Walking Companions and Charity Walks
Looking for a walking companion or someone to join your Charity Walk?
Although some people are quite content to walk the mountains alone, others prefer to have company. Let's face it - it's always helpful to have some encouragement, especially when you get to the point when you otherwise might feel like turning back!
So I thought I'd put up a page whereby people who like to find a companion for a particular walk can post their details and hopefully get a response.
If you've a sponsored walk coming up please feel free to send me the details to advertise here too.
About ten years past I walked up Ben Nevis. Unfortunately we chose the rocky path up and back. In hindsight we should have taken the other route around the side of the mountain. I am told it is a bit more dangerous, however, more user friendly underfoot. A couple of years later I hiked Snowdon in Wales. much more enjoyable to say the least. Both adventures were done between the ages of 65 and 70. I wish to complete the trinity by doing Scafell Pike in May of 2012. At this time (god willing) I will be 78 years young, in excellent condition, both physically and mentally. I am a Canadian/British citizen living in Northern Ontario. It is my hope that i could meet a person (with patience) that would accompany me on this project. I am not a speed merchant, but a cautious hiker. Be assured I will be successful, at my own pace!

How to advertise for a companion:
1. Email me your contact details, when and where you wish to walk, and a bit about the person you are, and the sort of person you are looking for.
2. I'll post the details here with the exception of your contact details.
3. If anyone replies I will forward the email on.
4. Whether you take up the offer is up to you, and it's up to you to check whether anyone contacting you is going to be suitable.
5. Once you've found your companion, or have decided not to proceed please let me know so I can take your details off the site.
