Normal Service has been resumed!
Well, after the extraordinarily hot summer, finally our walks return to normal. Never have we had to cancel so many walks due to good weather! And to be fair, we don’t like cancelling them for bad weather either! But, at all times the safety of the hounds (and humans) is paramount. Far better to cancel […]

Too hot to walk! 1st July walks cancelled
My oh my it’s hot out there! A message from the Greyhound Walks Trustees It has been decided that it would be extremely foolhardy for our two walks this coming Sunday at Brandon (Suffolk) and Hadleigh Country Park (Essex) to continue as it would be waaaay too hot to travel to and from the walks […]
