Greyhounds in Need Social Dog Walk

Description

This walk, approximately 3¾ miles long, should take around 1½ hrs 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 muddy in a couple of places – especially after heavy rainfall.  Please wear appropriate footwear/waterproofs dependent on recent weather!

The walk crosses over Rhinefield Road , at the start and finish.  Please take care with your dogs and keep them on the lead for this part, as the road can be busy at weekends.

Directions

Either: leave the A31 Ringwood-Southampton  road at Picket Post, follow signs through Burley to Brockenhurst. Stay on this road which  skirts the edge of Brockenhurst and then doubles back to the left. The signs to Puttles Bridge car park are on your right.

OR: take the A35 from Christchurch , turn off to Brockenhurst, then as above.

Please take care entering and leaving the car park, which can be busy.

A donation of £2.00 per person for Greyhounds in Need will be collected 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!
