3) Advance Notice of a special walk.  What better way to celebrate Colin's 80th than by joining him on a walk details here

4)  A message from a Beckenham based member:  

For various reasons, I’m unable to walk long distances at the moment. I’ve tried some ‘normal’ LDWA distances over the summer, but I just don’t have the capacity. Currently I’m aiming for walks of a target distance of around 15 miles. Consequently, I’ve been doing a lot of solo walking. I’d also like to connect with any London members living south of the river - I live in Beckenham -  who might like to join me on these shorter distance days, because having some company makes walking more companionable, doesn’t it? I can be contacted either by email at russell.j.bateman@gmail.com or simply call or message me on 07714 243610.  Many  thanks,Russell
