I am a Female Walker, in my late 50s, based near Crosby hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: I love walking and being outdoors in all weather. I'm in some walking clubs but these have been suspended at present. The last walk I did with a club was Snowdon and I usually do the A walks which are graded the most difficult. Over the summer I've been walking and cycling (not mountain biking) in France including the Pyrenees. Nevertheless I feel that I will need to build up my fitness again with walking and I'm currently in quarantine.
I want to work up Wainright's coast to coast, hopefully before Christmas. I'm freelance so have some flexibility to walk midweek as well as weekends.
I'm also interested in meeting someone to do local walks with, in between the big walks! I'm looking for walking friends, not for a relationship. I have a couple of friends who enjoy walking but get sick of waiting for people to be available! I'm not good at map reading or using a compass but have just bought a compass and definitely want to improve my navigational skills. Hope to hear from you either locally or to meet at arranged walks 😃

When it comes to Scrambling & Edges I'm OK with the occasional edge or scramble but don't go looking for it. I'm happy to walk in all weathers - sunshine, snow, hail, wind & rain - bring it on. I'm not bothered about dogs one way or the other. If pushed, I'd say my map reading & navigation skills are rather poor at best. I can drive and have a car.

I am also interested in:

• Camping on Campsites - Camping where there is a shop, toilets, showers & possibly a pub;
• Wild Camping - Camping out in the wilds well away from anyone & any facilities;
• Long Distance Path Walking - Multi-day walks like The Pennine Way, Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk;

Important: For the avoidence of doubt I am definitely not looking for anything other than someone to go walking with.

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 70s, based near Chester hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi, my name is Chris. I am a fairly experienced walker from Chester. My wife no longer walks seriously, so I would be interested to meet a companion (female or male) to join me walking - preferably in the Lake District where I have a holiday home near to Kendal.

In 2019 I completed Hadrians Wall, and In 2018 the West Highland Way, and previously the Coast to Coast, The Wicklow Way and the Dingle Way in Ireland.

I prefer to walk in company these days though not in groups, and enjoy stimulating conversation, taking the time to savour my surroundings and enjoying the wonderful views these sceptred isles present. I have a good sense of humour, and can see the funny side of most things! I am always accompanied by at least 2 of my working Springer Spaniels.

As I am retired, every day is the weekend for me.

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Ludlow hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hello, I am looking for male/female walking friends. As I work all week it would mainly be for weekend walking, whether a day walk or an weekend away. If you are local to me then happy to do some evening walks in the week.

I would say I have a good level of fitness, map skills get me by (most of the time!).

I am happy on most terrains in any weather and any area at a pace to enjoy the surroundings. I like doing trails, either as a linear walk or doing in sections and making a circular walk.

In an ideal world it would be good to meet some walk mates to plan some trips for in the UK or overseas(open to ideas).

Would be great to hear from you.

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Darlington hoping to meet just Male new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi I'm Annette and I'm looking for a new walking friend. I prefer not to walk in a group.
I'm in my mid 60's and I've loved walking all my life. For me it's not about how many miles I've done or how high I've climbed, it's simply being out there enjoying the surroundings and feeling free and happy.
Due to a change on my personal circumstances I find myself walking alone quite often, but sharing the day with someone else us much nicer.
Anyway, thanks for reading this and I hope someone will get in touch.

I am a Male Walker, in my early 60s, based near Brierfield hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hello. I'm an athletic and active 62 yr old male (who still thinks he's 25). I retired from policing and all those years of walking the beat. I've been back packing around the world, done Kilimanjaro, Everest Base Camp, Machu Picchu etc. but still loads to see. It would be great to explore with a like minded female companion or any groups. I'm based in Brierfield near Burnley but, as a part time Sports Coach and Squash addict, I've got time, spontaneity, solvency and inclination to bag those peaks. So do get in touch... I won't use anything in evidence against you!!

I am a Male Walker, in my late 60s, based near Menston hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Dear fellow walkers
I'm a retired teacher living in Wharfedale hoping to meet like-minded individual(s) who share my passion for the countryside and the environment and would like a walking companion for the odd day out to the Dales initially.
I'm an experienced fell-walker and did MLC part 1 some time ago and certainly prefer maps to satnavs. However I also enjoy more modest valley walks (12-15 miles) and did the Offas Dyke path a few years ago.
I'm also a musician (singer and composer),keen gardener, environmentalist (CAT member), and amateur foraging mycologist who enjoys debate and discussion as well as silent observation of birds and wildlife when the time is right!
I have an electric car, largely solar powered and live 5 minutes walk from Menston station.

I am a Male Walker, in my early 80s, based near Linlithgowish hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi! Hope you are fit and curious.
I live twixt Edinburgh and Glasgow;the Forth and the Wallace monument are visible from the window of my snug 1 bed flat.
Born March 43, writer, reader,lifelong sportsman, still good for average walks. 6'2" 87kg.
N.B.I am just 80 not "early eighties". Like a 6 year old who is "6 and a half". It matters to me.
Full licence but no car.
The complex here boasts a cosy visitors' flat with twin beds which I can book for you at low cost.
There are fine local walks and a gateway to the rest of Scotland.
Animal lover; always had at least a dog till 2008.
Now I get my canine highs by pet sitting and having a pocketful of dog bickies. It leads to interesting encounters.
Walked Portuguese route of Camino in 2013. Would happily repeat.
'Twould be marvellous to walk with a female companion.
I play plenty of golf and follow sports, especially football but would willingly override that for some companionable walking.
Do make contact!

I am a Female Walker, in my early 60s, based near London hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: I live in London, but have done lots of long distance path walking,including the SW coastal path and the Cumbria Way and a fair bit of mountain walking in Scotland: Arran, the Cairngorms, Mull, Assynt... I would love to explore more countryside, mostly the northern half of the country and Ireland, which I'm sorry to say I've never been to!

I was a bike commuter for many years which has given me a good level of fitness and I still love cycling in the city, preferring to keep away from busy roads.

Don't be put off by the fact that I live in London! I can travel!!

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 60s, based near The Cotswolds hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Walking is my main form of exercise and I have completed several long distance trails (eg C2C, Offa's Dyke, Cumbria Way etc) sometimes in groups and sometimes solo. Also enjoy day walks to interesting historical/geographical places or to explore new territory. Generally walk in the UK from April to October, but it is usually mainland Spain or the Canaries during the winter months. Group walking has its downsides and sometimes it's nice to walk with a like-minded companion with whom to share the countryside and perhaps enjoy a drink/meal on completion. Being retired, I'm flexible when and where I can do day walks or longer adventures. Would anyone care to join me?

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 70s, based near Bradford, West Yorkshire hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hello, I'm Roy, a young at heart fell walker looking for an easy going walking companion for walks both at home and abroad. I love the countryside so I'm not really fussed about particular areas in this country. The ones I've selected are where I walk regularly but would like to explore a little further afield and don't mind travelling to a decent walk. Abroad, my favourite walking areas are within the Mediterranean Climate Regions (prefer the more reliable weather!). Not into route marches or wild camping. Much prefer to take in the scenery, wildlife, local history and a suitable hostelry en route! I also have a wide range of other interests which include cycling, hot air ballooning, theatre and travel. I'm also pet friendly so don't mind a canine companion coming along. Look forward to hearing from you, Roy.

My Preferred Walk Grades*: 1:2:3:4:5:6:

My Preferred Walk Areas:
North East England; North West England; Yorkshire; The English Midlands;
(click each link to see other walkers wanting to walk there)

A bit more about me:

I can cope with a little bit of scrambling if it is short and there are no steep drops. I prefer warm, dry & sunny weather but can cope with the odd shower. I like walking with dogs but do not have one of my own. I'd say my map reading & navigation skills are pretty good. I can drive and have a car.

I am also interested in:

• Long Distance Path Walking - Multi-day walks like The Pennine Way, Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk;
• Road Cycling

I am not actively looking for anyone other than a new walking companion but if that right person came along . . .

I am a Female Walker, in my late 50s, based near Swansea hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: I'm 58 and live near Gower/Swansea and would love to meet new walking companions as most of my friends aren't interested and the ones who are, have other demands on their time.
Unfortunately, due to concerns around Covid I haven't managed to go walking, or get out and about in general, as much as I would like in the last couple of years. I've just started again, weather permitting, although I'm not particularly fond of walking alone, but I have to rebuild my fitness and stamina. If I was lucky enough to meet someone local to me then I envisage perhaps doing a few relatively easy walks around Gower/Pembrokeshire initially and then tackling some steeper hills and mountains. I dislike winter intensely but am quite able to go walking in cold conditions (a few Western Canadian winters toughened me up in that regard).
I work full-time and am also doing an OU degree so until the lighter evenings return I'm tied to weekends, mainly in South/West/Mid Wales. Once spring arrives, however, I'd be happy to take leave from work to walk locally or further afield. I've been walking and camping in the Canadian Rockies, plus various N American National Parks, several times and I want to go back to Dartmoor and N Devon, Ireland and the Lake District in the coming years. I'd also like to hike in Scotland, Norway eg Lofoten Islands and the Grand Canyon and definitely want to visit Cuba someday.
I'm a bit of a contradiction really, being an introverted extrovert; however, I can get along with most people and hold my own on various subjects. I've noticed that there are many donkeys missing hind legs in my vicinity although I do also enjoy peace and quiet and just being aware of and contemplating nature. I love dogs, horses and most other animals, and my interests include music, reading, camping, travelling, summer nights in beer gardens, comedy clubs, spirituality, being by the sea, swimming, geography, history, politics and volunteering. I'm a car owner/driver and am happy to travel across the UK and Ireland. I often think about sea swimming but that's as far as I've got, so if you're into that then all the better!

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Glasgow hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi, I live in Glasgow, with my border collie Rannoch, not too far from Loch Lomond. I used to be a regular walker in my younger days and I'm looking to get back into the great outdoors but would prefer to do it with some company, so I am looking for new friends to go walking with.
In the past I did the West Highland Way three times, The Great Glen Way once. Nowadays I'm a lot slower but I find that a good thing as it means I'm out in the green stuff longer.
I'm easy going, enjoy new challenges, and always up for a laugh, life's too short to be too serious !!!
I like to play guitar, love nature, wildlife, taking photos, and enjoy the simple pleasures in life.
If you fancy some company on a walk please get in touch.

I really don't like Scrambling & Edges - they are defintely not for me. With regard to the weather, this is the UK so it's going to rain sooner or later isn't it? Fine with me, I've got waterproofs. I like walking with dogs and will bring my own. If pushed, I'd say my map reading & navigation skills are rather poor at best. I can drive and have my own Campervan/Motorhome.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 50s, based near West Malling hoping to meet just Male new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi everyone, I'm katherine and love walking as much as the rest of you. I would like to go walking and mountaineering with someone who is as passionate about the mountains as I am. Was hoping to go wild camping this year for a weekend in the summer so if you are up for that I'd love the company as I won't do on my own.

I've done a lot of the Lakes having spent all my holidays there. Recently completed Ben Nevis with my teenagers! Boy that was hard work but we achieved it. So basically that means we've done the 3 peaks and looking to attempt lots more this year.

I live in the Kent and regularly go cycling along the north downs. I walk reguarly but its so much better to have someone with you. If there happens to be a special person out there hey that's great, if not just making new friends would be fabulous too.

Looking forward to hearing from you

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Ribchester hoping to meet just Male new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi, Lesley here,

As well as day walking I love to combine walking with holidays and adventures, even if it's just a couple of days.

Last year I travelled to Jersey and walked the whole coastal path. Had a wonderful week in Wales walking around the Cadair Idris region. Went to Croatia to swim in the sea, visit nature reserve islands, cycle and walk. Walked the whole of the Camino Primitivo which starts in the Asturias mountains region of Northern Spain, through Galicia and ends in Santiago.
Also quite a few festivals and days camping and hiking in the Lake District.

I'm going back to Jersey this year taking my daughter and 3 yr old grandson. We went to Alpbach in Austria last summer. The only way I can get my family up a mountain is via a ski lift! Great fun though.

I've also planned a week walking on the Greek Island of Evia. So lots of space left for walking adventures as yet.

I've previously walked all the Lake District summits, extensively in Snowdonia and Scotland and in my own neck of the woods, The Forest of Bowland AONB. I potter around here most days when I'm free.

I love being outdoors and although I love sunshine I'll walk in any weather if the mood takes me. I particularly love coast and ridge walking however I can enjoy the peaceful beauty of rivers and woodlands at times.

I'm interested in wildlife and nature, family and friends, art and architecture, philosophy, yoga and music.

I gave up work as an advisory teacher 8 years ago to project manage a full property restoration and self build which is now complete but I doubt I'll ever be finished. I love adding areas! This year it's a gorgeous greenhouse and raised vegetable beds. I've got to grow the 'turnip tops' I lived on when I travelled through Spain on the Camino!

I'm fortunate to have time to explore and adventure.
Love to hear from you.

I am a Male Walker, in my early 60s, based near Shrewsbury, Shropshire hoping to meet just Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hi Folks
I've recently rediscovered my love of hiking and camping after years of neglect - one small positive to come out of Covid....I'm looking for some walking buddies to help push, drag and cagole me back to where I was years ago!

I've had to cancel treks to Everest Base Camp twice due to different reasons - fancy trekking in Nepal?

Fairly relaxed about venue although Wales and Peak District closest and no real aspirations apart from EBC sometime. Only relevant hobbies are running (Coach with a running club) and photography. 🙂

Be nice to hear from you.
Best wishes
Glenn

I am a Female Walker, in my early 60s, based near Exeter hoping to meet both Male and Female new friends to go walking with.

My Message: Hello!
I'm 60 and a self confessed walkaholic! It's really nice to think there are others who share my love of connecting with the natural world in a way that feeds the heart and soul. In recent years, I have done several long distance walks over 2-6 weeks. This is the way I most enjoy walking. It's good to have a destination but the journey and the lovely people you meet along the way are much more important to me. One of the reasons I love long distance walking is having the freedom to walk as long as it's enjoyable and safe rather than feeling I have to reach a particular point on the map each day. I generally walk about 10 miles a day depending on the terrain, and make it possible with a mix of wild and tame camping as well as the odd night in civilisation.
Over the last year, I haven't been for an adventure because I've had a beautiful Ukrainian family living with me. They now have their own home so I'm ready to walk again.🥾 Normally I walk alone and enjoy the peace and stillness that lone walking brings. I'm now beginning to think that it would be sensible to have a buddy to walk with. When I walk alone, I rarely get lost but when walking with friends, we frequently get lost because we're talking so much. :) Therefore I am hoping to find a confident map reader to walk with!
Quite recently I have been widowed and am now looking to embrace life and all the good things it has to offer. I work part time and my hours are flexible making it quite easy to go for a walk. I would love to hear from you if your love of walking in wild places resonates with mine.
