Report on our 16th Fox Terrier Fun Walk


Photograph by David Moon















Saturday 29th October 2016 saw our 16th Fox Terrier Fun Walk in Brighton, UK, which we co-hosted with Diana from Terrier SOS

103 dogs attended, along with their accompanying humans, of course. There were:

63 Wire Fox Terriers
10 Lakeland Terriers
8 Welsh Terriers
4 Bedlington Terriers
4 Airedales
2 Glen of Imaal Terriers
2 Smooth Fox Terriers
2 Lurchers
1 Patterdale Terrier
1 Tibetan  Terrier
1 Springer Spaniel
1 Jack Russell
1 Dachshund
1 Cockapoo
1 Wire Fox Terrier X
1 Spanish Water Dog

The walk followed its usual format. We met at Brighton Marina at 11.00 and after registering the dogs and their humans, sauntered along the Undercliff Walk to the Ovingdean Gap Cafe. Here we stopped for refreshments, with many terriers playing off lead on the beach, A number continued on to Rottingdean for lunch before strolling back across the cliff tops to our starting place. Another group headed directly back to the Marina, stopping at different cafes on our return.

A huge thank you for everyone who turned up and made this such a special occasion. We were very lucky to be joined on the walk by Gabriella from France, and Philippe from Belgium with their dogs. Thank you so much!

If you would like to be added to our mailing list to be kept informed of future Fun Walks, please do get in touch.

Hope to see you all in April 2017!

Basil's fundraising adventure

Basil & Michael on our Fox Terrier Fun Walk, April 2010
Our dear old Fox Terrier pal Basil is raising funds for the DogsTrust.

Accompanied by his owner Michael, Basil will be walking an almost 200 mile coast to coast route, from the cliffs of St Bees on the Irish Sea, to the fishing village of Robin Hood’s Bay on the North Sea.

As Basil is blind and 15 years old, he will only walk short distances, the rest of the time he will be carried by Michael in his customised rucksack.

The walk is scheduled to take around 16 days, passing through three National Parks and across some of the UK's best landscapes. 

If you would like to help Basil reach his target of £3,200 for the DogsTrust, please click here to donate.

Good luck Basil!
