General Information:

Challenge Events

Challenge Events

A Challenge event is a longer, organised, walk mostly on footpaths and other Public Rights of Way, across open fields and moors, avoiding tarmac as much as possible. The challenge is to the individual, e.g. 30 miles in 10 hours, it is NOT a race.

Social Walks

Social Walks

There are currently 42 local groups and being a member of one of these is great fun! Indeed, without them the LDWA would not exist. Local groups host regular group walks led by one of their members and some also organise social events and longer trips.

Long Distance Paths

Long Distance Paths

Want to find out about a long distance path? This website includes a searchable database of over 1,500 UK paths and trails covering more than 88,000 miles. Path information includes maps, publications, and accommodation near the path.

100 Mile Challenge

Annual 100 Mile Challenge

The annual 100 mile event is the LDWA's flagship event. Held every year in a different part of the country, to coincide with the late May Bank Holiday, up to 500 people gather to walk 100 miles in 48 hours.
