Dear New Member,

Welcome to the Dorset Group of the LDWA!

First of all I must apologise to those of you for whom this email being rather late, I hope you have managed to find the information you need and come on some walks all the same.

Following disruption over the last 2 years, due to Covid lockdowns, our group's program of social walks has recovered well and you are very welcome to join us. Details of the walks can be found at: 

https://www.ldwa.org.uk/Dorset/E/0/future-events.html

Some walk leaders ask members to contact them prior to the walk if they wish to go, but most are happy for members to just turn up on the day. See individual walk details for more information. We advise members to bring hand sanitiser and a face covering, in case they are needed.

Prior to the pandemic, in addition to the social walks, our group organised two challenge events each year. We, like many other LDWA groups, are now beginning to plan these once more. Participants come from all over the country to navigate themselves around a set route and call in at checkpoints for refreshments etc. Places on challenge events must be booked in advance via the SiEntries website and there is a charge to enter. Our first challenge event, following the pandemic, will be 'The Dorset Doddle' on 21st August this year.

We also organise occasional social events and residential trips away, just for Dorset Group members. You can find out about most of our events on the Dorset LDWA website:

The group committee will also send out emails with updates on walks, extra walks added at short notice and invitations to Dorset Group member-only events. If you would prefer not to receive these emails, and to have only the minimum communication required by our constitution, please let me know.

We hope to see you on a walk soon!

Best Wishes,

Pat Clifton,

Dorset LDWA Group Secretary
