Life Membership

Did you know you can now take out a Life Membership of the Dales Way Association? Instead of renewing every year supporters of the Association can now make a single payment of £120 (£180 for a family) and know that your membership will be ongoing. In return you will get newsletters sent by email and access to the members’ area of the website.

More importantly you will know that your money is being used to make improvements to the Dales Way. We regularly donate money from our membership income to help repair stiles and gates, mend bridges and resurface the path.

To join the DWA either as an Annual or Life Member please go to http://www.dalesway.org/membersubscribe.html
