LDWA Insurance

Members, guests, walk leaders and walkers are advised of the following pointers provided by the LDWA’s insurers:-

1. Any group walks/activities published in Strider or shown on the Website are covered by the LDWA insurance.

2. A guest is covered if their names are recorded at the start, which walk leaders should do.  However, after three walks, they will only be covered if they join LDWA.

3. Dogs that come on walks are not covered by the LDWA insurance, nor are any incidents they are involved in, so they are the owners responsibility on a walk.  If a dog trips someone, LDWA insurance does not provide cover and the owner would be considered responsible/liable.

4. Any incident or accident during a walk should be mentioned to the leader who will notify the Group Secretary, who notes it in an accident book and informs the insurer.

5. Generally any young people aged under 18 should be accompanied by a responsible adult.  We should be supportive and positively encouraging of them at all times and avoid comments like “we all get sore feet so get off your butt and walk the last 10 miles” which could be considered abusive.
