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

My Message: Hi- my name is Anne and I 'm looking to find new walking friends- male or female- who are interested in exploring different areas of the countryside and maybe also visiting historical houses, national trust properties and the local hostelries and cafes. I now have a lot more time in the week as well as weekends so want to use this to do more walking and exploring. I am sociable, friendly, like having fun and make friends easily but lots of my friends are still working full time - don't want you to think I am billy no mates! If you are interested in joining me on a walk let me know or if I could join you on a walk you are planning on going on that would be great. I'm happy to travel a couple of hours by car or train.

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Keighley.

My Message: Hi. I'm a keen walker, with a very friendly and even more enthusiastic springer spaniel companion. Having just taken early retirement I'm looking for new friend(s), male or female, to walk with at anytime but especially during the week. Whilst I love blue skies and balmy weather, I'm happy to walk in pretty much anything Mother Nature cares to throw at us ! And fantastic though a well earned hot drink from a thermos at the top of a hill is, I also enjoy the prospect of a coffee in a cafe or even a pub meal at the end. I have a car and whilst I am particularly fond of the Yorkshire Dales, I'd be happy to travel to explore new areas, especially with a new friend as a guide. Thanks for reading and please get in touch. Bev.

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

My Message: Hi I am 56 and live in London. I am looking for occasional walking companions mainly during the week (so suit self-employed and the like) to do 10 (ish) mile walks within easy reach of London. I would also be interested in further afield walks if they were over 2/3 days. I'm happy to wild camp but can also do B&B's. I am fairly fit (did the Coast to Coast a couple of years ago with my then 21 year old son) and play tennis regularly but am not looking for a route march. I don't mind arduous but it's more about communing with nature than any competitive streak. If interested please get in touch. Mark

My Message: Hi,
I'm a semi retired fire officer 55 years of age with a genuine passion for the outdoors, all weathers and the life that goes with it. That includes good food and beer or wine at the many great hostelries that this country and others can offer. I love to laugh most of all and get pleasure from making others do the same. Fancy a walk?

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

My Message: Hi I'm looking for a walking mate to share walks in Derbyshire and the Lake District. I walk at the weekends, don't mind what the weather is like, flat or hills but I love to walk at the side if a stream. I like to look at the scenery and not rush about. Really don't like to route March, like a good chat or walk quiet I don't mind. I like to get off the beaten track and away from the crowds. Love to feel the fresh air and take in the scenery. Not so good at map reading i do have to work at it but I do honestly really enjoy it. I love looking at maps and I enjoy planning walks and finding my way around and would love to plan and navigate walks with someone who feels the same. I would like to discover new places to walk this year and am willing to travel to discover fresh places, I'm willing to camp. If this appeals please get in touch. Happy walking Mandy

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

My Message: Hello there, I am looking for company - preferably male so he can help carry the picnic- to walk in North Yorkshire or the Lake District at weekends. I drive a desk all week so only escape for weekends and holidays. In recent years my walking has mostly been in the Lakes( I have managed a few Wainwrights although for me it's more about enjoying the fresh air and scenery than ticking the boxes) but would like to see more of the North Yorkshire moors and the Dales as they are closer to my home on Teesside but I realise I do not make the most of them! If any of this strikes a chord please drop me a line :) T

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

My Message: Having recently lost my regular walking buddy to a new romance I am looking for a companion who is keen to share ' Days to remember'! I am lucky to have lots of friends locally who enjoy sharing the great outdoors but I am keen to find a special someone who will perhaps have time to walk more of the world with me. I do have some basic navigational skills which I am keen to develop alongside a trusted companion who would be happy to face those unexpected times of adversity together and find rays of sunshine in wet mountain days!
I generally love to be active and outdoors and am always curious to see what's around the corner. I am as happy walking to the end of the road on a moonlit night as I am to share a wet dog by an open fire or a view from a bivey bag bed on a mountain top!
I live near the Dartmoor national park but have walked in the Pyrenees, Scotland, Wales and the Lakes and would be happy sharing adventures around the UK and Europe although I might be persuaded to go further afield.

I am a Male Walker, in my late 40s, based near Liverpool.

My Message: I’m an enthusiastic lover of hiking, scrambling and more recently camping.

Looking for walking buddies (mainly female or a small group) to explore Snowdonia (all year round). Have done the Snowdon horseshoe twice and the following routes many times; Watkin Path, Miners’ Track, Pyg Track and the Llanberis Path. One of the best experiences was walking alone up Snowdon at night for sunrise and not encountering anyone on the way or on the summit. Sunrise - breathtaking! Well I tell a fib, I did encounter three people (very briefly) whilst on the summit (before sunrise) who appeared to be running up - all I could see was the beam of light from their headlamps. Reminded me of the woods scene in E. T. the movie. They asked me to take their photo as evidence - the last leg of their 3 Peak’s Challenge!! I do like challenges but more importantly for me it’s the beauty of Snowdonia that makes me return several times a year - I can never tire of the place!

Future spring/summer walks - Tryfan, Bristly Ridge and the Snowdon horseshoe (horseshoe also at night - only in excellent conditions on a clear night with moonlight).

Havn’t done any scrambling in Scotland but would love to do the Cuillin Ridge traverse and the An Teallach traverse.

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 Female Walker, in my early 50s, based near Glasgow.

My Message: I am just getting back to walking again after a good few years bringing up my children. I don't really want to be in a large walking group so thought I'd try this site to find someone who I could go walking with and help remind me what I used to love so much. I would prefer someone who was quite experienced and knew what they were doing with maps and compasses as, although I'm not bad at map reading, I used to leave it to my ex partner. I always loved walking in Arran and have climbed a few munros in my time. I am available mostly at weekends and some weekdays during school holidays.

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 Female Walker, in my early 50s, based near Nr Glasgow.

My Message: Hi, I live near Glasgow and would like some company to explore new places walking and cycling. I like the chat but I am not keen on large walking groups so thought I would give this site a go. I am relatively fit and while I like the challenge of getting to the top for the views I also enjoy gentle walks and the relaxing well earned drink at the end of the day in a pub or a good tea room. I have done various walks in Scotland and the Lake district but useless at navigation relying on previous walking partners to make sure I got back home, another good reason I don't walk alone. So please get in touch if you also want some company, I work full time so only available at weekends.
