I'm looking for someone to walk with Thursday afternoons/early Friday mornings/Friday afternoons and possibly Sunday afternoons. Would like to go rain, hail or shine... so only a really good excuse will do. Am based Hamilton North but anything considered. Starting with around 5km walks with a plan to do half marathon later in the year. Would love to hear from you... am so bored walking on my own

Hey there walking Buddy in Hamilton
Lol I may be a bit late.... but I thought I would reply , I have just moved into Hamilton recently and live in Ham East, I too am looking for a walking buddy as I previously had one for many years.
Your "rain, hail or shine' is my type of mantra !
I did the 10kms walk in Flagstaff so am hoping to do a half next year(21 km)
would love to hear from you
Cheers

Hi there to both kubota and sunnymum,
I'm Maria and I live in Pukete. I'm new to this forum and can't believe my luck in finding this website! I have been trying to get fitter - not to lose weight but to feel better about me and to appreciate life more - we are so blessed in NZ!
I recently celebrated my 50th by walking 19.4 km across Tongariro and got such a buzz (as well as sore muscles) but want to continue walking - rain or shine.
I work however, so need a buddy for weekends - my hubby is a TV fan. I have a little dog and would love to take him but not sure what treks/walks I can do.
Please respond if either of you are looking for a buddy still. Thanks, M :-)

Hi Maria,
Good on you doing the Tongaririo crosssing I did it March 2011. LOVED it too ( I put it on my 'to do' list when i turned 40 !)
I have a little dog also, and like to do a couple of laps around the lake, or some of the 'bridge to bridge' walks .Like you I work so weekends are best for the longer walks,If you are keen give me a text and we can catch up.
here is my cell phone so you can text if you like 0277139812
Cheers
Meg
Hi guys I am also in Ham east, I walk every day mostly mornings, I have two dogs that have me out rain hail or frost! I have increased my walks to nearly 9km some days. Some days the little dogs legs just aren't up for too far. I have a mini jack russel and a bull terrier cross. Would like to have some company also. I was walking in the afternoons in daylight savings.
We are enjoying the riverside walk from Riverlea rd to the the gardens, got some beauty climbs.

Hi there. Female, looking for someone(s) to walk with regularly for fitness. I live around northern end of Victoria Street, so great access to river walks, lake or simply doing the streets. Available weekdays and weekends. Anyone interested out there??
