# 26-May-2026 — A configurable walk day, and walk leaders can add their own walks
_____
Until now the walks programme assumed Sunday walks, and only Walks Admins could add walks. This update lets your group set its own regular walk day, and - if your committee chooses to allow it - lets ordinary members add their own walk without needing Walks Admin access.
## Setting your walk day, and who can add walks
Go to **Walks → Admin → Config → General**. There are two settings:
- **Regular Walk Day** - the day your group usually walks. It starts as Sunday; change it if your group walks on, say, a Wednesday. It is used when bulk-adding walk slots and in the wording members see.
- **Walk leader self-service - who can create their own walk** - choose who, if anyone, may add their own walk. The choices work like the access levels elsewhere on the site: **No access** (the starting point, so nobody can), **Logged-in member**, **Committee**, and a couple of wider options.
*Above: Walks → Admin → Config → General, with the new Regular Walk Day and walk-creation access level.*
## How a member adds a walk
Once you set this to anything other than No access, the members you've allowed will see an extra option on the walks page. It's in the **view menu** - the button that switches between Cards, Table and Map views - and reads **Add non-Sunday walk**, following whatever you've set as your regular walk day.

Choosing it opens a new walk for the member to fill in - the date (which leaders can now set themselves), start time, title and route - with the member already set as the walk leader. From there the walk follows your group's normal approval process. The Walks Admin pages stay for admins only.

## Other improvements
- **Choose a start time** when adding walk slots, instead of them defaulting to midnight.
- **Walk leaders can set the walk date** themselves, not just admins.
- A **clearer confirmation message** when you save Walk Configuration.
- A fix so the **duplicate-event count** on Event Data Management is shown against the right group, rather than repeated across renamed groups.
Nothing changes for existing groups unless you want it to: walks stay on Sunday until you change the day, and members can't add walks until you allow it.
