How to use this site
There are three ways to browse out walks.
- From the navigation menu at the top of every page (also to the right of the page on desktop and listed at the very bottom of every page on a mobile device).
- They’re all listed in the order that I added them to the site here.
- Or visit the map page and click on the markers that I have added to a custom ‘Rena’s Top Spots’ Googlemap. If that location has a walk post published, there will be links in the marker description to the post on this site and to the Footpath app route.
Greyhound approved…!
Most of the walks on this site are between two and three miles long – perfect for your typical greyhound, who enjoys a good walk but tends to be lazy. There are no stiles as it drove me bonkers when 28kg Rena and I would get a couple of miles into a lovely walk only to discover a bloody stile on it.
