Many of you know that we have an annual 15 mile walk to honour all our hounds that are at Rainbow Bridge. We'd like to invite you to join us in this very special walk.
We chose the walk between Notley Country Park (Braintree) as this is where our very first Greyhound Walk was held and we go along the very peaceful disused railway line, the Flitch Way. It's a time to chat with friends, reflect on our memories and to remember the hounds we have loved.
Our route this year, as last, will be:
Start /Finish at Notley CP from the green where the GW walks start:
Meet at 8am ready to walk at 8.30am.
A circuit of the Country Park then over the footbridge to the Flitch Way
We follow the Flitch Way to the Dunmow 'branch line' and then return back to the Booking Hall Cafe for afternoon tea and back to the Country Park
Not everyone can do 15 miles so we have a little taxi service available to pick up people/hounds and return them to their cars.
The stopping/drop off/pick up points we have earmarked are:
Booking Hall Cafe at Rayne
Gatewoods Lane (where you cross the road and there are special gates for the horses to go over. People who have been before will know what I'm talking about! You can drive a car down there to those gates to save walking to the main road)
A120 Rayne footbridge at Dunmow Road
Bannister Green Halt Bridge
5 Star Boarding Kennels Stebbing Road
Old Felsted Station (by the gypsy camp)
Playing Field at Little Dunmow (Brook Street/St Marys Place)
(we'll work out distances for these and post to the thread.)
We also invite people to have their hounds name on the tshirts that the walkers wear so that they walk with us every step of the way.
If you would like to join the walk or have a name on the tshirt please email [email protected]
