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

My Message: Hi there,
I'm looking for female companions to keep me company while i'm out and about on my wanderings. Quite shy initially but fine once I get going. I love all kinds of walks from difficult to very easy and perhaps followed by a spot of food and a glass of something refreshing. Usually try and stick to the Brecon beacons and Black mountains, but also open to perhaps camping or even a BandB if I travel away. I also love a bit of landscape photography so sometimes take my camera along for the day..
Get in touch if you're up for a stroll some time :)

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

My Message: Hi
I have been getting lazy of late and only been walking the rolling downs of Hampshire, I recently went up Pen Y Fan and my body reminded me of muscles I had forgotten about. I would love to get back into walking more challenging walks. I used to spend a lot of time in the peak district arround Edale and would love to re aquaint myself with that area again, but am willing to go anywhere there is a descent ascent. Sharing the travel costs would be a great advantage.
I am a 52 year old male and would love to hear from anyone who is patient enough to walk with me whilst I get my leg muscles working again or people who are in a similar position to myself.

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

My Message: Hi, I am hoping to find walking friends to explore the great outdoors with. I havent done a lot of walking recently but am fairly fit. I played county standard netball all my life up to about three years ago. I've done a few 5k and 10k runs etc in the past. I am based in Hull but drive, so travelling a bit is not a problem. I am an easy going person with a lot of interests. I enjoy serious debates and light hearted chats. I love wildlife spotting particularly but enjoy anywhere scenic really. I have family in South Wales and am down that way every few weeks. Anyway, look forward to hearing from you.

I am a walker and a runner and like to do moderate walks, sometimes leisurely.

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

My Message: Hi! I love the outdoors so much. Try to walk most weekends in all weathers. I will travel to derbyshire, midlands, shropshire and anywhere in driveing distance. Do enjoy going further if time allows.
Love to just go out and enjoy the day, haveing laughs along the way. Still after many years have a tendancy to get lost but feel that it is a learning process and eventually make it back to the car :-)
I have gradually mastered the compass but still needs lots of practice.
Look forward to those great days out with someone who finds the beauty of the countryside breathtakeing.
Thank you for showing an interest, and enjoy your walking!!!! :-)
Oh forgot i do love cycling too if you fancy that but not too steep. lol !!!! :-)

My Message: Hello! I live near Ashbourne, have not done a great deal of walking recently, more cycling/ gym to keep fit, but would love to get back to walking again and am looking for female company to walk with. I have walked quite a lot in Lakes in the past, also Peak District, although I don't enjoy walking on my own. I would love 1, 2 or 3 others to walk with, happy to have dogs along too, also I am happy to plan/ navigate walks. I work in the week, so would prefer to walk on a Saturday, possibly some Sundays, but I prefer to spend time with hubby on a Sunday usually. Outside of walking I enjoy gardening and sewing, and have one child at uni, one in 6th form.

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

My Message: Having recently retired from the Armed Forces I'm keen to find new friends who are interested in the more 'extreme' and 'difficult' hikes throughout the UK. Obviously being a bloke I'd enjoy the company of a fit and experienced female, but actually would prefer anyone who enjoys the wild outdoors and being way off the beaten track. I prefer extended hikes and spending time under the stars. I have all the requisite gear, GPS tech tent, maps, rations, EPIRB, etc etc. I also have over twenty years military experience so I'm used to 'roughing it'.

Hope to hear from someone soon.

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

My Message: Hi, I am Sarah and I would like to find a walking companion. I am easy going, I love the countryside and all the wonderful things it has to offer and want to get out there to enjoy it. Although I am reasonably fit, I have not done much walking to date so I would like to do some shorter local walks to start off with to toughen up my feet and then extend the distance and the areas walked over time. Perhaps evening walks would be a possibility while the lighter evenings are here (although daytime walks are also fine). I like to appreciate the scenery and beauty around me when walking and would like to share this with a like minded person. I am always happy to round the walk off with a visit to local pub or tea shop.

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

My Message: Hi, I am Graeme, a 44 year old male from Windermere, looking for female walking partners of similar age, and a love of walking the Lake District fells as well as other areas. I am young at heart, resonably fit (like to think so anyway), and also enjoy running and open water swimming. Over recent years I have completed the C2C and the West Highland Way, nothing I like better than walking all day then setting up camp and relaxing with food & beer and beautiful scenery, would be nice to have someone to share it with, as my friends seem to prefer spending time in the pub. I am interested to hear from anyone of any ability, who would like to do some walking in the Lakes but I am also willing to travel to other areas. I am Interested in day walks, short walks, or long distance walks. I will be more than happy to show anyone around my part of the world should they wish to visit.

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

My Message: I have lived in the UK for 7 years and have come to know the Cornish walking trails very well with a few forays to Dartmoor and the South Devon coast. I would like to expand this and am very keen to explore further afield, both in the UK and Europe. I am a doctor with a rather busy job, but can take time off to travel and intend to do more of this. My rather angelic Border Collie usually accompanies me with great enthusiasm and generally gets on with everyone he meets. I am hoping to meet walkers from all areas, I would be interested in joining group walks or others who walk singly. I previously lived in Cape Town, and climbed Table mountain and the mountains of the Western Cape extensively, thus I have a pretty good degree of fitness and can manage long distances and inclines, I do not climb with equipment or up rock faces but up to almost anything else.

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

My Message: My walking boots are 10 years old and as good as new! What this should tell you is that I have walking ambitions that I have never actually put into practice. I'm a 65-year old female and self-employed, so still working more or less full-time, and free mainly at weekends. I would like to find a patient person/group of similar age in the Warrington or nearby area, who would be happy to go at my pace initially, with a view to going faster, further in the near future.

I'm perfectly healthy, and have done physical exercise in the past, so there's no reason (other than a recent history of total sloth) why I shouldn't become an energetic and competent walker in a short space of time.

I am a Walker, in my early 70s, based near Palmers Green.

My Message: Hello I am a weekend rambler (10 to 12 miles usually) and occasional long distance trail walker. I'm interested in exploring new areas as well as the Home Counties where I sometimes lead walks for a club. I am quite fit for my age and trying to remain so. I live in a North London suburb with my daughter. I worked until recently; now semi-retired, I have more time for walking and would like to have a companion on some of the reconnaissance walks I do. Several of my long-established friends have moved away, hence this appeal. Two drawbacks to note: (a) I don't drive and (b) I'm active in Labour and Co-operative politics (though I don't go on about it). I've recently taken up urban as well as country walking, linking with architectural interests. I do voluntary work as trustee of a countryside conservation organisation and an historic house trust in addition to some neighbourhood commitments in north London.
