About us

Welcome to the Dorset 4050 Walkers group. Despite our group name, we really don’t mind what age you are! If you like walking with a welcoming, relaxed, easy going group of people who occasionally socialise, why not give us a try - we encourage people to join us on a walk to see if the group is for them before making any commitment to us or the Ramblers. 

Our walks

Our aim is to provide a wide range of walks, at various grades and ranging between 8 and 15 miles in length. Typically, we'll walk at a moderate, sometimes brisk pace. We walk just about every weekend, usually on a Sunday and usually (but not always!) somewhere in Dorset.  We also arrange a number of walking weekends throughout the year away from Dorset.   

Events

Dates for the Porlock Walking Experience 2025 are Thursday 26th to Sunday 29th June.  In a change from previous years, this will not coincide with the WeirFest - a chance to visit and enjoy the famous Porlock Weir without the music and plastic beer mugs! As before, there'll be four walks, kicking off on the Thursday. Keep a check in on this space for more information in the autumn.
