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

My Message: I enjoy walking especially if it involves hills: Pennines, Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors, would also like to explore the munros. I have tried solo walking and group walking, like both, but looking for a happy medium that may involve packed lunch, pub lunch, rain or snow. I am reasonably active and enjoy watching rugby. Just looking for a male walking companion of a similar age.

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

My Message: Hi. I'm a keen walker, with a very friendly and even more enthusiastic springer spaniel companion. Having just taken early retirement I'm looking for new friend(s), male or female, to walk with at anytime but especially during the week. Whilst I love blue skies and balmy weather, I'm happy to walk in pretty much anything Mother Nature cares to throw at us ! And fantastic though a well earned hot drink from a thermos at the top of a hill is, I also enjoy the prospect of a coffee in a cafe or even a pub meal at the end. I have a car and whilst I am particularly fond of the Yorkshire Dales, I'd be happy to travel to explore new areas, especially with a new friend as a guide. Thanks for reading and please get in touch. Bev.

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

My Message: Having recently lost my regular walking buddy to a new romance I am looking for a companion who is keen to share ' Days to remember'! I am lucky to have lots of friends locally who enjoy sharing the great outdoors but I am keen to find a special someone who will perhaps have time to walk more of the world with me. I do have some basic navigational skills which I am keen to develop alongside a trusted companion who would be happy to face those unexpected times of adversity together and find rays of sunshine in wet mountain days!
I generally love to be active and outdoors and am always curious to see what's around the corner. I am as happy walking to the end of the road on a moonlit night as I am to share a wet dog by an open fire or a view from a bivey bag bed on a mountain top!
I live near the Dartmoor national park but have walked in the Pyrenees, Scotland, Wales and the Lakes and would be happy sharing adventures around the UK and Europe although I might be persuaded to go further afield.

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

My Message: I am just getting back to walking again after a good few years bringing up my children. I don't really want to be in a large walking group so thought I'd try this site to find someone who I could go walking with and help remind me what I used to love so much. I would prefer someone who was quite experienced and knew what they were doing with maps and compasses as, although I'm not bad at map reading, I used to leave it to my ex partner. I always loved walking in Arran and have climbed a few munros in my time. I am available mostly at weekends and some weekdays during school holidays.

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

My Message: Hi, I live near Glasgow and would like some company to explore new places walking and cycling. I like the chat but I am not keen on large walking groups so thought I would give this site a go. I am relatively fit and while I like the challenge of getting to the top for the views I also enjoy gentle walks and the relaxing well earned drink at the end of the day in a pub or a good tea room. I have done various walks in Scotland and the Lake district but useless at navigation relying on previous walking partners to make sure I got back home, another good reason I don't walk alone. So please get in touch if you also want some company, I work full time so only available at weekends.

My Message: Hi, I'm Angus, an experienced hillwalker. Looking for some female company on the hills. Love the Lake District and currently trying to do all the Wainwrights... at a fairly leisurely rate it has to be said as I still have 150 something to go! But happy to walk elsewhere in the north of England and south of Scotland. Usually available midweek and the occasional weekend. Like a good scramble - Blencathra by Sharp Edge is brilliant - and a cosy pub at the end of the day. Let me know if this sounds good to you.

I am a Male Walker, in my late 20s, based near Ross-on-wye.

My Message: Hi there - my name's Alec and I'm 27yrs old. I currently live in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire. I'm an avid outdoors guy looking to develop a new circle of friendship with like-minded individuals - very mature for my age. Happy to walk one-on-one or as part of a group. I'm very sociable and very much enjoy a good challenge.
I'm looking for somone to go hiking/trekking with all over the place - not going to restrict myself to one area. I like to 'get away' I must admit. Love to get out and explore and whilst I've not been camping for a while, would certainly do this with the right person/people. Happy to take on all sorts of hikes/treks - whether strenuous or moderate. Am open to travelling to meet etc and vice versa.
Am looking for mid-length / long-distance walks - 10 miles +. Am doing the Mountain Trail Challenge in Brecon Beacons on 12/09/15. Am also looking to do the 3 Peaks Challenge next year so need to increase fitness etc. Definitely enjoy good conversation and a drink at the end (or a cheeky pitstop) of a walk to socialise and get to know people better.
If you're interested in arranging something, please do get in touch. I'd love to hear from you. Cheers, Alec

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

My Message: I'm a 59 year old man who has enjoyed hillwalking for much of my adult life. I'd prefer to do this in good company, male and female, rather than on my own. I'm not a 'peak bagger' or record keeper/breaker, preferring to tarry occasionally to take in the beauty of what is around me.

If the areas I've checked are ones we share a common interest for walking in, it would be great to hear from you!

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

My Message: Hi
I am looking for new walking friends male or female. I have many years experience having trekked abroad and bagged many British hills. And lots of british national trails as well.But equally I am happy to walk 5 miles along the river so please don't let that put you off. I like to bring my dog along when possible but it's not essential. I drive and am able to travel a reasonable distance for a nice walk. I sometimes work unsociable hours but can be free most Sundays some Saturdays and odd weekdays. I'm not averse to a local evening walk either. I have basic climbing and scrambling skills - i can belay as well. But I can't read a map to save my life! - sorry ! But am willing to learn if you are very patient.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Ps if you haven't put a pic up of yourself I won't reply a girls gotta be careful you know!
No smokers please.

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 30s, based near Castle Douglas.

My Message: When I first moved to the UK from Canada, one of the things that I looked forward to most was walking in places where I didn't have to worry about bears or overly-aggressive deer! Seven years on, I've managed to climb Snowdon, bag a couple of Munros (including Ben Nevis), and been on several mid-length walks from places as varied as Unst in Shetland to the North Downs Way, but that's about it.

I would describe myself as a woman who is young at heart with a good sense of humour. I enjoy comedy, theatre, films, reading and history. I'm in decent shape, have two adorable rescued rotties (they're exceptionally friendly with people - but unfortunately have not been well socialised with other dogs), and am happy to travel to meet up for walks - or pitch in for petrol - as needed. I'm good at reading maps, but my compass using skills definitely need some work.

As I work full-time, walking is limited to weekends and (Scottish) school holidays. If you're interested in meeting up for a walk, please get in touch. [Nb: I'm interested in walking pretty much anywhere, but figure it's good to start close to home when you're just meeting up for the first few times!]

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

My Message: Hi, I moved to Scotland recently and I'm keen to explore. I've done quite a bit of cycle touring in the UK and France, and a fair amount of walking in the Lake District. I'm a car owner/driver, so I can travel around. I'm looking to meet new friends to explore this wonderful country with. I like being outdoors, I can cope with all weathers, and am happy walking and cycling. The glass of beer at the end of the day is always very welcome and I like the planning, lunch making and post walk/cycle banter.

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 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 early 30s, based near Carlisle.

My Message: Hi I'm a 32 year old male who loves walking in the lakes, haven't walked anywhere else yet, but would do. It was a friend who got me into walking in the lakes and I love it, unfortunately my pal has gone off traveling now, and nobody else I know likes walking in the hills. I started trying to do all the wainwrights and I've done about 30 of them, and some of them 4or 5 times over. I've done a few hills on my own since, but it's just not the same on your own, hence why I'm here now, If you think you'd be up for some lakes adventures, drop me a message and we can talk about it!!

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.
