Other Publications

Guidelines for Events provides helpful guidance on all aspects of organising a challenge walk and has been widely acclaimed both by organisers within the LDWA and by many outside bodies who find it a very helpful reference for charity walks. The range of topics covered by the Guidelines includes planning the route, writing the route description, running walk HQ and checkpoints, and clearing up afterwards.
