The LDWA will compile and maintain a Register of those walkers who have completed a substantial number of the National Trails in Britain. As the challenge to walk all of the National Trails is a very considerable one that relatively few people will achieve, there will be four levels of the Register: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond, each level representing more National Trails completed than the previous level. Thus it is hoped that walkers will be inspired at first to get their name onto the Register, by walking a minimum of five different National Trails (minimum walking mileage of 384 miles).
LDWA 2020
Walk just five of the National Trails (NTs) in England, Wales or Scotland to gain entry into the Register at Bronze level. Your name and trail walking achievements will then be entered on the Online Register which is maintained on the LDWA website, and you may claim a high quality commemorative certificate to keep as an attractive memento of your walks. Keep adding to the list of National Trails walked until you complete five more trails, when you will advance to Silver level status, and be eligible for a Silver NT certificate. When you have walked 15 different National Trails in their entirety, you will have reached Gold level in the Register, and if you eventually complete all 19 of the NTs in Britain, then you will join a very distinguished and exclusive group of long distance walkers, those holding the LDWA National Trail Diamond award. Each level of achievement can be commemorated by a distinctive certificate, each one depicting a different National Trail. Acquire just one of these certificates, or better, walk on to collect eventually the complete set of four certificates. There is no time limit whatsoever for walking these trails and claims may be made retrospectively.
