Why Walkmates® Is Brilliant for Walkers

Joining a walk should feel welcoming, not awkward. With Walkmates®, you don’t just sign up for a date on a calendar — you become part of a living map of shared adventures. Here’s what makes being a walker on Walkmates so good:

1. Easy Discovery

No more trawling Facebook groups or WhatsApp chains. On Walkmates, you can:

• Search by hills, towns, or regions.
• See all upcoming walks near you.
• Filter by difficulty, distance, or type (from quickie strolls to upland hikes).

👉 You’ll always find something that fits your pace.

2. Clear Commitments

You know exactly what you’re signing up for:

• Route, distance, and meeting point are clear.
• Organiser notes explain what to expect.
• Check-in reminders keep everyone accountable.

No more showing up to “mystery hikes.”

3. Confidence on the Day

Walkmates makes the start of a walk less stressful:

• Check-in the day before so you know who’s coming.
• See the live list of confirmed walkers.
• Contact the organiser if you’re delayed or lost.

You’re never left standing alone in a car park wondering if anyone else will show.

4. On Your Own, But Not Alone

Whether you come solo or with friends, Walkmates helps you feel part of the group. You’re walking with people who genuinely want to be there. And if you fancy a solo adventure, Explorer Walks and Quickies are always ready when you are.

5. Lasting Connections

The walk doesn’t end when the boots come off:

• Share photos and comments afterwards.
• Stay in touch with organisers and fellow walkers.
• Build your walking history and track your progress.

It’s not just about miles — it’s about memories.

Final Word

As a walker, Walkmates makes things simple, social, and safe. You turn up knowing where you’re going, who’s joining, and how to keep in touch afterwards.

Walkmates takes the stress out of joining a walk so you can focus on what matters: fresh air, good company, and great trails.
