Although it is not necessary to "book in" for walks, it would be helpful to let the leader know that you intend joining the walk (or can no longer make it if you have booked on), as not doing so may mean that the group leaves without you or is waiting for you to arrive. If you know your LDWA membership number, please also let the walk leader know.
