Love the photos. We did that walk last November I think it was. The no fishing sign gave us a chuckle too. It is a lovely walk Nicky

Here's some feedback from Elaine on the walk...
"Just to give you an update on the Harlow walk that we did on Sunday. It was a marvelous day and the sun shone all the way.In fact my face was tingling by the time I got back to the car, so I must have caught the sun. Fourteen dogs turned up with their owners, and most of them were the dogs that have been homed from the Bishops Stortford kennels so it was great to see them again. Thats what makes this job worthwhile when you see them happy and loved in their new lives. I was so proud of them as they were all so well behaved as we walked past a variety of different shapes and sizes of dogs who were also taking a stroll along the river and around the park.We also have a few enquiries about rehoming greyhounds so it shows you what great ambasadors for the Trust they were. The walk ended where it started at the Greyhound pub so we were all able to sit down and have a well deserved drink and a chat before going home. So I would like to give everybody a big thank you for turning up and taking part in the walk and hope to see them on our next walk which will be on 18th April at the same time, same place. Andy and Charmain are organising Our local radio station `Ten17` to be there so hopefully we will have another nice sunny day and a good turn out of dogs and owners."

Can I ask how long the walk is and whether you have the patience for slowcoaches? Also whether it's flat or hilly? I can't currently walk too fast, especially on hills or for a sustained period, but I wouldn't want to slow people up if I came along. I can stroll along if the terrain isn't too bad.

Hi normally the walks are on flat ground, really good for people like me, who since having cancer, now have very damaged lungs and can only walk on the flat and not at a very good pace, so if every you want to come join me i am a slow coach because of lung problems. What a terrific walk it turned out to be Elaine should be really over the moon with all the dogs homed from her that turned up she does a fantastic job. well done Pat
