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

My Message: Walking partner, male or female, wanted for short and longer walks primarily in Scotland but also in the North of England. I am fit and like long walks in all kinds of weather. I don't have a car so getting to the hills isn't always easy. Would be nice to have more outdoorsy friends to join me in exploring this lovely country.

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

My Message: Hi, I moved to Scotland recently and I'm keen to explore. I've done quite a bit of cycle touring in the UK and France, and a fair amount of walking in the Lake District. I'm a car owner/driver, so I can travel around. I'm looking to meet new friends to explore this wonderful country with. I like being outdoors, I can cope with all weathers, and am happy walking and cycling. The glass of beer at the end of the day is always very welcome and I like the planning, lunch making and post walk/cycle banter.

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

My Message: Hi I'm Dave, an active 43 yr old looking for walking/camping companions both male and female. I have been walking for quite a few years now, mainly in Northumberland, Lake District and Scotland. I am pretty well experienced and know my way around quite a few places. Working offshore gives me a lot off time off to venture off into the great outdoors, there's nothing better. I am very interested in trying out some wild camping, hoping to do it very soon in fact, so if anyone is looking for company give me a shout, I have never tried it but I am in the process of getting the kit together.
I am married with 2 children, my 8 yr old boy is already into Wainwright double figures, he often joins me and is great company on the fells.
I also enjoy cycling, running and would try most outdoor activities. If you are interested in joining me for a hike or a wild camp please get in touch.
Many thanks.

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 40s, based near Stirling.

My Message: Hi, I'm looking for company, male or female, on walks locally or further afield, weekend breaks or walking holidays.
I enjoy hills and flat walks of any distance, also cycling (off road), and usually have a couple of dogs tagging along. Scrambling is always a challenge I'm up for, but not anything too scary, not keen on massive drops!
I'm keen to do more long distance, multi day walks, preferably with BandB or hostel/bunkhouse accommodation. I've done a few Explore walking holidays, which have been great fun, and I'd love to try some of the cycling holidays or self guided walks abroad.

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Aberdeen City.

My Message: Hello,

My names is James and I am a Scot. I live and work in Aberdeen.

Synopses of my out-door life:-

Been walking and hiking all over Scotland for the past years. I normally try and get away as much as possible, both winter and summer. I have a Camper-van that I take with me every-time I can get away.

My plans are usually structured in a pattern that involves getting to the location of the climb, park-up Hovis (camper-van) and start the climb. I normally try and ensure that the route will take in a night or two of - wild camping under a canvas - listening to a menacingly howling gale on the outside while quietly thinking (praying) "have I hammered my tent pegs in the ground well-enough to out-last the storm on the outside:) I also use Bothy's if they are on my route, and - hope when I stumble across one that there is stone fireplace inside, where I can try and get a fire up and running - and hopefully try and get the surrounding stone warm enough for some heat-retention that might last the night. I also try and structure a night in my plan to factor in a bunk-house and / or Youth-Hostel. After my climb I head back to my start position, pick up Hovis and head away to the next random location. I spent a few weeks last year in Skye doing exactly this, however-I still never achieve all my ambitions that this truly beautiful location has to offer. My plan this year 2015 is to go back and carry on where I left off.

The type of person that I enjoy spending my time with on this wonderful pursuit is a person that is:- full of life, and is not put off with some rough days of challenging Scottish weather. In addition to this, I would like to get some addition wild camping experience in with someone who also enjoys battling the elements.

I have various interests which range from Genetics to how the universe operates and the day to day challenge we have to overcome each day of this amazing world we all live in. I also enjoy the company of people who specialise in all aspects of things outdoors. Geology along with the basics of human Physiology also interest me.

So if you are up for cold weather, a night or two in my camper, the odd Bothy, bunkhouse and youth-hostel or sitting on top of the Cuillins watching the sun go down please let me know and we can perhaps arrange to share some truly amazing events that we receive as gifts from an entity we call nature. A force that shares - each and every day of this vast structure of our planet we all live on.

Motto:- There is no such thing as bad weather, only inadequate clothing :)

Thanks James.

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

My Message: Hi, I am Simon a 55 year old male from Carlisle. I love the outdoors and the hills and mountains in particular. I live close to the Lakes which I adore, but my greatest passion is for the Scottish Highlands, in particular the far north west, with Skye and Torridon being my favourites. I have to confess to being a 'bagger. ' I also enjoy a good scramble. However, I enjoy shorter and less strenuous walks along glens and valleys and along beaches and headlands.

I am out in the Lakes regularly and go to the Highlands as often as I can. I have made a number of bothy and camping trips, as well as staying in hostels and B and B's. The odd foray to Snowdonia has usually met with bad weather, but I live in hope.

I am looking for a female who enjoys exploring the wild and beautiful mountainous areas of our islands, and shares my passion for reaching the top.

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

My Message: Hi, I'm a 50 something! bloke that loves walking, we are not talking mountain climbing here, just nice easy to strenuous walks. I keep fairly fit and walk/cycle whenever I can. I used to take my dog with me everywhere, but sadly I lost my old faithful friend a couple of weeks ago, so if you have a dog that's great. I am self employed and can go out and about more or less whenever the urge takes me! I am looking for a female walking companion, because walking with somebody to chit chat to is a lot more fun. I am no orienteering expert and tend to rely on idiot guides, being an idiot I find them simple to follow!! I live in the blairgowrie area.

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

My Message: Hi, My name is Rob and I live in Peterborough. I'm easy going and love good conversation, interested in all sorts of things and always interested to learn. I used to be a member of a local club but the large numbers and the clickyness (is that a word) that you seemed to get, put me off. I love walking in Derbyshire and the lakes. I have climbed the old man at Coniston and two years ago did Tyfan in Wales by the North face (although to be honest I was out of my comfort zone at times). The club I was in regualary did 10-13 miles walks but I havent' done this for a year or two so might have to build up the distance again. I would love to meet up with like minded females/males to get back into walking again at weekends as I work all week. I have a reliable car and dont mind travel as long as theirs a pint at a local pub at the end of the walk! I have basic map reading although very rusty and would like to get better at this again. I look forward to hearing from you.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 50s, based near Lyndhurst /Exmoor.

My Message: Hi I am a fairly fit heterosexual lady who would love to find a walking companion. I run a pub in the New Forest which is when I walk daily with my dogs but I spend alot of my time in Exmoor on my days off, where I also walk. I tend to walk much longer walks down there as obviously I have more time. I love taking time out to explore new areas especially Scotland which I have visited a lot but find it a bit lonely on my own all the time. I love staying in my camper in remote places and travelling around discovering new places in the British Isles. I would obviously like to meet the love of my life but to find a likewise person who is bright, loves the countryside, can cope with my dogs and enjoys walking with me would be great. I can walk up to 8 /10 miles easily and love picnics, or a visit to a pub. Anyone that would like to meet for a walk in the New Forest or Exmoor (or anywhere really.. there are so many places to see) please get in touch. I run from my pub a dog walk on the 1st Sunday in the month. Feel free anyone with a mut that would like to come along.

I am a Female Walker, in my late 60s, based near Halstead.

My Message: I live in North Essex and initially would like a companion for coastal walking in Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk but with opportunities to go further afield and up into the hills in the future. I prefer ambling to route marches as I love looking at the scenery, plants, rocks, wild life etc. as I go. I'm trying to improve my map reading skills as my sense of direction is virtually non-existant (one reason it's good to walk on the coast!) so if planning and map reading are your strengths I'm willing to exploit them.

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 Female Walker, in my early 40s, based near Birmingham.

My Message: Hello there I seem to have ticked an awful lot of boxes where I would like to walk. Im not sure if it was meant to be areas where you would like to access in a weekend. If so I obviously wont be able to go to some of these (eg orkney!).
Anyway Im writing this as i hope to find more friends to go on walking trips with and maybe even walking holidays. Ive done walking hols abroad in the past but they have mainly been with companies like Exodus. I'd like to do my own trips with some like minded friends in the future.
But for now I'd just be happy to meet some people to do trips at the weekend with. Ive done quite a bit of walking with walking clubs in the past but I'd like to make it a bit more adventurous by going with friends and finding our own way.
Anyway I wont waffle on too much for now and hope to hear from someone!
