Hosted by dog-friendly George and Dragon Inn Fordwich Canterbury, starting at 9.30am with a complimentary bacon sandwich, tea and coffee, followed by a 3 mile circular walk this is what the George and Dragon have to say ...

"Meet at the pub for 9.30am for a complimentary bacon sandwich, tea or coffee before heading off at 10am for a 3 mile circular walk. We will be taking in the beautiful views of Stour valley, to the pretty River Stour itself, and the surrounding countryside. We should arrive back at the pub for around midday, for a well earned pint or a spot of lunch if you fancy? This is a free event, but would appreciate if you could let us know below, if you're planning on joining us (1 ticket per person) so we know how many people to cater for."

At the Puppy Dog Tails field between Borstal and Wouldham this normally runs on Saturdays 10-10.55am for pups up to 10kg. Lynda who owns Puppy Dog Tails is always in attendance along with her apprentices and there is a tuck shop with doggy ice cream for sale.
