I am a Female Walker, in my mid 40s, based near East Grinstead.
My Message: Hi am a married mother of 5 who's looking for a weekday walking companion. I am also interested in the occasional weekend walking in the mountainous areas of England and Wales. I can navigate and enjoy wild camping and night hiking in Sussex. I have done the Tour de Trigs, Fan Dance (Summer and Winter) plus the 10 Peaks Challenge in both Brecon and Lake District. I am by no means super fit and skinny but I enjoy the challenge and ideally would like to meet like minded women who want to have a go at the impossible but do it in the spirt of I'll give it my best but its more important to have a laugh and a good time.

I am a Male Walker, in my early 50s, based near Birmingham.
My Message: Hi I’m Nigel a keen dog walker, by that I mean where I go so does the dog (border collie), Snowdon, kinder, Nevis, or even Sutton park (locals will know where that is), and if it’s not safe for the dog I don’t go so the Glyders are out. I work shifts so most of my walking is done locally but try to a decent hike once a month, I.e. the peak district, Staffordshire moorlands, or wales when the days are longer. Holidays tend to be in the UK but the hillier the better. I'm looking for company to share the views and conversation (I love my dog but his conversation is a bit limited) and a maybe a pint of two at the end of the day.

I am a Male Walker, in my early 40s, based near Nottingham.
My Message: Hi, I'm Mark... I'm looking for walking buddies in the East Midlands area. I work full time, shifts for the emergency services so my days off vary. Most of my friends work during the week so if i'm on rest days then i'm often walking on my own... don't mind this but it would be good to find others to hook up with for a walk, pint, chin wag..... (also free some weekends) I'm very easy going, got loads of interests and a very broad humour. I walk fairly often in the peaks and have also walked in the lakes, North Yorks and Scotland. I usually follow the guides on this site although can just about read a map! I'm fairly fit and usually choose walks 12-15k, don't mind a tough walk or a nice chilled one... Hope to hear from you.

I am a Male Walker, in my early 60s, based near Portsmouth.
My Message: Hi, my name is Dave. Having given up work to be a full time carer for my wife who had Motor Neurone Disease, I now sadly find I have a lot of spare time on my hands and would like to get back outdoors walking in company with one or more like-minded people. I am active and healthy, with interests in walking and hiking, cycling, and sailing. For now I am looking for friendship or companionship for day or weekend walking. In due course I would like to find someone for longer hiking trips, either in the UK or abroad. Used to regularly walk up to 10 - 12 miles per day in the hills, although I am very happy to do shorter and flatter walks especially initially as my legs probably need a bit of retraining.

I am a Male Walker, in my late 40s, based near N.E Lincolnshire.
 My Message: Looking for someone to share a walk with, most distance, pace and terrain.Have been talked into walking the Camino De Santiago across Spain for a second time 2016, having done it in 2012, so need to get out and build my fitness up again.Really I'm looking for regular walking buddies to share the experience and fun with, however if the right person literally walks into my life then that is great too.I love the outdoors and try and get out as much as possible, often with the rabid mutt,my little crazy dog.When not working, walking or dreaming,I can be found painting or crafting, so the odd visit to a art gallery,craft show or theatre/concert is also a passion for me.Love music of many genres and Love to laugh and seek the funnier things in life, also the simple things, a good sunset, open fire or even the odd night under the stars cooking with good company and good food.I have lived a life of many adventures and changes and still have more to explore, quite a gypsy heart at times, slowly settling down a little, would like to share the next adventure with someone preferably. I am pretty flexible with work, can be available most weekends and sometimes week days. Don't mind a good hard walk as a training day but do also love a steady stroll to take in the scenery and the sounds. Walking to me is many things. a time to think, a time to push myself, a time to get away from the madness of the other world, a time to be alone or most importantly a time to share with people of many paths in life.
At the moment I'm in Lincolnshire but looking at moving south next year, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall direction so heading down that way soon for a recce and maybe the odd walk or two, if anyone down that way cares to join me for a walk or has some suggestions that would be great.

Box No: 110250
I am a Male Walker, in my early 60s, based near Esher.
 My Message: I (Stephen) have always loved walking in the great outdoors, but not (so far!) in any particularly organised or ambitious way. Having said that, I do try to get away on a hiking holiday in the Alps every year and for that I typically handle a climb of 1000 metres in a day and distance of 20km+ without discomfort, so I must be in fairly good shape … far better shape than I have any right to expect at my age of just turned 60.
I have literally just retired and so I now have time to indulge my joy of walking more than I have been able to do while I was working. I am hoping to find someone, or even a few, like-minded to share my enjoyment with, both locally in the Surrey/home counties area and perhaps sometimes further afield … Lakes, Wales, Scotland, abroad … anywhere really.
A good part of the enjoyment for me is the companionship, so a good chat in a suitably situated pub would be a good complement to the walking and fresh air.

I am a Male Walker, in my early 50s, based near Harrogate.
My Message: Hi, I'm Tony and my great passion is the British countryside and wildlife.
I love walking in the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and North York Moors.
I used to play rugby, football and basketball, but advancing years have now restricted my sporting activities to gentler pastimes such as golf, darts and snooker.
The two things at the top of my 'bucket list' (I HATE that expression!) are to climb all the Wainwrights and to see a full Ring Cycle (Now completed).
I would like to explore Wales, Scotland and Ireland and have been bitten by the multi-day walking bug, having done The Tabular Hills, Dales Way and Coast to Coast walks, and would love to do more.

Box No: 103593
I am a Male Walker, in my late 40s, based near Birmingham.
My Message: Hi I am James (52 years) I live in Sutton Coldfield and like walking in the Peak District and the Malverns or anywhere within reason - I also enjoy cycling - I like walking and talking with different people but it would be nice to have a walking companion.
I would like to make some walking friends to do local walks and walks further away. I can get away most weekends and some days in the week. For me its more about enjoying the scenery and the company you are with. I'm happy doing walks about 10 miles or longer I have recently been up Snowdon and Brecon Beacons which I really enjoyed.
Kind Regards
James

I am a Male Walker, in my late 40s, based near Churchstoke.
 My Message: Hi, my name is Steve and I'm a 49 yr old single guy.
I'm based mostly on the mid Welsh borders and so am lucky enough to have relatively easy access to the mountains of Wales and mid/northern England.
I live a pretty unconventional life in which adventure travel plays a significant part. I've recently returned from a 4000 mile cycle trip of Eastern Europe, it was a blast!
I love the notion of adventure, macro or micro, an afternoon walk, a weekend camping/bivvying or full on expeditions lasting weeks or months.
I'm in the process of planning a south American cycling adventure for next year if anyone is interested.
I love to get into the mountains and wild places of Britain as much as I can and do this in my 'live - in truck' which takes me all over.
I also like to explore the myths and legends accociated with wild places.
I've walked a lot in Britain and also trekked in the Alps, the Pyrenees and Napal. I spent a month last year on my mountain bike in Iceland which was fab, apart from falling off!
So if anyone is interested in sharing adventure experiences, big or small, drop me a line and we can share ideas.
Cheers.

Box No: 94764
I am a Male Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Pershore, Worcestershire.
My Message: Hi, I’m a totally blind walker, and I'm looking for people to go walking with who would be prepared to act as my guide. If you have a dog, or at least like dogs then all the better, as I have a lively guide dog who would love to come along sometimes.
I can usually be free to walk locally any day of the week. It would also be good to hear from people anywhere in the country who would be interested in setting up a small group for weekends away, or possibly to walk one of the national trails, either all at once or a section at a time. 8 to 12 miles a day, depending on terrain is ideal for me, although shorter walks locally are fine too of course. Dogs would be very welcome of course, as well as a sense of humour and a rucksack full of food!
Don't worry if you haven't guided anyone who is blind before - you'll soon get the hang of it. I'm a fairly experienced walker and I don't think walking with me is too stressful. (although others may disagree)
Looking forward to hearing from anyone who can help get my rusting knees walking again.

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 Female Walker, in my early 50s, based near Dorset.
My Message: Hello, I am a regular walker; with friends, groups and alone. Love mini or major adventures to places near or far, travelling at a pace where you can appreciate the people, sights, smells and tastes.
Hoping to meet new hiking/travel buddies with an interest in long distance point to point walking, happy to wild camp but no Amazonian queen so also love a touch of luxury now and then. And I'm sure you will all agree that if you haven't seen a bathroom in a week 'luxury' is relative!
Mostly available at weekends, occasionally mid week. If we get along how about planning a long distance hiking adventure together? Hoping to do the John Muir Trail (USA) in 2016 but happy to consider other ideas.

I am a Female Walker, in my late 50s, based near Eye.
My Message: Hi, i'm Wendy. I am a keen walker but as the years have gone by my walking buddies have dropped out with knees, tendons and the like, leaving me walking on my own or pottering round the garden. So it's time to regroup, find one or two new genuine walking friends, and get out there again. I enjoy a wide range of walking, in any weather, and am probably most comfortable between 10-15 miles. I'll do everything from regular short day walks (with or without coffee at the end), which would need to be within an hour's drive or so from my home in Suffolk. Up to long distance hikes in the national parks and uplands. I have done the Coast to Coast (brilliant), SW Coast Path and Macmillan way, which I enjoyed so much I kept going north to join up with the Coast path.
There don't seem to be any walkers based in the East of England on this site so if you are out there, get in touch

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 40s, based near Cullompton.
My Message: Hello, my name is Dmitry. Originally from Russia, I spent 10 years in Scotland where I enjoyed regular walks in the hills. Recently moved to Devon and looking to explore Devon/Somerset/Dorset area, but can travel further away. Although I often walk on my own, it would be nice to have a company. I am quite good with maps. Currently in the process of adopting a rescue dog and I am sure he will enjoy doggy company, if you have a dog (or a few). Other interest include camping/caravanning, sailing and canoeing, photography and painting. Available on weekends, but can do some midweek days too.

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Warwickshire.
My Message: I have done a lot of walking over the years both in the UK and abroad and retired so lots more time available now. My local area is the Cotswolds but I often walk in Wales, Derbyshire and the Lake District. I have completed part of the South West coast path and would like to do more. I particularly enjoy walking in the hills, coastal walking and walking a reasonable distance. Although I walk with various groups of friends regularly they are not always free or inclined to walk further from home. I have only marked a few areas as I would be willing to walk almost anywhere.
I look forward to finding new companions, particularly for the SWC path.

I am a Male Walker, in my early 60s, based near London.
My Message: Reliving my passion for walking in the country side. As I am now registerd Blind I find it's not so easy for filling my love of walking. A keen rambler for many years I have a yearn to get out and about again and take in the beautiful creation that surrounds us. I am looking to make a couple of friends to come rambling. I'm living in London and need to get out from time to time.
I thought up to about 10+ miles would be a good starting distance. I can help with some travel expenses if we need a train. I am up for a pint, or tea, or my favoured place for a break is a bite to eat in the middle of nowhere propped up against a log or wall.
If you walk with a group or by yourself it would be great to hear from you.
If you think you can assist or have any ideas, just let me know and if you need any more information about me just ask, we'll see ware it takes us. Al

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Chulmleigh.
My Message: Hi folks,
I live in North Devon and I'm looking for someone - primarily - who would like to join me on Dartmoor for either day-walks or backpacking trips/wild camping, though fully prepared to go further afield.
I have a fair knowledge of Northern Dartmoor and am fully able to get lost there with the best of them!
I suppose I could call myself a Mountaineer. I've climbed and walked in the Himalayas, Caucusses, Pyrenees, North Africa and the Andes (they're at the end of your armies) and have been wandering around the UK mountains since childhood. I'm also an average mountain-biker (in that I fall off frequently). Quite keen on Via Feratta too.
I like to think that I'm relatively fit, and would be happy with walks of any distance.
Oh, and my name's John. If all this doesn't put you off nothing will!
