What an account gets you

Three things, and none of them cost anything.

Find walks near you

Routes across the UK with maps, photos and distances — hills, coast, countryside and city — so you know what you are walking into before you set off.

Meet other walkers

Join an organised group walk in one click, or message someone walking in your area and say hello before the day itself.

Organise your own

Pick a route, set a date and a meeting point, and let people come to you. Keep everyone updated if the weather or the parking changes.

Routes worth a Saturday

Nothing on the calendar this week. These are the routes people keep coming back to.

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!

Ways to browse

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.
