Good news is that from 19^th July LDWA walks ceased to be subject to any COVID rules restricting numbers attending, and will not require the additional admin of Risk Assessments.

This means that we should be able to return to a full program of walks in line with that operated in the past, when a minimum of 3 walks per month were offered. The preference is for 2 longer walks on the 1^st & 3^rd Sundays and a slightly shorter one, possibly with pub lunch, on the 3^rd Thursday. Obviously additional offers would also be welcome.

Some walks with optional short versions would be appreciated, for the benefit of members whose range is currently limited.

Details of existing walks can be found on the Wiltshire LDWA website Future Events page, where it can be seen that there are a number of gaps versus the preferred schedule over the next three months, so volunteers over this period would be particularly welcome. The dates currently unfilled for the next 6 months are summarised below. For walks scheduled from 19^th September onwards the name of the leader will suffice at this stage, with details to follow.
