Welcome to the Essex/Herts LDWA website
| If you look in our calendar, you will see some of the events organized by our Group. Only members of the LDWA are automatically allowed to participate in our social walks but, by arrangement, we welcome visitors who are not members. As our name implies, we cover substantial distances on our walks and maintain a brisk pace across country using footpaths that may not be as well maintained as we would wish. Please e-mail Peter Hogg (peter.hogg@btinternet.com) if you wish to participate on any of our events or have any queries. You will be very welcome subject to the above restrictions.

Social Walks!! Please ensure you carry adequate food and drink to last the duration of the walk; even if a pub stop is scheduled it is no guarantee that food will be available on the day. In the event of adverse weather forecasts, particularly so in winter, please check with the organiser to ensure that the walk is to go ahead. Please also check this site before embarking for the venue in case there have been any last minute changes. You are reminded that only Registered Assistance Dogs are permitted on walks unless by prior agreement with the Walk Leader. See note 'Dogs on Walks' below.

The Silk River Project Walks is part of a year long celebration marking the 70th anniversary of Indian Independence and of the connection of the Silk Trade route between Kolkata and London in particular. A series of walks, in both India and London, will take place in September to mark the occasion. The London Group will host a series of walks in the UK, four of the which will be in Essex. Banners, 6 metres high, depicting various aspects of the trade will be carried on the walks. Those interested in further details of the project and of the walks can do so by clicking here and here |
| Cheques for Essex and Herts Events are to be made payable to LDWA Essex/Herts Group. |
| First Aid Kits First Aid kits are always present at checkpoints on Challenge Events, however participants are strongly advised to carry their own personal first aid kit on both social walks and challenge events to meet their immediate requirements until such time as appropriate medical assistance, if required, can be provided. |
Accident/Incident Reporting The LDWA has issued guidance on accident/incident reporting, available here. It is strongly recommended that Event Organisers and Walk Leaders have available/carry a form with them on their events/walks. |
