Great Greyhound Walk Croft Farm Water Park 2025 – 327 dogs walked

5 years ago Dave Landy bought a caravan.  He also had a greyhound and wondered what it would be like to take the greyhound – along with his family – on a caravan holiday.  He then asked the question on facebook if there were other people who camped with their greyhounds.  This grew until now there are over 7,000 members of the CACWGAS fb group.

Over the last weekend in September 2025 Dave and his team organised the 5th get together to coincide with the Greyt Greyhound Walk where over 350 sighthounds walked for charity.  We met at Croft Farm Water Park near Tewkesbury where the caravan park, lodges and chalets were filled with hoomans and hounds, nearly 200 hoomans and nearly double that of sighthounds – and a few of their companions.

There were retail shops, quizzes and auctions and live music in the huge marquee, together with a fun dog show where Rosie won ‘Best Decorated Lead’.  (I’m still getting the hang of using this new blog system and have yet to learn to add an image!)

Through all the fundraising over the weekend, over £10,000 was raised (including a couple of large donations) to share between 2 greyhound charities.

Croft Farm Water Park is now booked for September 2026 and 2027, with pitches and lodges allocated on a first come first served basis.
