Today we took the dogs to Nun's Cross in Princetown for a long walk (6 miles). It was surprising warm for February so it was quite pleasant. The dogs all had a pretty good time, although I don't think they were quite expecting the long distance (compared to their normal distances anyway where they also get the frisbee thrown). Willow was merrily finding and trapsing through every bog she could find so she probably weighed an extra 1kg in peat by the time we got back to the car. Meanwhile Glyn was running ahead then sprinting about before realising that was a bit of a tiring game before skidding chest-first through some conviently springy peat bog. Molly, surprising, turned out to the more sensible of the dogs and spent the majority of her time sniffing and leisurely exploring with periodic bursts of sprinting.
The walk took us about 1.5hrs and Gareth and I shared a portion of chips at Princetown Police Station Cafe before handing the mud-magnets back to Mum and Dad.
Gareth is certainly spoiling me with all these walks with the dogs and outings!
Once again, this in another photo-less post as the batteries in my camera completely died after taking one photo of Gareth which I don't even know it took as the camera died before I could preview it. My blog is destined to a bland, vacuous block of text for eternity!

Glad to see that you and Gareth are able to get out and have some fun together. A change of scenery can work wonders. It must be nice for the two of you to be able to get out on your own now that Gareth can drive.
