Future Walks
Dear Members
We have been testing out local walks and want to start offering some local walks for up to six people whilst keeping social distancing. The walks will be of either 5-6 miles or 7-10 miles. We will be following Government Guidance regarding stopping the spread of https://www.gov.uk/guidance/meeting-people-from-outside-your-household-from-4-july>
To attend a walk you will need to have accepted an invite and you will need to be able to get to the start of the walk. It is advised that you bring hand sanitiser as walks may include the need to touch gates or climb over styles. Face coverings will be needed if you want to enter a refreshment establishment at some point during a walk.
If you would like to start getting personal invitations to walks please email committee@dunstablebogtrotters.co.uk and let us know what length of walk you would like invites to and whether you are available weekdays and/or weekends. This will help us when allocating invitations. The number of invitations we can send out is dependant on the number of walk leaders available.
When you are sent an invitation please let us know as soon as possible whether you can come or not. If you have a place confirmed on a walk but then find you have symptoms of COVID-19 or need to socially isolate you must not put others at risk and will have to cancel your place. We will be able to repeat popular walks so no one who is safe to walk need miss out.
Happy waking and keep safe

Suspension of all Dunstable & District Walking & Hostelling Group Face to Face Activities.
Dear Members
In light of the need for social distancing to protect ourselves, our families and our community, all face to face Dunstable & District Walking & Hostelling Group Activities are suspended form Tuesday 17 March 2020 until further notice. It is a great disappointment that we are not able to walk together as a group for a while but this is necessary to protect ourselves and others and to comply with Government Advice.
This suspension includes all face to face activities; including all walks, trips, meetings and social activities.
At the moment it is impossible to say how long the suspension will last as we need to be guided by Government Advice. Once given the all clear – it may take a little time to re-organise the programme and at such time we will start to give you regular updates.
Keep safe
