I am a Male Walker, in my late 50s, based near Windsor.
My Message: I am a straight single 57 year old male with a real passion for the great outdoors. As an experienced walker and walk leader I am quite capable of finding my way around without too many mistakes, but do sometimes miss the companionship of a like minded partner to share my enjoyment of our wonderfully scenic and diverse landscapes. A perfect opportunity to explore the mix of valleys, woods, fells and moorlands; together with all the bugs, plants, birds and animals that call them home; the nearest thing we have to natural environments. The only downside is that any walking partner would have to accept the fact that due to having had to take on the role of full time (24/7) carer for an elderly relative with dementia my trips out are at the moment limited to rather short local walks some weekdays and 2 or 3 holidays each year.

I am a Female Walker, in my late 50s, based near Aberdeen.
My Message: Hi, I'm looking to meet fellow walkers who don't mind a wee dog coming along and a walker who doesn't really know her Corbett's from Munro's, but likes a biscuit at the top!- that's both of us. However I do walk regularly, love nature, and don't mind being outside in most weathers. I enjoy art, scuba, reading, music and am pretty easy going. I would like to extend my walking, and to share some company in doing so would be great. I'm not keen on heights so sheer ridges and summits are not for me I'm afraid, but I'm fairly fit and up for a wide range of walks, otherwise. I hope to extend some skills like map reading, compass etc without losing the enjoyment of just a good day of walking! I work full time so weekends are best, and holidays are much more flexible in the distances I can travel.

I am a Female Walker, in my late 40s, based near Bracknell.
My Message: Hi, I'm based in Berkshire but willing to travel. I'm am interested in all sorts of walking, whether it be routes from guides or just picking up a map and heading off. Love the idea of the long distance paths, and have been working my way along the North Downs Way with a friend for a few years now - who knows we might finish this year. I started the Thames Path by accident in 2015 and have since completed approximately one third of it (Culham to Kingston) - obviously started in the middle and have been working my way backwards and forwards! I'd love to do other long distance paths such as South Downs Way, London loop, Coast to Coast and am seriously considering starting the South West Coast path this year. Happy to do them in bite sized chunks or in bigger sections. Generally most of my walking has been done solo and I'm happy with my own company, but equally like walking with others. I'd love to join up with like minded either single walkers or groups. Have been known to climb the odd mountain - Snowdon and Carauntoohil the most notable - and the Lake District is somewhere I'm keen to walk in. Look forward to hearing from any like-minded walkers.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 50s, based near Stourport-on-severn.
My Message: I've just come home from work, walking all day in the Worcestershire countryside in the sun with a pack of dogs, including my own. Having served my time climbing hills and mountains with groups of children in the Outdoor Education sector, I now spend my working hours walking with dogs and feel it would be good and healthy to spend my leisure time walking with adult company. About me - my name is Alison (50 next year and planning various walking trips to celebrate) and if you walk with me you walk with my Collie, Gwenon. For me its about being out there in the countryside, listening to the birds, hugging the trees, reconnecting with the natural world, catching 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 sound navigator and enjoy exploring as well as working out the maths! I enjoy exploring off the beaten track and have also been known to while away my time playing in the stream. If any of this sounds appealing and you are willing to join me being out there in the wild or not so wild, get in touch.

I am a Female Walker, in my late 50s, based near Skipton.
My Message: Hi,
I'm Caroline, and i'm looking for a small walking group to join. I can manage up to 10 miles, but not great on hills, ? due to asthma. A group fairly local to the Yorkshire dales area would be ideal, as i drive, but not on motorways, or into cities!
I work, Tuesday-Friday, so have quite a lot of free Mondays, and also alternate Saturdays, as my partner is a Bradford City fan!
I don't know how to search for groups specifically on this site, so if you belong to one and read this, please get in touch.

I am a Female Walker, in my late 50s, based near Ludlow.
My Message: Hello
My name is Terri
I'm new to this site and looking for new walking friends as most of my friends have now lost motivation. I am a life long walker and cannot imagine life without walking!
I live in lovely Ludlow and know the Shropshire Hills very well. I walk often in the Peak District, the Brecon Beacons and Wales all of which are within striking distance of here. I have family in France so also walk regularly in Europe particularly in the French and Spanish Pyrennees and next year have planned to do the camino from St. Jean de Luz.
I am no longer working full time but am nowhere near ready to slow down. This means I have time to travel and enjoy new walking opportunities as well as make new friends who like me, love the great outdoors.
Please contact me if you would like to walk with me either in the UK or Europe.
Bon Voyage!
Terri

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Rossendale.
My Message: I am single with a dog! Trying to find someone to walk with and build my walking legs back up. I am still up to reasonable distances - did a 14 mile hill walk a couple if weeks ago, but I don't enjoy walking on my own, or particularly with large groups. I enjoy camping etc and being off the beaten track. I am not particularly into bagging Wainrights, Munroes, Corbett etc it needs to be fun. I am redundant next year I know I can't spend an hour or more to travel to the walk until then. I am afraid it is just how it is.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 50s, based near Crewe.
My Message: Hi Fellow Hikers,
Aw, c'mon, I don't bite... I am still waiting to hear from those elusive, prospective walking partners!
Fifty year old female looking for walking companions in Staffordshire/Cheshire areas. I am not looking for love or an affair as I live with my partner, and am after nothing more than on a platonic basis as I am happy with the man I am with!
I prefer one-to-one or a small group company... and although I prefer male company, I am happy to have female company too...
Currently I do most of my walking in the Peak district, but would like to venture further afield also; I am up for day walks and weekend-long walks.
I like photography, riding motorbikes, land art and sculpture, Radio 4, nature, mountains, hills and the usual fab scenery.
On a personal note, I swear, sweat, am intelligent, forgetful, can be abrasive and charming, don't like bullsh*t, am very honest and what you see is what you get.
I am based in South Cheshire, have a car, and would prefer people who are local (ish) to me.
Happy to walk in all weathers... not very good at navigation but would like to learn.

I am a Male Walker, in my early 60s, based near Blundeston.
My Message: Hi, I love walking about 15 miles a day while on holiday for a week and shorter ones of around 5 miles more often. I am in a carer's group being the only man and have been used to female company, {Not looking for a relationship}, my wife has been ill for 30 years and encourages me to get out and about as much as possible, as she cannot walk far any more. I have walked peak district, south and north downs ways, St ives to Penzance via Lands End, Ridgeway, Peddars way, Icknield Path and many more. Being a good map reader loosing my way very rarely happens, so if you would like to meet up for a drink in a cafe to see if we get along please message me. Andy

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Llandrindod Wells.
My Message: There is nothing better than for me to be out walking in the hills and mountains of Wales (home now) or Scotland (home for 6 years until 2012) with my 2 spaniels. I would prefer to be out and about, joking and laughing with close friends rather than watching mind numbing TV on my own. I'm a Yorkshire lad, so any testing peak, anywhere in the UK or Europe, I would give it my best shot. There has to be some common sense prevailing when the location is chosen, so Wales, the Peak District, Cumbria, the South West would be easier to say yes to. Wild Camping, BandB, inns with good food and ale, I'm up for all of it, provided my dogs get to come too.

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 40s, based near Berkhamsted.
My Message: My husband and l have always walked on and off as we lose motivation. We have restarted walking and would love to keep the momentum going. We are in our mid 40s and love each other company but we will welcome other companies in order to keep us motivated. We can easily do 8-12miles walks but happy to try to do more. We live in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire and would love to join couples, single men or women for weekend walks around the surrounding counties such as Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Berkshire, London, Essex and Oxfordshire. We would love to go for some famous walks such as the Yorkshire Dales, Dartmoor.... on a long weekend trip. So, if you think we can motivate each other, please let us know.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 50s, based near Clitheroe.
My Message: Hi, I walk as often as time permits as a single parent who also needs to earn a living. Luckily that's not full time, and as it's in a school, I have good holidays with time to spare. Kids now teens so can be left alone (but are rarely persuaded to put on their boots with me). Tried walking groups but don't really like the large group thing -prefer to walk with a friend or small group. Looking to find a few more buddies, to share the views (or laugh about the lack of them).
Done long distance walks in the dim and distant past (Pennine Way, Hadrian's Wall, Lyke Wake) as well as trekking in Tibet and Bhutan, but realistically it's going to be half/full days or occasional overnights (happy camper) within an hour or so of home (Ribble Valley). Generally fit - swim and cycle too.
Would be great to arrange some days out through this site. Half term and Christmas holidays are not too far away... Please get in touch if you fancy a walk.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 60s, based near West Wycombe.
My Message: Hi, I am a 62 year female, I have lived in West Wycombe for 1 year. I am a retired nurse who is looking for someone to walk with and share and enjoy the scenery and chat or not as the mood allows. I love walking and have just completed Hadrians Wall which has been a lifelong dream. I walk as fast as I can but I am no greyhound, far preferring to stop and take a photo or enjoy whatever is on view and it is always nice to have a treat at the end. I am married but my husband is not keen on walking and I feel I could be more adventurous if I were not on my own. I can walk during the week and prefer this and I'm happy to travel to other counties for day walks but I'm also keen to explore my surroundings in the Chilterns. I am reasonably fit, at least I think I am but I'm not great at scaling mountains and not overly keen on very strenuous ventures, but that said I'm willing to consider most things.

I am a Male Walker, in my early 60s, based near Haverfordwest.
My Message: Hi, I just love walking, landscape, wildlife, geology, trees, plants, well everything out in the wild or countryside really. I currently live in Pembrokeshire an area I really love but I'm moving to Libanus near Brecon shortly to be nearer my three daughters and my work ( which is now house and pet sitting mostly in the southern half of England). I'm single and my job is wonderful but quite isolating so I'd like to meet someone (female) for company, conversation, laughter, ( not much laughter on your own) sharing (no sharing either) on walks, in pubs or anywhere. I'm an experienced walker and have walked over many places in Britain and Ireland, Pyrenees and Alps, I'm especially familiar with the Brecon Beacons and Pembrokeshire. My job takes me all over Southern Britain mostly but not always South of the M4 and gives me lots of opportunities to walk in some beautiful areas. I love reading, live music and theatre, real ale, cinema (but I can't seem to go on my own), travel, meeting people from other countries, single malts, laughing etc,etc.and I'd like to meet someone please.

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Garswood.
My Message: Hi, my name's Bernie and I'm looking for a walking pal or pals in the St. Helens or Wigan area to do regular walks of between 5-10 miles. I walk with my wife but due to hip replacements her limit is 5 or 6 miles. I am in a rambling club but often miss walks because they are on a Sunday and we are doing other things. Being retired (6 years) I have time in the week so weekday walks are best. Enjoy using maps and sometimes making it up as I go along! Enjoy solo walks too but also nice to have a bit of company sometimes.

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Manchester.
My Message: Hi I am trying to put some kind of life together after the death of my incredible wife. I hate being in the house and believe walking will be therapeutic. We used to enjoy walking but not generally long distances. I am fit however as i am an addicted swimmer. The thing I miss most is talking so a walking companion would be ideal. Willing to travel reasonable distance for a nice walk. The peak district is probably best for me. I am very easy going and generally good fun, although I must admit my sense of humour has vanished recently due to circumstances. I'm hoping some new friends will change that.

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Sheffield.
My Message: Hi there, I'm Kathy and would like to find a male companion to go walking with.
A very dear friend introduced me to this site. She knows that I love walking, being close to nature and the great outdoors, but was aware that with the winter months encroaching I was looking for new ideas to fill my spare time.
I have hobbies such as dancing and sailing but as I lost my partner very suddenly in 2011, and have lived alone since, it has been more difficult to pursue some of my interests.
I have special time daily with my 2 lovely labs and we walk at least twice a day, but as they are now in their senior years, both 12 years old, I am restricted by distance.
I would like to find some one who would be happy to accompany me for longer walks at a weekend. I am nick named chatty Kathy and I do like to converse on all manner of topics plus a good sense of humour is always a bonus as we meander along.
I have to say I am an A star when it comes to getting lost, although a little deviation can be interesting at times.
If you would consider being my companion and helping me get from A to B, (I'm hopeless at map reading), please send me a message.
You never know, I might find the one I am looking for. I know you are out there.
Thank you for taking the time to read my message.
Kathryn

I am a Female Walker, in my late 50s, based near Grassington.
My Message: Hi, this is Diane.
I live in the Yorkshire Dales and own a hotel (with walking companion rates if you choose to stay there) - I am finding it really difficult to find a walking companion to walk with, mid-week especially. Not looking to walk really long distances but happy to do up to 10 miles or so. Love the idea of pub grub after a good leg stretch. I love to laugh and consider myself easy company. I am not on here looking for romance (or whatever the modern term is) but just to enjoy the company of a fellow male or female walker. Hope to hear from you. Diane
