The LDWA NEC COVID-19 sub-committee has reviewed the latest Government guidance relating to Scotland and England (issued on 28th May) and to Wales (issued on 29th May).
The NEC reviewed the position that now allows 6 people in England to meet, but due to the need to still maintain safety in relation to social distancing and in the interest of fairness to all members who might wish to attend a group social walk, the NEC has concluded that LDWA social walks in England cannot commence at this time.
Please be reassured that the NEC is considering how to mitigate the associated risks and is considering when social walks and challenge events might be allowed to resume. These are difficult times for all involved in the LDWA and the NEC is acutely aware of the distress that a loss of LDWA activities is causing for many of our members. We are grateful for your continued patience.
