Greyhounds in Need Social Dog Walk

Date: Sunday, 18 February  2007
Start time: 11.00 am
Parking: Godshill Ridge Car Park, Godshill, Nr Fordingbridge.

Description

This walk, approximately 4¾ miles long, should take around 2 hours at a leisurely pace.  It covers a diverse area of woodland and open heath with some water stops for the dogs to enjoy.  It is mostly a well made path, but can be quite muddy in a couple of places – especially after heavy rainfall.  Stout walking shoes or wellington boots are recommended.

Please respect other users of the forest, especially ponies and horse riders, and maintain control of your dog. 

Directions

Take the A338 from Ringwood towards Fordingbridge.  Just before Fordingbridge filter left, signposted Godshill B3078, then right to cross under main road.  Go all the way through the village and out into the Forest, up past the first car park on right.  Next car park is below the road to the right, just after signs on left "Godshill Pottery" and "Saltings" Watch out as it is easy to drive past! 

There should be plenty of space but it may well be busy with other dog walkers and family groups so please take care entering and leaving the car park.

A donation of £2.00 per person for Greyhounds in Need can be payable to Sue North before the start of the walk.

All dogs must be kept under the control and supervision of their owners.  All dogs attend this event at their owner's risk and while every care will be taken, Greyhounds in Need accepts no responsibility for loss, damage or injury however caused to dogs, persons or property while at this event.  Sore feet and paws included!
