Walking's better with company
We're a small, growing community — most routes here were walked and written up by real members.
With the aim of making new like-minded friends I signed up to Walkmates a few months ago. I liked the idea of connecting with individual walkers like me in my local area and getting to know them a little first via messaging on the app rather than meeting a big group of complete strangers for a long walk which I can find a little overwhelming. I found it very easy to join my first walk, I met up with two other members of Walkmates for a lovely walk including a stop for coffee. I was a little anxious at first but there was no need I thoroughly enjoyed chatting to my new friends whilst walking, taking in the surroundings and couldn't wait to do it all again!

Out there
The Walkmates app puts the whole thing in your pocket — routes and maps while you're out, your walks and messages wherever you are. It's on iOS and Android, and it's free.
It also brings Ghosts: augmented-reality messages left out on the trail, waiting for the next walker who passes that way to find them.
