I am a Male Walker, in my early 50s, based near Rochester.

My Message: Hello. I’m Kent-based, 51 on birth certificate, but stopped counting at 35. Commuting to the City for work means that I can only get out to walk at weekends, but I became single again last year, so I now have every other weekend free.

I enjoy fairly strenuous fell walks, but I’m equally happy on a woodland stroll, as I walk for the pleasure of being in the countryside, stopping to look around, and maybe taking some photos – I’m not interested in beasting myself on a route march. If you appreciate the simple pleasure of birdsong on a balmy June day, you’ll know what gets me out of doors too.

The Lakes are my main passion, but living in the SE means I only get to do Wainwright bagging 2 or 3 times a year, alas. I’m planning to do the C2C, and hope to tick off some sections of the North Downs Way as “training” walks between now and then. I also have NNAS Silver Cert, so can usually find my way home..

I have enjoyed my solo walking so far, but would love to join a group of like-minded souls, or to hear from anyone (M/F) with whom any of this strikes a chord, and who enjoys a walk and an easy-going natter on just about anything. Local contacts would be ideal, of course, but I’m equally happy to travel further afield to meet and walk – anywhere in fact where there is good scenery, pleasant company, and a village pub. Hope to hear from you.

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

My Message: Male 57 with gsoh lives in Shipley West Yorkshire just retired (wife continues to work and is happy to do so!) looking for either local men or women or groups to walk with midweek. I love walking and whilst working used it to de-stress at weekends but am now able to enjoy the beauty of the countryside all week! I am happy to walk alone but prefer walking with old or new friends. Have been enjoying walking for 10 years and prefer medium walks (10 to 15 miles) but happy to go for longer or shorter walks. Not into camping though - I now like my creature comforts.

I am a Female Walker, in my late 50s, based near Carlisle.

My Message: Hi there, I would love to find new friends to go walking with. I live in North Cumbria so am well-placed for the Lakes and I walk there every weekend in a group; but it would be great to meet males or females who would like to explore more of the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales on an occasional basis and maybe be interested in weekends in Snowdonia. I like youth hostels, camping and am reasonable with map and compass (some awesome mistakes, some strokes of genius, generally not too bad. ) I do like to walk at a reasonable pace.
Look forward to hearing from you and all enjoy your walking.

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

My Message: Hi I've just hit 50 - gulp - and am climbing Kilimanjaro next year. Want to get plenty of hill walking in. I teach fitness and like challenging walks - with a good old gossip along the way. Easy going, and fun. I am Midlands based close to all of the main motorways so can head in any direction. Would like to do Snowdon around Xmas time. Don't mind rain, hail wind or snow - want to test out my new high altitude kit! Can do weekends away - so consecutive days walking are welcome - need to get in training. Happy to walk in couples or a group. If you are looking for a partner to climb a few hills this winter - please get in touch.

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

My Message: Hi, I really enjoy walking but am generally too enthusiastic for most of my friends. I would like to meet a like minded walker to move me out of my comfort zone and support me to improve my fitness through regular, active walks (preferably involving a hill or two!) Biggest problem is that I live in Hampshire and obviously need to drive further afield to encounter any real altitude! Dorset coast is fabulous and only an hour away as indeed are the South Downs. Am interested in exploring further afield but would like opportunity to meet like-minded souls. I have been a walker off and on most of my life but would really love to move up a gear or two. If you think we might hit it off, would be great to hear from you.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 40s, based near Great Ayton.

My Message: Hi All. Thank you for taking the time to read my message. Just recently put my walking boots back on and rediscovered the hills, coast and fresh air. I have a fantastic 4 legged companion but she rarely gives me good conversation, so, im looking for male and female company, long walks are really for my weekends as work takes up my Mon - Frid, but miles in the car are simply time listening to music, so will happily go anywhere to meet, walk and talk. Drop me a line, and in the mean time, happy hiking :-) x

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

My Message: I've been walking, caving, climbing, cycling and generally enjoying the lakes and dales all my life. I'm looking for some new friends to share it all with.
I live in the yorkshire dales, just an hour away from the Lakes so I'm ideally situated for either.
Not a long way way from a couple of airports too !!
I also have a young collie who enjoys everything we do together.
I'm self employed I make sure I get every tuesday off and I usually have at least one day of the weekend off to play out.
If you'd like to share a day out drop me a line.
All the best
Steve

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

My Message: Hiya all, I'm Paul and am starting walking again, I live in
Preston and would like to share the views round the corner or over the tops with a lady who enjoys the same delights.
I am a member of the YHA but don't use it so much as I should, also I enjoy the occassional night 'fair weather camping'.
I am easy going so will go on a variety of walk grades,
including the easier short ones as we all have had to work our way along to the longer ones, so if you dont feel too confident about directions and we ended up on de-tours, its just another path to the same destination!
Maybe also round off the day with something to eat and a drink in a country pub, If you feel we will get along with this idea, then drop me a note, who knows notes may pass to each other!! Meanwhile enjoy the days and walks, in all weathers,
happy walking,
Paul x

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

My Message: Hi everyone, my name is Janet. I really enjoy walking but most of my friends are married and have family commitments so cannot get out and about every weekend with them. It would be great to meet other like minded people to enjoy walks and the outdoors, finishing up at the end of a good walk with some social chat and maybe a drink and a pub meal. During the week is difficult to get any walking in as I work full time. I live in the north east, county durham and would be prepared to travel and take in walks in other areas. I have walked in northumberland, north yorkshire, peak district and the lakes, on the flat and up the hills and dales. I've just come back from the lakes and enjoyed walking and climbing up pike biscoe... i think thats what it was called! If anyone would like to join me or for me to join with you on some of your walks please get in touch. ps... am not a very good map reader but willing to learn. would like to go on a map reading course at some point. happy walking!

I am a Female Walker, in my early 30s, based near Blackburn.

My Message: Hello, I'm 32 years old and have relatively recently found my feet. I get out as often as I can (2-3 times per week) and am enjoying every minute (almost!)
I'm limited in terms of people to walk with as my time off is often mid week. It would be nice to have some company and I would love to do some more adventurous walks than I can safely do my own - not forgetting that the pint at the end tastes far better with company. So, if you are an experienced walker, a relative novice or somewhere inbetween feel free to get in touch.
Despite my inexperience I have bags of determination and big ambitions!

I am a Male Walker, in my early 40s, based near York.

My Message: Hi I'm a 40 something male, looking for some companions to go walking in the Lakes, Peaks and Yorkshire areas. I live in the Howardian Hills area of North Yorkshire, so the moors are on my doorstep and I have walked in many areas around here. Unfortunately my family don't really share my enthusiasm for walking so I tend to pack a rucksack on 1 day of the weekend to escape on my own. Would rather have a bit of company along the way and thats where you come in ! I'm planning to do all the Wainwrights before i'm 50, so I am looking to be in the Lakes on a reasonably regular basis in the next 7 years, failing that some day trips to other areas like the Peak District, Yorkshire Dales etc. would be good. I'm easy to get on with, strong enough on nav skills not to get lost too often and can tackle anything from a flat 3-5 miler to a full days hike of several peaks. All walks planned with a pint at the end ! Let me know if you are interested in joining me!
