Find New Walking & Hiking Friends & Companions and Walking Groups - The Message Board

Box No: 111881

I am a Female Walker, in my early 70s, based near Bolton.

My Message: Am a late in life transgender female currently in transition. Hope that doesn't put you off.

I walk about 1 and a half miles each morning with my dogs before breakfast plus other walks plus mountain bike rides and competitions. Wednesday evenings and Thursday mornings are taken by voluntary work with Wheels for All in Bolton. Some weekends am committed to helping trail running events.

In my former life, have been an outdoor instructor, Orienteer (on foot and mountain bike), teacher and cycle retailer. Enjoy the countryside, food and wine. Feel younger than my numerical age though hormone treatment has reduced strength.

Perhaps my past dysphoria was a factor in being uncomfortable in a group - not been happy within a large walking group. Getting better riding with the Saddleworth Rough Stuff Cycling group.

Hoping to find female companions, preferably dog friendly, to share my walks.

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

My Message: Hello there........ I live in PRESTON and I'm looking for male/ female/group walking companions.
I used to walk every weekend a couple of years ago and have managed to tick off over 50 of the wainwrights plus many other challenging walks however my fitness levels are not what they used to be and I would like to change that !

So I am looking for like minded walkers who are happy to walk at a reasonable pace, like to laugh and enjoy a good chat but at the same time feel comfortable with silence, particularly in the peace and quiet of the countryside.

I drive, I am reliable, and I'm available Saturday's and some Sunday's as I have just joined a walking group that meets every altenate sunday.

My sense of direction is not great but if I'm really observant I can get by and I'm looking at buying a GPS unit.

I prefer the lakes but I'm happy to do more local short walks too. Preferred level is about 10 miles with ascents between 1000 - 2000ft.

I am a Male Walker, in my early 70s, based near Lowestoft And Weymouth.

My Message: Newly retired and desperate to get out and see more of the country, I love travel and get away when I can but a little local knowledge is always welcome to find the best walks. I love dramatic scenery and there's not a lot in Suffolk, I have a little campervan which is a bit basic but I'm an expert camper, as I spend most of my time away out walking it suits me fine and gives me freedom, my family mostly live in Dorset and I am there quite often, I've just returned from walking round the Lizard Peninsular which was great

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Hinckley, Leics.

My Message: Hi, my names Paul and I'm looking for someone who is adventurous, fun and would like to go on short or long hikes. Short country walks to a country pub for food and drinks are as much my cup of tea as are the more challenging long distance trails.
I like taking photos and chatting with strangers along the way, generally having a laugh and enjoying the great outdoors. I'm currently trying my hand at landscape water colour painting if you can give me some tips? In return I can safely navigate you from A-B without fear of getting lost!
I can go walking almost any day of the week as my work is flexible, although I have to work a lot of weekend dates so weekdays would be best.
The Peak District is a big favourite of mine because it's close to home but love the Yorkshire Dales and the Lakes, but would walk anywhere new and interesting. Would be interested in walking in Italy as I've just got the guide books and it looks amazing!
So if you'd like to have your own sherpa, tour guide and some fun along the way drop me a line

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Stoke On Trent.

My Message: Prefer to walk in smaller than larger groups, so looking to make acquaintance of both Men and Women as walk companions. Have very recently walked 16+ miles around Wenlock Edge in Shropshire, but happier generally with around 10 to 12 miles. Part-retired and only work 3 days a week now (the one consolation of getting older I have found) so available Thursday to Sunday. Have my own car. Preferred walking areas/counties are just the most accessible from where I live in Stoke on Trent, but open to other venues which might need an overnight stop or a weekend away

I am a Female Walker, in my early 70s, based near Barrow-in-furness.

My Message: Hello
I am looking for walking companions for walks fairly local to me.... Cumbria and Lancashire.... quite willing to travel further if I find a walking companion who travels at the same speed as I do!!!! Would love to do a longer walk at a slow pace.. stopping at places of interest... but hey I am getting ahead of myself.
Can only manage 5-6 miles these days have done 10 this year but really too much and I suffer the next day.
My walks are more enjoyable if done at pace where the scenery can be enjoyed and a route march is not a necessity. Can do hills but only with poles and it takes me a while to get down again.....
So if you feel that you could put up with me on your walks please contact me....
Updated as I have had knee surgery at the end of last year.....still do 5 miles and still love to get out on the low fells...or seeing interesting places - like Malham cove...
Regards
Lilian

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

My Message: Hi
My name's Kate and I'm really interested in improving my walking skills and seeing and enjoying much more of the outdoors, both at weekends and also when I'm free mostly at weekends but sometimes during the week. I'd really like to try new walks and challenges, beginning in the places I've mentioned. I would enjoy some company for this and to maybe have time to have a drink/coffee and chat with, at the end of a walk. I am very interested in meeting people to walk with who might introduce me to new walks, but in a low key, not too serious way. I hope to find folk who want to try regular outings for fun and adventure and to take in as much scenery as possible. Please get in touch if any of this this resonates with you. I shall look forward to hearing from you. Kate

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 30s, based near Harrogate.

My Message: Hi, I'm Richard, 35, single and living in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. I enjoy getting out into the countryside for walks, especially the nearby Yorkshire Dales and my favourite part of the country the Lake District. I enjoy photography and always have my camera out on my walks. I enjoy both short walks with a country pub to end, or longer more challenging walks with a peak or two or three! I've recently decided to complete the 214 Wainwrights, but am looking to do the best walks rather than just the quickest routes. Would be up for some camping as well, now that spring is arriving. It would be nice to meet like minded people, especially any females looking for a walking partner.
