Thumbs up Walking Companions wanted:-)

Hello, it's only me!

Not sure I'll get much response but what the heck!

I'm currently looking to meet new walking companions for week-day walks in and around Derbyshire and the Peak District.
Male/female, age not an issue....but an easy going personality and a love of nature/wildlife is a must! I'm not a route marcher and enjoy a few stops to absorb my surroundings, eat a packed lunch....and to take the odd photo along the way

I'm female, age 40 and I drive.

Please PM me if interested,

Thanks,
Tracey (sunnydale)

Hi Sunny, I`d love to be able to join you but I work & live a good few miles away I hope to discover more of the Derbyshire countryside at some stage it looks so inviting from your photos. Hope you get some response

I used to live in Derby and would have loved to join you but I live in Northants now..

Good luck hope you get someone soon, you could always get a dog for company.

Re: Walking Companions wanted:-)

Thanks for the comments guys

Maybe one day, I could arrange a 'walking weekend' in the Peaks and you can all come and join me at once!
Could be a lot of fun!

For now though, I just have to hope someone out there lives close enough to accompany me! I'll even throw in an ice-cream or a beer at the end of the walk!

Kayleigh, I don't rule out getting a dog....but that can't happen while my daughter lives at home. She's allergic to them

Re: Walking Companions wanted:-)

If I didn't live so far away I would have loved to accompany you on a walk I'm sure you will get lots of companions to walk with now.

Re: Walking Companions wanted:-)

Shame that I'm all the way down here in Dorset! I would love the chance to rediscover Derbyshire. I spent three years in Matlock in the mid '60s and have not really been back since. Not being very helpful are we?

Re: Walking Companions wanted:-)

I'm 77 miles away in Brum and I enjoy the Peaks. A walking Weekend, great! Let me know if you want someone to go WOW at outdoor wonders! Sitting with a sarnie and a cuppa sounds even better.
Normally always available

Re: Walking Companions wanted:-)

If you know of any decent campsites in or around Bakewell, I could pop down and do some walking in that area - mid-week. I would be open to any suggestions and maybe treat you to a Bakewell Tart and It will be September.

Re: Walking Companions wanted:-)

I know how you feel. I only ever usually go out on my own. Its quite relaxing but there comes a point when one gets lonely. Theres not a lot of WABbers in Lancashire. If there are then they are a bit far away for a bike ride

Sorry, Sunny. Looks the double Coast to Coast bike ride is back on track. Maybe next year.
