Greyhounds in Need Social Dog Walk

Date: Sunday, 21 October 2007
Start time: 11.00 am
Parking: “BURBUSH HILL” Car Park, Nr Burley.

Description

This walk, approximately 4 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.  There are footbridges over most of the streams along the route,  but it can be quite muddy in a couple of places – especially near Whitten Pond after heavy rainfall. Please wear appropriate footwear dependant on recent weather!

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

Directions

Leave the A31 Ringwood – Southampton road at Picket Post, signposted Burley. Follow the road through Burley Street into Burley. At the war memorial bear Right, signposted  Bransgore and Christchurch. After about a mile, as you leave the built up area,  the car park is on the Left.

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!
