Welcome to the Dorset 4050 group. Despite our group name, we really don’t mind what age you are! If you like walking with a friendly, relaxed, easy going group of people who occasionally socialise, you are most welcome to join us.  

We walk just about every weekend, primarily on a Sunday anywhere in the Dorset area. Also, we arrange a number of walking weekends throughout the year away from Dorset.   

Our aim is to provide a wide range of walks, at various paces and grades to cater for most if not all levels of walkers. We encourage people to give our group a try to see if the group is for them before making any commitment to us or the Ramblers.
