Covid Update - 14/05/21
DVWG have discussed the government’s announcement on May 10th and decided on a revised walk format for future walks from May 17th.
Following relaxation of rules regarding outdoor meetings allowing 30 people to meet outdoors we have decided that we will approach this change cautiously and allow slightly larger groups on our walks.
The new format will be two distanced groups consisting of a group leader and ten participants. A total walk size of 22 people.
We hope everyone is happy with this change which is intended to allow larger groups whilst still preventing transmission of COVID-19.
A polite reminder from DVWG - 28/04/21
Booking on our walks remains limited to a total of three socially distanced groups of six people at this time until restrictions are lifted in a less ambiguous manners and DVWGs management committee are convinced that the safety of everyone coming along to our walks can be maintained.
This inevitably means that often walks fill up quickly and some people can sadly be disappointed when they are not allocated a place.
With this in mind we wish to politely remind everyone that a booking is only secure once the £1 booking donation to DVWG is paid via PayPal or other electronic means for people who do not have a PayPal account. This keeps the booking process fair for everyone.
Going forwards in the event of walks becoming full, place preference will be given to fully completed and paid up bookings.
FUTURE WALK ANNOUNCEMENTS - 09/04/21
Until we are able to confidently plan and publish walks in advance again all our walks will be announced initially on our Facebook page (click here) and via text message. Due to a limited amount of places on each walk places must be booked in advance. Should you wish to be notified of future walks via text message then please send an email to dvwg@mail.com
WE ARE BACK! - 03/04/21
Following the Goverment allowing outdoor recreational sport to resume from 29th March we are delighted to reveal that we are now able to restart walks in a Covid-compliant manner, initially in small groups of 6. The number of groups available for each walk will depend upon the number of walk leaders available.
At the moment we are still not publishing a full diary but walks will be advertised on our Facebook and via our test message service with details of how to book which is on a first come, first served basis.
Our first walk back is on Wednesday 7th April, our 4.5 miles Barnburgh, Harlington and TPT Walk. However, the walk was fully booked in less than an hour after revealing the details on Saturday morning!

COVID-19 STATEMENT - 04/01/21
As expected the Prime Minister has placed England into a national lockdown due to Covid-19.
This unfortunately means that DVWG are as of this evening suspending all activities until restrictions are lifted.
We urge everyone to follow the government guidance to reduce the spread of this awful virus.
Please stay safe and we hope to see you all walking with DVWG once restrictions are lifted.
