Carsington water

Sunday 18th Oct This was a lovely walk about 8.5 miles, it took us across embankment, through woods, up and down, not always, gentle slopes and gave us views of beautiful fields. We saw geese,cows, horses, sheep, small birds, birds of prey and an old bombing tower. We also had a bonus ice cream van about 3 km from the end. Less blisters today, might have something to do with good quality socks and tying my laces tighter ! The dogs absolutely loved the walk, Korra made a sheep pal, Aria made friends with a staffie and Cassie barked at both friends and foe, but she did meet her match in an old grouchy poodle cross that barked first! This one took us a long time to finish, about 4 hours. And a quick note about the map, I forgot to stop the app so I manually edited the distance as it took the first bit of the drive home as part of the walk and said I was very fast!  A big improvement on my earlier aporox 30mins per km !

Another 5k added to the walkies

Tuesday 13th Oct Lovely walk across the fields and over the park, the dogs are starting to ask to go for walkies. They love fund raising Share

10 km in the peaks

Saturday 3rd Oct We did it! All the pups loved the walk, checking out the cows, sheep and other walkers  both two and four legged ones. Cassie was, of course very loud about every meeting and was shocked when a labrodor barked back even louder! I gathered a couple of blisters, since the walking socks I ordered got delivered to a neighbour ... in Leicester! I think we did a fine job of gathering the miles and did it in good time Share

First big walk

Thursday 1st Oct Korra ( my grandpup) is leading the team with an ambitious 90 mile goal, so we are riding her slipstream and planning to do a nice long walk on the weekend all the pups together! Watch this space *woof woof*  Share
