Code of practice
Governing body
The Ramblers’ Association has 123,401 members
(1998), and the Long Distance Walkers Association had 5,496
members in 1990. However, the actual figures for the number
of people participating in some form of walking or hiking are
much higher. The UK government’s Living in Britain document
(1998) suggests 68% of the population undertakes at least one
leisure walk of 2 miles or more per year
