Paws for bibic

Welcome to Paws for bibic!

Thank you for supporting our charity!

You are taking part in what we hope will be a fun day out for the whole family to enjoy.

The route is approximately a 3.5-mile loop, meeting at 10am at The Boathouse, Uphill wharf, Uphill, Weston-Super-Mare, BS234XR.

The walk will include fields and the beach itself, so appropriate clothing is a must. And don’t worry, friendly members of our team will be there to guide you along the right path. The walk also has points where you can take a shorter route if preferred.

There are several available places to park, just remember to allow yourself lots of time as some of them are a short walk from the venue meeting point. If you are joining us from a far, you might also want to plot your route in advance and the desired length of your walk.

We are asking every owner to be responsible for their dogs and to kindly clear up all of their dog’s own waste and dispose of it themselves.

For dogs that need space, please have them wear something yellow so everyone can see this. We understand that not all dogs want attention and their welfare is our priority.

There will be refreshments for both dogs and humans available at The Boathouse for purchase, but if your dog is a thirsty walker, please do remember to bring a portable drinking bowl and water with you on the day.

Every dog who joins Paws for bibic will receive a certificate and token of thanks to remember the day.
