Walking dogs in GL5, honestly.

Written dog walker to dog walker. This is the ground truth the apps and lead sites have never stood in — at six in the morning, in the rain.

The doors. Cottages over the pavement in the old centre of Stroud, newer closes on the ring — a town's worth of terriers, collies and doodles between them. Everything sits minutes apart, so the day holds more walks than a city round could ever squeeze in. Puppies follow moving vans as surely as spring follows winter, and this patch moves roughly 502 households in a normal year.

The parking. Out here kerb space is rarely fought over, and estate pickups usually hand the van a drive. Access, in full: park, clip leads, walk. The town supplies the rest. Green space is a short drive at most here — town rounds keep an urban pace with country walking at the end of it.

The round. The round in GL5 works around Stroud, Uplands, Cainscross, Ebley and Paganhill. Around 14,080 households live here, and the ones who take a dog walker keep them — five days a week, term time and holidays, years on end. That's not a lead list — that's a round, built once and kept.
