I am a Male Walker, in my early 40s, based near Newcastle.
My Message: Hi I'm Dave, an active 43 yr old looking for walking/camping companions both male and female. I have been walking for quite a few years now, mainly in Northumberland, Lake District and Scotland. I am pretty well experienced and know my way around quite a few places. Working offshore gives me a lot off time off to venture off into the great outdoors, there's nothing better. I am very interested in trying out some wild camping, hoping to do it very soon in fact, so if anyone is looking for company give me a shout, I have never tried it but I am in the process of getting the kit together.
I am married with 2 children, my 8 yr old boy is already into Wainwright double figures, he often joins me and is great company on the fells.
I also enjoy cycling, running and would try most outdoor activities. If you are interested in joining me for a hike or a wild camp please get in touch.
Many thanks.

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 40s, based near Stirling.
My Message: Hi, I'm looking for company, male or female, on walks locally or further afield, weekend breaks or walking holidays.
I enjoy hills and flat walks of any distance, also cycling (off road), and usually have a couple of dogs tagging along. Scrambling is always a challenge I'm up for, but not anything too scary, not keen on massive drops!
I'm keen to do more long distance, multi day walks, preferably with BandB or hostel/bunkhouse accommodation. I've done a few Explore walking holidays, which have been great fun, and I'd love to try some of the cycling holidays or self guided walks abroad.

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Chulmleigh.
My Message: Hi folks,
I live in North Devon and I'm looking for someone - primarily - who would like to join me on Dartmoor for either day-walks or backpacking trips/wild camping, though fully prepared to go further afield.
I have a fair knowledge of Northern Dartmoor and am fully able to get lost there with the best of them!
I suppose I could call myself a Mountaineer. I've climbed and walked in the Himalayas, Caucusses, Pyrenees, North Africa and the Andes (they're at the end of your armies) and have been wandering around the UK mountains since childhood. I'm also an average mountain-biker (in that I fall off frequently). Quite keen on Via Feratta too.
I like to think that I'm relatively fit, and would be happy with walks of any distance.
Oh, and my name's John. If all this doesn't put you off nothing will!

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Aberdeen City.
 My Message: Hello,
My names is James and I am a Scot. I live and work in Aberdeen.
Synopses of my out-door life:-
Been walking and hiking all over Scotland for the past years. I normally try and get away as much as possible, both winter and summer. I have a Camper-van that I take with me every-time I can get away.
My plans are usually structured in a pattern that involves getting to the location of the climb, park-up Hovis (camper-van) and start the climb. I normally try and ensure that the route will take in a night or two of - wild camping under a canvas - listening to a menacingly howling gale on the outside while quietly thinking (praying) "have I hammered my tent pegs in the ground well-enough to out-last the storm on the outside:) I also use Bothy's if they are on my route, and - hope when I stumble across one that there is stone fireplace inside, where I can try and get a fire up and running - and hopefully try and get the surrounding stone warm enough for some heat-retention that might last the night. I also try and structure a night in my plan to factor in a bunk-house and / or Youth-Hostel. After my climb I head back to my start position, pick up Hovis and head away to the next random location. I spent a few weeks last year in Skye doing exactly this, however-I still never achieve all my ambitions that this truly beautiful location has to offer. My plan this year 2015 is to go back and carry on where I left off.
The type of person that I enjoy spending my time with on this wonderful pursuit is a person that is:- full of life, and is not put off with some rough days of challenging Scottish weather. In addition to this, I would like to get some addition wild camping experience in with someone who also enjoys battling the elements.
I have various interests which range from Genetics to how the universe operates and the day to day challenge we have to overcome each day of this amazing world we all live in. I also enjoy the company of people who specialise in all aspects of things outdoors. Geology along with the basics of human Physiology also interest me.
So if you are up for cold weather, a night or two in my camper, the odd Bothy, bunkhouse and youth-hostel or sitting on top of the Cuillins watching the sun go down please let me know and we can perhaps arrange to share some truly amazing events that we receive as gifts from an entity we call nature. A force that shares - each and every day of this vast structure of our planet we all live on.
Motto:- There is no such thing as bad weather, only inadequate clothing :)
Thanks James.

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Carlisle.
My Message: Hi, I am Simon a 55 year old male from Carlisle. I love the outdoors and the hills and mountains in particular. I live close to the Lakes which I adore, but my greatest passion is for the Scottish Highlands, in particular the far north west, with Skye and Torridon being my favourites. I have to confess to being a 'bagger. ' I also enjoy a good scramble. However, I enjoy shorter and less strenuous walks along glens and valleys and along beaches and headlands.
I am out in the Lakes regularly and go to the Highlands as often as I can. I have made a number of bothy and camping trips, as well as staying in hostels and B and B's. The odd foray to Snowdonia has usually met with bad weather, but I live in hope.
I am looking for a female who enjoys exploring the wild and beautiful mountainous areas of our islands, and shares my passion for reaching the top.

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 40s, based near Near Blairgowrie.
My Message: Hi, I'm a 50 something! bloke that loves walking, we are not talking mountain climbing here, just nice easy to strenuous walks. I keep fairly fit and walk/cycle whenever I can. I used to take my dog with me everywhere, but sadly I lost my old faithful friend a couple of weeks ago, so if you have a dog that's great. I am self employed and can go out and about more or less whenever the urge takes me! I am looking for a female walking companion, because walking with somebody to chit chat to is a lot more fun. I am no orienteering expert and tend to rely on idiot guides, being an idiot I find them simple to follow!! I live in the blairgowrie area.

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 40s, based near Peterborough.
 My Message: Hi, My name is Rob and I live in Peterborough. I'm easy going and love good conversation, interested in all sorts of things and always interested to learn. I used to be a member of a local club but the large numbers and the clickyness (is that a word) that you seemed to get, put me off. I love walking in Derbyshire and the lakes. I have climbed the old man at Coniston and two years ago did Tyfan in Wales by the North face (although to be honest I was out of my comfort zone at times). The club I was in regualary did 10-13 miles walks but I havent' done this for a year or two so might have to build up the distance again. I would love to meet up with like minded females/males to get back into walking again at weekends as I work all week. I have a reliable car and dont mind travel as long as theirs a pint at a local pub at the end of the walk! I have basic map reading although very rusty and would like to get better at this again. I look forward to hearing from you.

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Nantwich.
My Message: Hi, I love to walk but don’t do enough, mainly because I no longer have a dog. I've climbed a few mountains in my time both at home and abroad and would dearly love to get back out there and share the joy with an interesting companion.
I run a consultancy business and have lots of interests from cooking to publishing and am interested in just about everything as long as it's not a long moan about politics. If you happen to be a male who's good company, likes to have fun with an optimistic attitude and a reasonable sense of direction (mine isn't the best but I could knock up decent rations if we get stuck…) and if our walks end up with a drink and bite to eat in the pub, I'm a happy bunny. I drive and can make time whether weekend or weekdays.

I am a Male Walker, in my late 60s, based near Norwich.
My Message: Retired 69-going-on-35 male ex teacher with caravan, tent, time and enthusiasm!
Looking to meet up with a compatible walker or two for friendship and shared trips. Currently working on Administrative County Tops (4 to do), Wainwrights (about 20 to do) and Munros (144 done). Also often fly to Mallorca, Madeira, Morocco for a walking break.
Have no commitments or baggage, so can take off for the hills at little or no notice.
Happy to walk solo on the hills, but would prefer company and someone to share the views. Someone also retired would be great. Oh and non-smoker and dog-free!
You don't have to be round East Anglia, I spend a lot of time in other parts of the country with my trusty little caravan, so could be anywhere, really. Do drop me a line...., you never know.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 50s, based near Lyndhurst /Exmoor.
 My Message: Hi I am a fairly fit heterosexual lady who would love to find a walking companion. I run a pub in the New Forest which is when I walk daily with my dogs but I spend alot of my time in Exmoor on my days off, where I also walk. I tend to walk much longer walks down there as obviously I have more time. I love taking time out to explore new areas especially Scotland which I have visited a lot but find it a bit lonely on my own all the time. I love staying in my camper in remote places and travelling around discovering new places in the British Isles. I would obviously like to meet the love of my life but to find a likewise person who is bright, loves the countryside, can cope with my dogs and enjoys walking with me would be great. I can walk up to 8 /10 miles easily and love picnics, or a visit to a pub. Anyone that would like to meet for a walk in the New Forest or Exmoor (or anywhere really.. there are so many places to see) please get in touch. I run from my pub a dog walk on the 1st Sunday in the month. Feel free anyone with a mut that would like to come along.

I am a Male Walker, in my late 40s, based near Sherburn In Elmet (Leeds).
 My Message: Hi ! My name is Warren and I am a hill bagger !
The higher the hill the better !
I usually go walking on my own with my dog “Rocky”!
I like a challenge when im walking, I like high hills and steep climbs and I like walking in all weathers !
Recently I have started to walk the Munros my first been An Teallach (via the scary ridge).
I has also climbed Ben Nevis via Carn Mor Dearg and I will be in scotland for a week again from the 11th of October stopping in Fort William and planning to climb all ten of the Munro’s in the "Mamores" region.
I drive a HGV for a large supermarket chain for a living so I work strange shifts and I have a lot of days off in the week but not many weekends off work.
I would like to meet a walking companion male or female that likes visiting the tops of hills. When I go walking I usually walk a circular route of any wear between 7 and 15 miles !
Sometimes after a long hard walk i like a pub dinner and a pint !

I am a Female Walker, in my late 50s, based near Western Isles.
 My Message: I am a 59 year old lady - relatively fit who loves walking anywhere. I love going on walking holidays in the UK and Europe and would like to travel further afield with walking being an important part of my holiday. I live in the Western Isles and do lots of walking in this area too. I am self employed, so I am very flexible with my time. I am looking for someone who has similar interests, who enjoys a good walk with perhaps some wine and a good meal at the end of it. I suppose you would call me a fair weather walker as I hate starting off a walk in the rain and can't see the point in plodding up a mountain if there isn't going to be any views once you get there, don't mind if it starts to rain once I've set off though. I like to take my time to enjoy the views when i'm walking in the mountains. I love all types of music (I'm a very amateur musician), would like to try some cycling again, enjoy a good book and like theatre. I don't do camping/caravanning - I prefer a comfy bed and other creature comforts at the end of a good day's walk. Like good beer and wine and am up for a laugh at any time. Life's too short to be too serious.

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Milborne Port.
 My Message: Hi
My Name is Geof. I am a 65 year male. Based in Milborne Port, Somerset. I like to walk at least one day a week, up to 8 - 10 miles typically at a reasonable pace if its easy going, a little less and more slowly if hilly. But I do like to stop and enjoy the scenery and the wildlife and usually with a pub visit somewhere on route.
I am free most weekdays and weekends for walks anywhere in the South Coast counties, and with the right company am interested in some longer walks in other parts of the country. I am retired so have all the time in the world for walking. I also recently bought a 33ft yacht, kept in the Solent, and like to sail as much as possible. Also have a motorhome which is an excellent basis for walking further afield anywhere in UK or Europe. I would like to find a companion to spend some time walking locally and further afield, as well as a first mate for sailing. Friendship, walking buddy, or more. Who knows?
