Questions people ask
- How many walks near Hucknall pass the checks for a nervous or reactive dog?
- 120 walks or more: 6% of the 1,800 or more we measured within 5 km of the middle of Hucknall. Of the 880 or more that are 2.5 to 8 km long, 14% pass.
- What stops the most walks near Hucknall?

- Does a walk that passes mean it will be quiet?
- No. The checks are about the ground: the roads beside the way, the roads to cross and the fields you pass. How busy a path is depends on the hour and the day, and a map cannot tell us that, so passing is not a promise that you will have it to yourselves. In the app, what walkers tell us about a walk is shown beside it with the date they went.
