A Challenge Walk is an organised walking event (not a race) with a set route and checkpoints on the way round. They are usually at least 25 miles but some offer shorter versions too. Most Challenge Walks have route descriptions to help you find your way. You will find regular checkpoints normally every 5 to 10 miles where you will be given refreshments and a chance to rest if you need it. You will be charged to enter.
If you drop out, the organisers will arrange for you to get back to the finish.
The LDWA National site has a list of Challenge Walks
The Group usually organises two Challenge walks a year. The two walks in 2011 were the Giant's Daughter and the Dorset Doddle - see below
For 2012 the events will be a new event - the Cerne Giant 30 - and the Dorset Doddle.
This is a new 30 mile route starting and finishing from Cerne Abbas, covering an area betweeen Sydling St Nicholas to the East and Melcombe Bingham to the West. Put it in your diaries.
Entries will open on December 1st.
A perennial favourite.
