The only reason I use this path is to avoid having to cross the main road on a blind bend.brewerukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13449727123903424041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648587423460241493.post-80624603400566853272023-03-15T07:42:15.969+00:002023-03-15T07:42:15.969+00:00Hi, they didn't get through the fence (autocor...Hi, they didn't get through the fence (autocorrect above for snarling!) but the owner was nearby and made no attempt to call them away and he could see I was struggling to pass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648587423460241493.post-88420746299696367282023-03-03T11:08:12.544+00:002023-03-03T11:08:12.544+00:00Hi Dog Walker like you have walked this many times...Hi Dog Walker like you have walked this many times ( I don’t have a dog ) but the dogs at House point 4 go Nuts every time I pass.

Did they get through the fence and attack you on the public right of way?

However today we encountered the dogs living at the house at point 6 who were very very unhappy at my dogs (on lead) being on the footpath, and it was quite a traumatic section passing them in their sneaking through the fence. Just a warning to other dog walkers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648587423460241493.post-5924161741910790652022-04-28T15:29:18.320+01:002022-04-28T15:29:18.320+01:00Yes, we do this walk every couple of weeks and cal...Yes, we do this walk every couple of weeks and call at The Woodman for a pint.

I had added that to another walk that takes the same path but forgot to add it to Walk 2, so thanks. <br /><br />I have also added a comment about the security dogs, where are apparently used on leads during security patrols because of a recent spate of poaching. <br /><br />Sorry you got stung by nettles and scratched by thistles. We do warn in our About page that some paths can get overgrown during certain times of the year and to dress accordingly. <br /><br />I quite like the short walk along the quiet West End Lane at the end. A lot of walks include quiet lanes without footpaths. Unfortunately this can't always be avoided when creating a looped walk. Again, apologies.<br /><br />Davebrewerukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13449727123903424041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648587423460241493.post-30037118971396835782018-06-12T11:59:38.059+01:002018-06-12T11:59:38.059+01:00Done a few walks on this site.

First field had a horse that ran over from the other side of the field to attack my dog. It tried several times to kick it. I shielded my dog and let go of the lead and told my dog to run which he did gladly. I got a few thumps from the horse before it decided I was no longer a threat as my dog had gone. Not very attractive lanes on this walk. Many security lights and cameras, signs saying guard dogs patrol, loose live stock, keep your dog on a lead. Not very relaxing. Then as I trod on a stick, angry sounding pack of guard dogs sounded like they would burst through the barn wall and eat us alive. Walk ends with disappointing trek down the road as no paths available.Legs covered in thistles scratches and nettle stings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
