Welcome to the home page of Wessex LDWA. The Long Distance Walkers Association welcomes all those interested in walking for

pleasure and fitness to our web site. The Wessex group walks cover footpaths over all terrains over a large area of Southern England

mainly centred on Hampshire but regularly include areas of adjoining counties. Our popular social walks are held twice monthly (usually

the 1st and 3rd Sundays), are between 15 and 25 miles, and almost always include a pub stop of approx. 1 hour for lunch. Click the

'Future Events' link above to see details of our current walk programme.

 

In Summer, we supplement our main walk programme with a Friday evening walk programme running from early May to mid/late August.

Walks are usually of 4 - 6 miles and held twice a month. These are more relaxed in nature and provide an opportunity for new members

to meet others in our group on walks at a slower pace. Click the 'Group Activities' link above for details.

 

In addition to our varied social walk programmes, the group organizes or helps to organize challenge walks:

*     New Forest Marathon - Sunday 11th March 2012.  Completed.

      2013 event planned for 3rd March. See 'Future Events'. Additional

      details will be available as a separate web page later this year.
