoors in all weather. I can meet up evenings and weekends as I work 9 to 5 Mon to Fri. I must tell you that I'm not much of an early bird, so if meeting at weekends it would need to be after 10am. I dont drive but happy to get public transport to meet up if its local but I can be flexible. I do have a partner who drives and would be happy to drop me at a meeting point.
