BWF MEDIUM DISTANCE WALKS
Recognised Medium Distance Walks between distances of 30 to 99km in Great Britain are eligible for IVV Awards. As these walking trails are becoming more popular and extensive, the BWF will now credit a walker with IVV Distance and Event stamps
Medium Distance Walks Registered since 1st May 2018 and updated to October 2024 can be found in the MDW_Web_List
REGISTRATION
To register for a Medium Distance Walk you need to complete a NT LDW MDW Registration Form and submit it together with the registration fee of £2.00 to the BWF MDW/LDW/NT Officer.
On registration, you will be issued with a Report Book which you should complete on a daily basis. Each day you should record the date, distance walked, weather and collect a dated till receipt, shop/hotel stamp etc. The information collected acts as a check that the walk has actually been completed. If you need more pages these can be downloaded.
Please Note: 1st January 2024 NEW contact for Distance Trails - new registration form has been added above
COMPLETION
On completion of the Walk or part of a Walk you should send your report book together with the validation fee of £3.00 to the BWF MDW/LDW/NT Officer. She will issue the appropriate IVV credit for the distance completed and event stamps as per the new IVV guidelines of 1 event stamp for each 20 kilometres completed. Those who complete the full Walk will receive a colour certificate of achievement. Those who only walk part of a trail will receive IVV credit as detailed above but will not receive a certificate.
There is a special Challenge, which is to complete 100 different BWF registered Permanent Trails, National Trails, Medium Distance Walks and Long Distance Walks. For more information go to PT100 Challenge.
