Use the 'Events' tab in the #walk1000miles Facebook group (pictured below) or one of the subgroups to browse walks arranged by other group members or start your own (the terms 'walks' and 'events' are interchangeable in this context). They can be big or small – you and a crowd or you and a new potential chum – and you make your own arrangements in a discussion attached to the event you're planning to join or that you're creating. It's easy, and people who do meet up with other 1000-milers often say it's a highlight of their whole experience of the challenge.

“We’ve had a couple of meets with other 1000 milers celebrating achievements together we’ve become firm friends. ”
“I’ve been walking the Pennine Way in stages, and this year I asked if anyone from the 1000 mile group fancied joining me for a day. Jo Winship stepped into the breach and we walked from Hawes over Great Shunner Fell to Thwaite. As soon as we met we felt like old friends and had a brilliant day’s walk together.”
“The best thing about meeting up is getting to know the friendly people that make up this brilliant ‘family’ of walkers.”
