I am a Male Walker, in my late 30s, based near Chulmleigh.

My Message: Hi, I'm James from North Devon. Walking has really helped me to recover my strength and stamina after a long period of illness. Dartmoor is right on my doorstep and I have been making a determined effort this year to get to know it better. Wild camping on the moor has a deeply therapeutic effect on me - underlining the importance of keeping things simple and in balance.

I usually walk alone, my friends are usually busy, and I think some company would be nice. Dartmoor is a wonderful playground that I would never tire of but I am happy to try anywhere in the UK that I can reach by train. I have a spare tent that I can lend out if you are not sure whether camping is your thing but would like to give it a go without spending lots of money. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 40s, based near Beverley.

My Message: Hi 52. Looking initially to do some of the national trails - ideally 3 - over the summer of this year (2014). Open to other suggestions, but the plan is Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast, then Cotswolds and finally either the Hadrian's Wall walk, or Pembrokeshire Coast Path.

A lot of history - but that is the problem - it is history! So fitness has slid away, and I am looking to put that right as gently as possible. Add in a splash of photography for my own travelogue, and basically you have it. Gentle walks over some distance (anticipating camping as a default) with frequent photo stops.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 50s, based near Tucson, Az Usa.

My Message: Hello Walkers (female & male)

I'm a desert-dwelling American hoping to arrange some walks for a holiday upcoming this summer. My dates are 27 June until 13 July. The only date I'm unavailable to walk is 3 July, when I have a London meeting.

Though I have some interest in Hadrian's Wall, I am open to walking in any part of the UK to which I can take public transport or hitch a ride, and where a good pint is never far off. I'm keen to find good company and lots of 'exotic' (non-arid!) scenery.

So, if you're looking for a walking buddy, or care to be a tour-guide for a visitor, please drop me a line!

Best,

Leigh

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

My Message: Hello everyone, I have recently moved into the Shropshire area and looking to get more active with walks and hikes. I have seen and been on a few walks but would like some company to while away the hours chatting while burning up the miles. I am quite new to it all so will probably need some time to get my fitness levels up, but I am willing to put in the hours at the weekend and some evenings depending where I am with work.

Thank you for reading hope to hear back from people.

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Northallerton.

My Message: Hello. I am a recently retired fit and active 64 year old single female who has every intention of walking as much of our own country as possible and for as long as I am fit and able to do so. All my friends are still working (poor things) and I would much rather walk with a friend (male or female) than on my own. I live about 40 minutes north of York and have a car so a reasonable travelling distance is not a problem and as work is no longer a consideration – any day is fine.
I love any distance of walk but am probably happiest between 8 and 12 miles with time to stop and enjoy the beauty of the countryside, am quite happy to walk whatever the weather (almost!) – and if there happens to be a teashop on the journey…. Well I admit I take some dragging past it!
Would welcome replies from any age and either sex but please don’t ask me to go camping…. Where on earth would I plug in the hairdryer???

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

My Message: Hi there,

Hi i'm Jon aged 34 living in Warrington, Cheshire. I have always had an interest in walking and exploring whether it be through muddy fields, woodlands, along canal towpaths, mountain walking etc. I just love to get out there and explore the great outdoors. It's great to get into the open air away from the busy work schedule.

I can do basic map reading and generally have a good sense of direction.

I would very much like to find new friends who hopefully share these interests and would perhaps like to join me on some walks. I do drive and have my own transport.

It would be great to hear from anyone who may be interested.

Best wishes Jon

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

My Message: Hi My name is Alan and i'm looking for walking buddies in the Wiltshire area initially as this is where i live but i also have contacts with the New Forest. I am enthusiastic though so i'm sure this will expand in no time and often my work can take me various locations. I have done quiet a few walks along the ridgeway both day and night and often like to take photos but nothing too excessive that it ruins the vibe of the walk. Weekends are more tricky as i have a wife and family who i prefer to spend my time with however i'm a freelancer so weekdays can be flexible and often when i like to walk but my preference is to do this with people. i live in Calne and look forward to hooking up with anyone in the area soon.

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Faringdon Oxon.

My Message: Hi, I’m Steve, 55, 5’ 6” tall, average build, but not as fit as I think I am! I’m looking for a female walking companion to share big & small adventures in the great outdoors. I have the Ridgeway and Cotswolds close by but prefer the high places like the Lake District, Snowdonia and the Brecons and head for them when time and funds allow. I also enjoy coastal walks or mooching around a town. I love camping and am looking to trying wild camping this year as I’m a keen photographer wanting to capture mountain sunrises and sunsets. Not averse to the odd B&B or hotel now and again though. I work office hours so am usually free at weekends, and summer evenings locally. I think I’m a reasonable navigator (thank you GPS!). And it’s always nice to go for a drink and chat at the end of the day. I’m not really into route marches but like to stop to admire the view and take photos. Happy to walk in all weathers. Happy in my own company but it would be great to have a like-minded soul along for the journey.

Getting there is the is the challenge! Over the years I've enjoyed walking in most of the peaks and mountains of Britain, but there are still many new routes to discover. It would be great to share the experience with a like minded male. To walk, talk and share the apres adventure. If you like the idea drop me a line.

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

My Message: Hi I am not quite sure how to grade the walks that I am interested in. I have completed the Camino in Northern Spain but that doesn't involve that much climbing! I've also done the middle 4 days of Hadrians Wall. However I haven't done much walking over the last twelve months and would like to get out and about a bit more. The dog is in her 13th year and is no longer up for long walks. I love being outdoors, walking in great scenery and in good company that would be even better. I haven't navigated much and walking is one of the few areas of life that I am happy to follow in a sheep-like manner! I am quite well-travelled but very down to earth and would be happy to chat about many things in addition to walking in companionable silence, at times. A meal and a glass of something nice at the end of a days walking would be great. I am in a walking group and go on around 8 mile walks at present but to meet a male companion who enjoys walking would be the icing on the cake. I am based in Mellor in my native Lancashire and look forward to hearing from you. I have no ties and am free most weekends.
