I am a Female Walker, in my mid 60s, based near Haxey, North Lincs.

My Message: hello I am quite young in my outlook, have just started strenuous walking again over the last few years (and I am loveing it). Can manage up to about 12 miles so far but looking to stretch myself even further. Used to do mountain scrambling and lots of challenge walks although not competitive anymore would still like to do the distance looking for male or female companions. can map read to a certain extent enough for marked paths anyway but having done lots of walking in the past know my way round quite a few. Wouldn't mind doing a walking holiday at some stage. No probs with distance have own transport and now retired am free quite a lot of the time.

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

My Message: I used to spend a lot of time walking in Snowdonia. Recently had a major health scare (Cardiac Arrest) and now looking at pastures closer to home (Peak District etc) to get me back into the walking way. I have lost my fitness and I have an ICD implant [shocking I know ;)]. Ideally looking to walk with someone on some easy walks at first. Someone who can understand my situation (not push me too hard to begin with) and my fears (probably only psychological). I used to be pretty fit and game for anything but need to be a bit careful for a while until I feel comfortable again. I have car.

I am a Male Walker, in my mid 50s, based near Newcastle Under Lyme.

My Message: Man who likes unhurried hill walks in all weathers, not too bad with a map and a compass, seeks an adventurous, intelligent, arts-loving female companion. Good walking company and good conversation are all I'm looking for - I'm not a predator out to snag a mate :)
I drive and can go for walks on weekdays. I love camping too in case that floats anyone's boat.

I'd rather walk in the Peak District or Snowdonia, as they are very easy to get to from north Staffordshire where I live.

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

My Message: I'm a 59 year old man who has enjoyed hillwalking for much of my adult life. I'd prefer to do this in good company, male and female, rather than on my own. I'm not a 'peak bagger' or record keeper/breaker, preferring to tarry occasionally to take in the beauty of what is around me.

If the areas I've checked are ones we share a common interest for walking in, it would be great to hear from you!

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

My Message: Hi - I am a very youthful, fit and active lady due to living up in the Clwydians! Looking for male (preferably) or female walking/climbing companions. Love Snowdonia. You will find me adventurous and with a good sense of humour. Up for anything but do not mind doing some low level walking as well. Would be o. k. as part of a small group as well but do not really like being in large groups as found in the ramblers. Anyway, they never stop to take in the view and discuss the meaning of life! Nice pub/café after walk or climb is the icing on the cake. Really looking forward to hearing from you all! First time on this site- should be a photo somewhere.

I have five dogs - so if you don't own a dog but enjoy walking you can always help me - this will help when I come across stiles with no alternative but to lift them over - four of them are not small dogs! I live in Somerset but am happy to go to other counties - my dogs love their 'limousine'.

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 Male Walker, in my late 60s, based near Kirkby Stephen.

My Message: Hi there

I live in South Cumbria and have walked the dales and lake district most of my life. I have just lost my walking buddy. So looking for someone new to walk with. I’m a fair weather walker. (Well I walk for the views) I think I can chat about most things but also listen and I do enjoy a good laugh but most of all enjoy some pub grub on returning from the hills. I’m recently retired so most days are OK for me.
So if you’re looking for company I look forward to hearing from you.

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

My Message: Hi
I am looking for new walking friends male or female. I have many years experience having trekked abroad and bagged many British hills. And lots of british national trails as well.But equally I am happy to walk 5 miles along the river so please don't let that put you off. I like to bring my dog along when possible but it's not essential. I drive and am able to travel a reasonable distance for a nice walk. I sometimes work unsociable hours but can be free most Sundays some Saturdays and odd weekdays. I'm not averse to a local evening walk either. I have basic climbing and scrambling skills - i can belay as well. But I can't read a map to save my life! - sorry ! But am willing to learn if you are very patient.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Ps if you haven't put a pic up of yourself I won't reply a girls gotta be careful you know!
No smokers please.

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 Female Walker, in my late 60s, based near Darlington.

My Message: Hi, my name is June. I would like to meet male or female walkers. I live in Darlington, don't drive, but very willing to share car expenses. With better weather on the horizon, it would be great to get out in it doing some decent walks!! I really enjoy walking.....nothing better than being out in the fresh air, walking along and having a good old natter....or maybe not!! I can do silent!!! If preferred. Then to end it with a coffee and cake or a glass of wine and something to eat at a pub, lovely. I'm free weekends, and weekdays shouldn't be a problem, as no work commitments. Look forward to hearing from you. June

I am a Female Walker, in my mid 30s, based near Castle Douglas.

My Message: When I first moved to the UK from Canada, one of the things that I looked forward to most was walking in places where I didn't have to worry about bears or overly-aggressive deer! Seven years on, I've managed to climb Snowdon, bag a couple of Munros (including Ben Nevis), and been on several mid-length walks from places as varied as Unst in Shetland to the North Downs Way, but that's about it.

I would describe myself as a woman who is young at heart with a good sense of humour. I enjoy comedy, theatre, films, reading and history. I'm in decent shape, have two adorable rescued rotties (they're exceptionally friendly with people - but unfortunately have not been well socialised with other dogs), and am happy to travel to meet up for walks - or pitch in for petrol - as needed. I'm good at reading maps, but my compass using skills definitely need some work.

As I work full-time, walking is limited to weekends and (Scottish) school holidays. If you're interested in meeting up for a walk, please get in touch. [Nb: I'm interested in walking pretty much anywhere, but figure it's good to start close to home when you're just meeting up for the first few times!]

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 late 30s, based near Denbigh.

My Message: Hello,

I want to meet new friends who like walking. I have been trying to convert a few of my current ones into enjoying the pastime, unfortunately, pushing them up hills and then getting them lost in fog seems to have put the most likely off.

I used to walk quite a lot when I was younger, mainly in the Peak District and North Wales. I have recently started again, hence the miserable friends. I have an ok level of fitness and like a bit of a challenge when it comes to my choice of walk.

Look forward to hearing from you,

Jo

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

My Message: Hi
My name is Claire and I'm looking to make new walking friends. My three teenage sons are less keen to walk with me these days and local friends are not really "walkers". I live on The Wirral and I try and walk most weekends. I don't mind travelling for a decent walk (5 miles +). I don't mind low level flat walks, or hills (preferably with the promise of a view) and am happy to do day walks in North Wales, The Peak District, Yorkshire Dales etc. My favourite place in the world is The Lakes ( I'm an exiled Cumbrian!), and have many Wainwrights under my belt. I would also be interested shorter evening walks locally. I work term time only, so I am available weekdays during school holidays. I can read a map, so I usually know roughly where I am and where I'm going!!!
I think there's nothing better than a day with my walking boots and rucksack on, in the great outdoors with the promise of a pub or tea shop at the end, if you feel that way too, please get in touch.

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

My Message: Hi
I'm Nigel (48) and I'm looking for walking companions - individuals or groups - for long or short day walks. I was lucky enough to grow up in North Wales because my parents moved up here just before I was born. And after long stints in London and elsewhere I moved back a few years ago, to a village near Llanberis. So my preferred locations are Snowdonia and the surrounding coastal regions, but I'm happy to visit other areas too - Lake District, Peak District, Brecons etc. For anyone who doesn't drive (or would rather not) I can pick you up and drop you off at railway stations/accommodation etc. Any grade including scrambling is fine for me and I'm happy to have lunch or finish the day in the cafe or pub; whatever suits. I work as a freelancer but I'm currently between contracts renovating my house. So although weekends are still best for me I can also get out during the week. Looking forward to hearing from you!
