Filter by interest, so walking finds walking and riding finds riding.
Dating for people who'd rather be outside
A good date is twelve miles and a flask, and you shouldn't have to apologise for that.
See who’s near youIs there a dating site for outdoorsy people?
Yes. Grounded is built for people whose weekends happen outdoors.
Walkers, hikers, riders, climbers, wild swimmers, growers, dog people. If your idea of a good Sunday involves boots and a forecast check, you're the audience.
It matters more than it sounds. Being outdoorsy isn't a hobby you fit around a relationship, it's most of your free time. Meeting someone who treats it the same way removes a friction you'd otherwise be negotiating for years.
First dates that suit you
A walk beats a bar for most people here, and nobody thinks that's odd.
Across the UK and Ireland
Trails, hills, coast and country. Set your distance and see who's within it.
Match on the thing you actually do
Walking finds walking. Riding finds riding. You can filter by interest rather than hoping it comes up three messages in, and advanced filters come with VIP.
It saves the conversation nobody enjoys, where you slowly work out that one of you meant a stroll and the other meant fourteen miles in the rain.

Common questions
The things people ask first
What outdoor interests can I match on?
Walking and hiking, horses and riding, gardening and growing, dogs, cycling, wild swimming, fishing, shooting and general country life. You can filter search by interest, and advanced filters come with VIP.
Does it cost anything to start?
No. Profile, browsing and daily matches cost nothing. Free accounts have a daily message limit, which VIP removes.
Do I need to be seriously fit?
Not at all. Members range from people who walk the dog every day to people who spend weekends on the hills. What you share is preferring outside to inside.
Can I suggest a walk as a first date?
Most people here would prefer it. It's public, it's low pressure, and you find out quickly whether you enjoy each other's company. The platform includes safe dating guidance for meeting someone new.
