What is Walkmates?
Walkmates is a UK social walking platform: a place to find good walks, and to find the people to walk them with. It's free to join.
Get outside. Walk together.
A good walk is better shared. Walkmates exists to make that easy — to get more people out of the door, onto a path, and into the company of walkers who enjoy the same thing. Whether that's a gentle riverside loop after work or a long day on the hill, there's a walk here for you and someone glad you came along.
What you can do on Walkmates
Everything you need to plan a walk, join one, or bring people along on yours.
Discover walk routes
Browse routes across the UK with maps and photos, so you know what you're walking into before you set off.
Join or organise walks
Organised walks anyone can join. Find one that fits your diary — or pick a route, set a date, and let people come to you.
Meet other walkers
Walker profiles and messaging make it easy to find people walking near you and say hello before the day itself.
Find a walking group
Walking groups all over the country, each with their own page and the walks they have coming up. Browse groups.
Tick off the hills
Munros, Wainwrights and the rest — the classic hill lists, with the walks that take you up them.
Leave a Ghost
Ghosts are augmented-reality messages left out on the trail, waiting for the next walker who passes that way to find them.
Take Walkmates with you
The Walkmates app puts the whole thing in your pocket — routes and maps while you're out, your walks and messages wherever you are, and Ghosts to find along the way. It's on iOS and Android, and it's free.
Who's behind it
Walkmates is operated by Ninvoice Limited. If you've got a question, an idea, or something that isn't working the way it should, we'd genuinely like to hear it.
