Val (Zebedee) Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Well, it was quite an experience, my first jaunt around the res! Where I live, we've had practically no snow (a bit of hailstones & ice last week for a day) so to go to res & see all the snow on the way there & actually around the area was great!! We had one or two little slips within the group which, when you see how much ice there was under foot, is quite a miracle! But it was a good day out, great to meet new people, put names to faces & have a laugh! It wasn't cold, we did get rained on half way through the walk, it was very misty so could not see the beautiful scenery around us or the amazing wildlife (horses, sheep & cows nose to nose with us!) too well, but it is definitely on the "to do again" list for spring / summer time! Hope you like the pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great pics Val Has Big D ever been able to walk past water without going in for a dip ? He is a fearless yes, it is Diesel in the water - would you believe when we first rescued him, on the way home from picking him up, we stopped on the North Wales coast for a walk on the beach, stretch our legs & loo stop for D & Myshka - he cried & squealed when he saw the water, he wouldn't go near it, he backed right away! Now, you can't keep the little water baby away!! As for walking belts, I've started using one, I never realised how much better they are than having your arm jerked out of it's socket!! But they are ... the only "downside" is trying to pull the dogs back to you, but I'm still learning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
