Chairman's Challenge July 1st - 31st 2020
Fri 31st Jul 2020
Walk Details:
Even though the restrictions on exercise are being eased across the UK, the May Challenge was attractive to many LDWA members who for one reason or another could not manage long distances. However, the challenge of walking just over 3 miles a day, each day in the month, was not only achievable, but also gave many a focus. The challenge is open to EVERYONE, regardless of how little or how far they can walk - the only request we make is that people should only record the distance they cover in any one hour of daily activity.
Quite apart from the exercise itself, the associated Facebook page for those on social media, was hugely successful in creating a friendly and supportive community for sharing photographs and experiences, especially at a time when group walks were suspended. It is, though, quite possible to participate without using Facebook as the spreadsheet is held on the member pages of the LDWA website.
The May challenge was also attractive to our international members, a number of whom walked their 100 miles in some very exotic surroundings. The July Challenge would give our members abroad a chance to walk a real LDP in the UK without the cost and effort of travelling to the UK!
