Walkies! Is your dog walking route the nation's best?
18/09/2007
Actor and former Blue Peter presenter Tim Vincent and his dog Ruby have launched a nationwide search to find the best dog walks. Called the "Winalot Roasts Walkies Campaign" all dog owners are invited to put their dog-walking route on the map - and nominate their favourite walk.
The winner stands to win a weekend break to a dog friendly hotel, a trophy and a year’s supply of Winalot Roasts.
Says Tim: “When I’m at home in Wales I love walking with Ruby and enjoying the fresh country air. Not only is it a good way for us to bond, but we both encourage each other to go just that little bit further.”
Recent studies have also confirmed that dog owners walk an average of 300 minutes a week as opposed to 168 minutes for those without a dog, and can also benefit from lower stress levels, lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, reduced anxiety and fewer common ailments - such as colds or back ache - as a result of having a dog.
