Walk programme


Basset Hound Walkers at Savernake

The walk programme is set out here. All will be around five - six miles to make it worthwhile journeying from a distance. The next walk is on Sunday March 7th 2010, 10.30am at Alfred's Tower, nr Stourhead. Full details here. Just bring some lunch and bonios.

Ham Hill basset walk

Our first proper walk was in October 2007 from Ham Hill near Yeovil along the ridge to Montacute (see above). Then back for lunch at the Prince of Wales. A modest five miler. We repeated this walk in June 2009.

  Finally a legal preamble: anyone partaking these walks must look after themselves and their hound. Neither I nor the Basset Hound Club (if you're a member) can accept responsibility for any mishap. OK? We're just a group of friends out for a walk who happen to have an addiction.
