Want to lead a walk?

If you want to organise a walk in your area, please let me know and I'll put it up on this site. Criteria: 5+ miles, with some woods or open moorland for a good run and ideally finish near a pub or café.

The Basset Hound Club Membership just £9 a year. There is also a £3 fee to join the South-West Branch. For their website see here. They have Fun Days with prizes, a Christmas lunch and some wee walks.

The South East Basset Club can be found here. We were members 30 odd years ago. A cheerful bunch.

Live in Surrey? There is another informal Basset walking group based at Dorking who walk the first Sunday in the month. No website but contact Rebecca or Bruce Boychuk on 07710 974544 (mobile) or home 01306 711137.
