Dear New Member,

Welcome to the Dorset Group of the LDWA.

We are a thriving local group with a comprehensive programme of led social walks, mostly in Dorset, and sometimes in the adjoining counties. We have on average 2 or 3 weekend walks each month, usually on Sundays, and some midweek walks too. There’s no need to book in advance for social walks, just arrive at the start in plenty of time.

In addition, we organise 2 challenge events each year, when walkers come from all over the country to complete a defined route in a set time. For these challenges, walkers navigate themselves around the route and call in at checkpoints for refreshments etc. Places on challenge events must be booked in advance.

We also organise occasional social events and residential trips away, just for Dorset Group members.

You can find out about most of our events in the magazine ‘Strider’ and on the Dorset LDWA website: https://www.ldwa.org.uk/dorset  We will also send you 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 or at an event soon.

Best Wishes,

Pat Clifton,

Dorset LDWA Group Secretary
