The next step of our Aberystwyth adventure started on Sunday morning with Devils Bridge. Just a short drive along from where our cottage was, we parked up in the free parking and headed to the ticket office. Access is via … Continue reading
This blog post is part of a series all about my recent long weekend away to Aberystwyth. I want to talk about the three walks we did individually, plus write a review of the holiday cottage we stayed in, so … Continue reading
Me, Ash and Guinness have just crash landed back home after a lovely few days away in Aberystwyth. I’ve got lots to share including photos, three great walk routes plus a little review of the dog-friendly holiday cottage we stayed … Continue reading
I spent ages looking for the right camera backpack. Searching through websites and forums, reading reviews and watching countless youtube videos! I was trying to find something that would fit my camera plus a lens or two, but also my lunch and … Continue reading
It’s been a while since I’ve been to Tittesworth. Ash and I have been a handful of times in the past but not for ages. We had a free Saturday last weekend and despite it being a murky day we … Continue reading
Distance: 5 miles approx Time: 2 hours No. of pubs en route: 2 Safety notes: Some small sections of country lane walking with no pavements. I’ve talked about walking along the saltline many times and recently posted some photographs of my Alsager – Rode … Continue reading
I’m not talking about a long walk along the cycle tracks or canal (although these tips will still apply), I’m talking about a hike up a mountain or across fields, setting off after breakfast with a full rucksack and a … Continue reading
As Summer has arrived I’ve seen quite a few people talking about how they’ve decided to try camping for the first time, or writing about their first trip away in a tent with the family. One of the main reasons … Continue reading
For competitors, Bank Holidays often mean long weekends at agility shows. For me this weekend has been for catch-ups, romance, shopping and today… walking! After two busy days with Ash I now have two days alone with Guinness, and I decided … Continue reading
I don’t often drive somewhere to walk Guinness as I have ample fields for him to run in nearby plus the Satline a short walk away if we prefer a less-muddy walk or cycle. However I love to take the short … Continue reading
If I could pick anywhere to live I would definitely choose a woodland or forest. I feel most at home amongst the trees and soil, covered by a canopy of leaves with patches of sunshine (or more often spots of rain) … Continue reading
Sunday morning, after a bumpy night on the Airbus we found our connection and arrived at our hotel, the Hues Boutique. Despite Thomson arranging an early check-in we were told we would have to wait and it could be 6 hours … Continue reading
After some minor drama in the Sydney Domestic flights terminal (23kg allowance?! But we have 30…. oh we’re okay) we boarded our tiny little plane to take the 1 hour 50 flight from Sydney to Hobart. The plane goes up, … Continue reading
After a total of 19 hours in the air, about 3 of which were spent asleep, and around 24 hours of travelling (which began with an hour delay after one woman had a final destination moment and decided to get … Continue reading
I’m loving my time abroad at the moment. I’ll blog about it when I am home, but until then here are three snapshots of the three places we have. SYDNEY TASMANIA DUBAI
I’m going away for 3 weeks in January. A week in Sydney, a week in Tasmania and a week in Dubai! (Stand down burglars, my house will not be empty).
I’d be lying if I said this is the reason I’ve not started agility training yet, but it does take part of the blame.
Last month after a training session Guinness limped on his injured leg.
A month later he slipped in the field and limped slightly on his opposite back leg.
Im not ready to commit to training him again, both mentally as well as timely.
I have been casually asking myself if we should retire or not. I now have the process to answer that question, and in February I will answer it.
For now Guinness and I are enjoying our break. I will be enjoying my break, from agility, work and this country.
Then, when I get back, it’s time to rock n roll. I’m prepared for either outcome and I know deep down the decision will be whatever is best for Guinness.
See you in February!
I don’t normally do “tough” things. I’ve never been one to take on challenges. I do achievable things, which to me aren’t massive challenges. I wouldn’t try to swim the channel, because I’d drown. I don’t go on rollercoaster’s because … Continue reading
Today Mum, Guinness and I set off for a walk to explore pastures great and new, equipped with a free leaflet by the Cheshire East Rangers. We started from Alsager and headed along the Saltline. A frequent dog walking route … Continue reading
I always enjoy getting outside with my dog but especially so if it’s nice and sunny. This week I had an afternoon off, it was glorious weather and we got out for an early afternoon stroll. When I walk my … Continue reading
We did it! In the pouring rain and very heavy cloud we completed the Yorkshire 3 Peaks in 14 hours 15 minutes! On Saturday 18th July we woke up with the sound of heavy rain falling on the tents and … Continue reading
