The Dorset Young Walkers are a group of walkers, aged in our 20's, 30's and 40's, who enjoy exploring the wealth of beautiful countryside walks available on our doorsteps. If you're interested in joining us, we'd love to hear from you. Please get in touch with us or it's ok to just turn up to one of the listed walks! We also do social events and other outdoor activities, but it's best to meet up with us on a walk first. We are a group of the Ramblers Association (RA). The group was formed in March 2003 and currently has many active members.

 You don't have to be a member of the Ramblers Association to come along on a few of our walks, but you will be expected to join if you walk with us frequently or if you wish to take part in other activities such as weekends away. To join our group you need to join the Rambler's Association, click here to find out how.

DYW member Will Bligh has recently launched a new Facebook group to promote the Dorset Young Walkers. If you have a profile on Facebook, you can ask to join the group (even if not a member of DYW) and stay connected with friends, keep up to date with events and ideas, and post photos and video! The Facebook group is a useful way of asking for lifts or car sharing, but will not replace the DYW email as the primary means of contact with the group.

Feel free to join in the fun!

We have justed launched a new poster campaign to promote the group across the Dorset area! The poster was created by Andy Skraga and high quality prints will be going up in leisure centres, libraries, outdoor stores and other public places. Please click here to see the poster in PDF format..
