Sandy, I can only comment on the area. Last January my friend and I walked the St. Petersburg YRE. She is fairly new to volkssporting and loved the trail....

Joan Lampart has a couple of items on the national meeting agenda for next weekend, and one of them is actually worth passing. I'll admit to having a different...
Mike, before you discount everyone elsešs reasons as invalid, look a little harder at the situation. The AVA's insurance carrier requires that each...

This is gonna be a long one. My apologies, but there aren't any short answers in this deal. I don't claim to be an expert on sports insurance, but I've asked ...
...What's surprising is that none of the present officers are weighing in yet, and those are the individuals who should be answering and who should have their...
Excellent points, Mike. Now you're talking the right approach. (When you simply made assertions, without offering details, in your first email, it gave the...

My view of this is: how do millions of trail guide books and walking tour books each year get published without being sued out of existence? Publishing...
Good points. Here are a few more based on my observation of NEC meetings over a couple decades. (I agree that there is not enough preparation, either providing...

I just signed up for the walks in Victoria, BC, and they, too, had me click on a box to accept the registration terms. The practice of having a check box to...

Yes, this is the issues list but I am pretty certain that all levels of experience within volksmarching are welcome on the list. I have seen no "time in...

It would sometimes be convenient, especially when one is traveling, to be able to start a walk at an early hour. Sometimes the start point will not open until...
I have been busy so forgive me for not chiming in sooner. My position is that we should do anything possible to make our sport more accessible. Many folks look...
... Sure sounds like a virtual volksmarch to me. You can do it all from the comfort of your computer desk. The integrity of our sport is already low and we...

Doyle, this is just for YRE's. I still love the hosted "EVENTS" and would never want to do away with those. They are so important. One "computer-geek gal" and...

I know the answer to why we can't have walk instructions online has to do with the cost of insurance. You can easily avoid the liability waiver signing if you...

I think Wendy has hit the mark squarely, as usual. Let's stop asking whether we can do this, and, instead, find a way to do it. Wendy's proposal seems...
