leave the area enclosed by the route. A map is available at

 http://www.london2012.com/documents/venue-documents/cycling-road-race-route.pdf

convivial at some point during the day.

Sun 9th Dec  Jerome Ripp

Challenge Walks Full programme on National Site. We encourage all members to have a go at a challenge walk, if they haven't already. These are good fun and not necessarily competitive. You do need to be able to read a map and compass though. There are several local challenge walks that have become something of an institution for London Group members. These are run by adjacent groups and are worthy of our support. Consequently we normally don't schedule a social walk to clash with any of these. Details of all these walks can be found in Strider or the Future Events section of the national website.

Leaders Please email any late changes and updated train information at least one week before the walk to the Walks Secretary and they will be posted onto the LDWA website.

Walkers If you diary an event in advance please check programme changes.
The site will be updated if walk leaders provide the information to the walks secretary in good time but this is no guarantee. Be sure to check for schedule changes and engineering works with National Rail or National Rail Enquiries Tel 08457 48 49 50

As there has been a spate of engineering works recently with significant alterations and delays to trains, please be sure to check for schedule changes and engineering works beforehand.
