SOUTH EASTERN WELSH SPRINGER SPANIEL CLUB – SPRING WALK

We will be holding our Spring dog walk on Sunday 20th April 2008 at Hunts Common, Hartley Wintney.

Please join us once again for a leisurely stroll over Hunts Common in the Hampshire village of Hartley Wintney for our annual Spring Walk. Those who have been before will agree that this is a most enjoyable afternoon for owners and dogs alike. The walk takes us through bluebell woods, open common and mature beech woods, and there is a river with a shallow ford towards the end so some of the mud gathered on the way can be washed off! The route takes about 2 hours and can be quite muddy in parts, so boots or stout walking shoes are recommended.

We meet at the Cricketers pub by the green at 1.30pm for a 1.45pm start. Those wishing to have lunch beforehand should meet from 12 noon at the pub, where refreshments are available; alternatively, bring a picnic to enjoy next to the green.

Everyone is invited back to the Methodist Hall in the High Street for tea and cakes at the end of the walk – thank you to local member Thelma Cox for arranging this. As numbers seem to increase every year, a plate of cakes, bought or home-made would be much appreciated. Pet owners and families are especially welcome, so we look forward to seeing you there.

For more details please contact: Ruth (01252) 614846.

Directions: Hartley Wintney is on the A30 mid-way between Basingstoke and Camberley (also mid-way between junctions 4a and 5 on the M3). From the A30 at Hartley Wintney take the A323 towards Fleet, but just a few yards along and before you get into second gear, turn left and follow the road round to the cricket green – the Cricketers pub is on the left facing the green.
