A Forum dog meet - and about time too!

[Strix]

Can you recommend a good walking spot then Buffy, and perhaps a suitabe pub for afterwards?

Having consulted the map I've no idea how nice or grotty any of those footpaths are, so can somebody provide some local knowledge, please?

 

Pubs for dogs nearby would be useful too

To be honest, I've not been living in this end of town for long so don't know the best places to take the dog. He usually rambles around Rawson Spring (just off the bottom of Herries Rd), but I've no idea as to the nearest pub to end up in - there aren't any near it.

 

Can anyone else recommend any good dog walking zones with a pub nearby in the Hillsbro' area?

So, currently we have 5 people up for a walk, to end in a pub, on a weekend afternoon, and 5 unknown species joining us

 

Wonder if there's a tortoise in there?

 

I assume Fergus, Max and Tara are too shy to do forum meets

Takara's ready for walkies this Friday!!! Yay!!! We can get out the house and burn off that energy!

 

She can only do 15 minutes for the first month though, so if it's any time soon we'll have to meet you towards the end!

 

Also, I have the same problem as Classic Rock - even though Takara loves the car, she's always sick! She jumps about too much so it can't be too far or we can't make it for a good while! We have to combat the car sickness

 

Keep us updated though - would love to do it!

Does anybody think the weather has improved enough to get this off the ground yet?

 

Buffy, have you found any good spots near you yet?

If you're looking for somewhere near Hillsborough, Rivelin's good, walk up Rivelin Valley, up to the S bend and back, then finish up in the Holly Bush, bottom of Hollins Lane... Very dog friendly apparently, outside at least as they do food so they don't want dogs indoors for obvious reasons.

Thanks Rich - looks like the Rivelin Valley is worth a try

 

... and as for the Holly Bush, is that your own analysis of the dog rules there, or do you know for certain it's a dog free zone (and we'd be better finding somewhere else in this weather )

 

*goes to find phonebook to check*
