Dear New Member,

Welcome to the Dorset Group of the LDWA

As the country is emerging from lockdown our group has started going on social walks once again and you are very welcome to join us. Details of the walks, including some especially for new members, can be found at 

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

At the moment, due to restricted numbers, it is necessary for members to contact the walk leader in order to book a place on each walk but we are hoping that will change after 21 June. See individual walk details for more information. To comply with COVID rules please bring hand sanitiser and a face covering, in case it is needed.

Please also see below, in brackets, the email we used to send to new members, prior to the Covid 19 pandemic. I am including this so you can see the way our group used to operate and hopes to return to, as pandemic restrictions ease.  

[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. 

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 on the Dorset LDWA website: https://www.ldwa.org.uk/dorset ]

The group committee will also send emails with updates on walks, extra walks added at short notice and invitations to Dorset Group member-only events, when these become possible once more. 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
