When you consider the extremes of weather this year, it is remarkable that we have managed any walks at all! But we have, and the two Christmas Walks at Royston and Rickmansworth were great fun. At Royston we had an opportunity to say farewell to Graham (with Hector and Bonnie), one of our most loyal […]

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 […]

Well what a summer so far! We moan when it’s wet, we moan when it’s hot and we even moan when it’s in between! But despite whatever the weather may do, plans for our annual dog show are in full swing and we are hoping for the perfect day in every way. Our show has […]

This weather is starting to get a bit tedious – especially for those who would like to enjoy their regular greyhound walks! The weather at Lee Valley on Sunday is expected to be another scorcher, so we have taken the regrettable decision to cancel. Hopefully, normal service will be resumed shortly!!!

The decision has been taken to cancel the walk at Notley CP today as we have predicted temperatures of 24 degrees at 10am.  For the wellbeing of our dogs and walkers it is best if they are kept out of the heat and sun.  Apologies to everyone but you know it’s for the best reasons. […]

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 […]

A Sea of Colour on our 2018 New Year’s Day Walk! Hylands Park in Chelmsford was a sea of colour on New Year’s Day 2018 as one hundred and sixty nine sighthounds in their best coats brought their owners for a walk. There were graceful greyhounds, elegant salukis, gorgeous galgos, wrapped up whippets, lively lurchers […]
