Golden tickets up for grabs in Forest Walkies at Fineshade Wood
• Lucky winners bag a treasure trove of goodies for four-legged friends and their humans • It's the perfect excuse to wag those tails and explore the nation’s gorgeous forests this autumn
Calling all dog lovers! Your furry friend could be in for the walkies of a lifetime this autumn as Forestry England launches a wonderfully whimsical treasure hunt across the nation's forests. Twenty-one lucky pups (and their humans) will discover Gromit's Golden Tickets hidden inside Forest Walkies with Wallace & Gromit trail packs, unleashing a tail-wagging bounty of prizes that would make every doggy bark with joy!
Winners receive delightful Wallace & Gromit goodies, a full year of forest adventures with Forestry England membership, a fabulous OS deluxe picnic blanket, cutlery set and water bottle perfect for forest feasts, Gromit's very own raincoat and sou'wester outfit for your four-legged friend to sport on drizzly day walkies, plus collar and lead, and a Caboodle Weekly Meal Plan.
This golden opportunity builds on the runaway success of the Forest Walkies with Wallace & Gromit trails which you can find at Fineshade Wood. The trails see dogs and their owners enjoying specially designed routes with fun challenges like the 'Gromit seconds' sit test and celebratory "cheese Gromit!" photo opportunities while searching for criminal mastermind Feathers McGraw.
Aysha Shaw, Forest Centre Manager, says; “Forest Walkies has been a great way to get families and their dogs out exploring the forest. Now, with Gromit’s Golden Ticket hidden in one of the activity packs, there’s an extra reason to get involved”
Each Forest Walkies pack is a treasure in itself, packed in a charming Wallace & Gromit tote bag, with a stylish bandana for your canine companion, a Find Feathers challenge sheet, Wallace & Gromit stickers and access to those wonderful forest routes where adventure awaits around every tree.
So, grab your lead, encourage the family to put on their walking boots, and bring your best friend to the forest this autumn. With golden tickets hiding in packs across the country, your next forest adventure could be the start of something truly special!
Gromit's Golden Tickets competition launches on 1 September. Pick up your trail pack at participating forests and keep those eyes peeled for that golden gleam! For more information and to find your nearest forest and join the golden ticket hunt, visit the Forestry England website.
