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

My Message: Hi my name is Richard, I am a keen North Kent/London runner and walker of 57 years. I like nothing more than to explore the great outdoors on foot. Its funny I started walking some years back and when realising I was not as fit as I thought I started to run to improve my hill stamina and caught the bug. I have walked all over the UK either in groups or solo including the West Highland Way, half of the Southwest Coastal Path and half of Offa’s Dyke, I’d love to finish these walks one day. The South Downs Way was a great walk achieved in chunks. I have been very interested for a long time and admired the achievements of others who have climbed Mount Everest and finally achieved a lifetime ambition with friends and trekked to Everest Base Camp a few years back, why…’because its there’. I am just back from a trek to Machu Picchu, an incredible life experience. So, where to now, looking for a new challenge with new company.

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

My Message: HI, Late 50’s single male walker looking to meet up with a female kindred spirit.
Reasonably experienced and fit I can walk an occasional week end, but mainly midweek.
Although the Peak district is nearest to me I am willing to travel to new walks in different areas.
An inspiring, energetic hike, whether in the hills or following local footpaths with a packed lunch followed by a pub meal is a day well spent, and better shared.
So if you're local or further a field and think we may get along, I look forward to hearing from you.

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

My Message: I enjoy walking most weekends in Wales and the Lakes and the rest of the North West in summer, and further afield on holiday.
In winter I like walking abroad. Map reading is not a strong point so normally walk with groups or friends and have walked parts of several of the long distance footpaths, particularly enjoyed the Wales Coastsl path as well as quite a few Wainwrights.

I enjoy urban walks too and would like to meet someone whose map reading skills are better than mine and shares my passion for the great outdoors.
Other passions include travelling, 80s music, theatre, foreign cinema, cake, chocolate and languages.
I am based in Merseyside and happy to meet for a day walk in the area or further afield.

My Message: Hello. I am a fit and active 56yr old male living near Preston. I'm a very keen walker and will go anywhere within 100 miles for day walks or anywhere in the UK for weekends away/short breaks. I'm hoping to meet a lady between the ages of 46-58 for friendship initially and if the chemistry is right between us then hopefully we can become more than good friends. I'm looking for someone who enjoys walking and a good chat and a laugh and maybe have a drink/bar snack at a nice country pub afterwards. If you are interested, why not get in touch. Ray

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

My Message: Hello. I love walking and would enjoy meeting new people (male or female) to walk with. I have 3 dogs (a cocker spaniel, a terrier cross and recently acquired a rescue dog from Bulgaria who is a black and cream fluffy mixed breed about collie size but looks like a miniature husky) the 2 older dogs are very well behaved and the young pup (9 months) is getting there. I love my dogs, but would enjoy the company of human beings too!

I can walk quite long distances, but need to do a bit of 'view appreciation' during longer uphill climbs. I live on the outskirts of Gloucester, but am happy to travel within reason. I have a tent and like to go camping in the better weather.

Would like to meet companions with a good sense of humour and easy going. Whilst I have only ticked the easily accessible regions for walking adjacent to where I live.

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

My Message: Hi, I'm based in Berkshire but willing to travel. I'm am interested in all sorts of walking, whether it be routes from guides or just picking up a map and heading off. Love the idea of the long distance paths, and have been working my way along the North Downs Way with a friend for a few years now - who knows we might finish this year. I started the Thames Path by accident in 2015 and have since completed approximately one third of it (Culham to Kingston) - obviously started in the middle and have been working my way backwards and forwards! I'd love to do other long distance paths such as South Downs Way, London loop, Coast to Coast and am seriously considering starting the South West Coast path this year. Happy to do them in bite sized chunks or in bigger sections. Generally most of my walking has been done solo and I'm happy with my own company, but equally like walking with others. I'd love to join up with like minded either single walkers or groups. Have been known to climb the odd mountain - Snowdon and Carauntoohil the most notable - and the Lake District is somewhere I'm keen to walk in. Look forward to hearing from any like-minded walkers.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 50s, based near Stourport-on-severn.

My Message: I've just come home from work, walking all day in the Worcestershire countryside in the sun with a pack of dogs, including my own. Having served my time climbing hills and mountains with groups of children in the Outdoor Education sector, I now spend my working hours walking with dogs and feel it would be good and healthy to spend my leisure time walking with adult company. About me - my name is Alison (50 next year and planning various walking trips to celebrate) and if you walk with me you walk with my Collie, Gwenon. For me its about being out there in the countryside, listening to the birds, hugging the trees, reconnecting with the natural world, catching the views as much as bagging peaks - although this is always an added bonus. I am as happy in the lowlands, in the woods, by the sea as I am navigating my way across highlands and moorland. I am a sound navigator and enjoy exploring as well as working out the maths! I enjoy exploring off the beaten track and have also been known to while away my time playing in the stream. If any of this sounds appealing and you are willing to join me being out there in the wild or not so wild, get in touch.

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

My Message: Hi, I love walking mostly in North Wales. The Clwydian range is my local area, I walk in Snowdonia and around the North Wales coast fairly often. Then other areas of the UK and beyond on occasions too. I've fallen in love with Skye and Harris/Lewis so given any excuse will also drive to Scotland, although secretly want a helicopter... Looking to explore Torridon and other areas of northern Scotland more in the future too.

I'd love to meet new people who love walking.

My Message:
Hi everyone, this is the first time I have used this message board or anything like it so I am not exactly sure what to put. I am 56 coming up 57 and am on my own. As for the graded walks I am not sure, but I like to walk the hills in the Lake District and equally like a low level walk through the valleys. I don't like to start a walk when it's pouring down, but have got caught in the rain many a time whilst out. I've ticked a few of the boxes regards where I would like to walk but would be glad to go anywhere where there is countryside, woods etc. I would be glad to here from anyone, male or female with similar interests. If anyone would like anymore information please contact me any time.

I am a Male Walker, in my early 30s, based near Birmingham.

My Message: Hi all fellow walkers! I'm a 32 year old single male looking for male or female walkers and hiking buddies to explore the local region, notably the Peak District, Parts of Wales such as the Brecon Beacons or Snowdonia and the Lakes and Beyond in the Scottish Highlands. I'm reasonably fit and active, as I run or cycle often, and have done a touch of scrambling in Wales. I'm relatively new to it all, so by no means super experienced, but I'd love to share and learn from other walkers and individuals and go and explore what the great outdoors has to offer! I can navigate ( in basic terms!) and I own a trusty walking GPS along with all mapping paraphernalia. If you'd like to meet a fun, young, fit and open minded give-it-a-go walker who will attempt anything at least once (despite my fear of heights!) then I look forward to hearing from you!

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

My Message: Hello

My name is Terri

I'm new to this site and looking for new walking friends as most of my friends have now lost motivation. I am a life long walker and cannot imagine life without walking!

I live in lovely Ludlow and know the Shropshire Hills very well. I walk often in the Peak District, the Brecon Beacons and Wales all of which are within striking distance of here. I have family in France so also walk regularly in Europe particularly in the French and Spanish Pyrennees and next year have planned to do the camino from St. Jean de Luz.

I am no longer working full time but am nowhere near ready to slow down. This means I have time to travel and enjoy new walking opportunities as well as make new friends who like me, love the great outdoors.

Please contact me if you would like to walk with me either in the UK or Europe.

Bon Voyage!

Terri

I am looking for male walking companions who may be interested in walking with an interesting female. I live in north Essex but happy to travel. If you are retired that would be a bonus.
Someone who is educated and capable of a good conversation, and of course, good at map reading. Someone I can laugh along with way with would be great. Tall, even, if I can be that picky.

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

My Message: Hi Fellow Hikers,

Aw, c'mon, I don't bite... I am still waiting to hear from those elusive, prospective walking partners!
Fifty year old female looking for walking companions in Staffordshire/Cheshire areas. I am not looking for love or an affair as I live with my partner, and am after nothing more than on a platonic basis as I am happy with the man I am with!

I prefer one-to-one or a small group company... and although I prefer male company, I am happy to have female company too...

Currently I do most of my walking in the Peak district, but would like to venture further afield also; I am up for day walks and weekend-long walks.

I like photography, riding motorbikes, land art and sculpture, Radio 4, nature, mountains, hills and the usual fab scenery.

On a personal note, I swear, sweat, am intelligent, forgetful, can be abrasive and charming, don't like bullsh*t, am very honest and what you see is what you get.

I am based in South Cheshire, have a car, and would prefer people who are local (ish) to me.

Happy to walk in all weathers... not very good at navigation but would like to learn.

I am a Female Walker, in my early 60s, based near Prestatyn.

My Message: Hi my name is Mai. I am 63 years old,long since divorced and happily single. Family all grown up. I'm looking to kick start my love of walking again. Walked a lot in Snowdonia and the lakes in the past but sadly have lapsed now, so not hugely fit! Would love to meet up with similar age people particularly in North Wales area. Can only do weekends as I work during the week, I am a TA. I'm easy going and chatty and definitely don't feel 63! Not very good with a map and not into route marches. Love coast or hills, though prefer country. Always a bonus to finish off with a beer! If you have a free Saturday or Sunday to enjoy the autumn glory feel free to get in touch☺

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Llandrindod Wells.

My Message: There is nothing better than for me to be out walking in the hills and mountains of Wales (home now) or Scotland (home for 6 years until 2012) with my 2 spaniels. I would prefer to be out and about, joking and laughing with close friends rather than watching mind numbing TV on my own. I'm a Yorkshire lad, so any testing peak, anywhere in the UK or Europe, I would give it my best shot. There has to be some common sense prevailing when the location is chosen, so Wales, the Peak District, Cumbria, the South West would be easier to say yes to. Wild Camping, BandB, inns with good food and ale, I'm up for all of it, provided my dogs get to come too.

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

My Message: My husband and l have always walked on and off as we lose motivation. We have restarted walking and would love to keep the momentum going. We are in our mid 40s and love each other company but we will welcome other companies in order to keep us motivated. We can easily do 8-12miles walks but happy to try to do more. We live in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire and would love to join couples, single men or women for weekend walks around the surrounding counties such as Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Berkshire, London, Essex and Oxfordshire. We would love to go for some famous walks such as the Yorkshire Dales, Dartmoor.... on a long weekend trip. So, if you think we can motivate each other, please let us know.

I am a Male Walker, in my early 60s, based near Haverfordwest.

My Message: Hi, I just love walking, landscape, wildlife, geology, trees, plants, well everything out in the wild or countryside really. I currently live in Pembrokeshire an area I really love but I'm moving to Libanus near Brecon shortly to be nearer my three daughters and my work ( which is now house and pet sitting mostly in the southern half of England). I'm single and my job is wonderful but quite isolating so I'd like to meet someone (female) for company, conversation, laughter, ( not much laughter on your own) sharing (no sharing either) on walks, in pubs or anywhere. I'm an experienced walker and have walked over many places in Britain and Ireland, Pyrenees and Alps, I'm especially familiar with the Brecon Beacons and Pembrokeshire. My job takes me all over Southern Britain mostly but not always South of the M4 and gives me lots of opportunities to walk in some beautiful areas. I love reading, live music and theatre, real ale, cinema (but I can't seem to go on my own), travel, meeting people from other countries, single malts, laughing etc,etc.and I'd like to meet someone please.
