Hmmm I can tell this is going to get boring and my poor paws will be worn out! Mum seems to think it will be a good idea to do the Keswick to Barrow walk. Apparently this is a 40 'stroll'! Of course I have been drafted in to do the training. Piece of cake I thought. Well it would be if Mum wasn't so competitive.  Last Monday we have a nice walk around Silverdale and Arnside. I can't remember the route but it was walk 2511 off the walking Britain website. We had a good day, Mum sound a bit panicked when I thought I'd take a look down some rocks and onto the beach. Didn't want to upset so I carried along the footpath. Yawn!! The walk was 8 miles and we took 2hrs 20mins. This included a lunch stop, well for her it did but I only got a few scraps.

Yesterday I was dragged out around Kendal. Saw some places I recognised from when we lived there. I thought we might have been popping for a brew at her friends house but got pulled back down the path. I gave a husky what for. To be honest it deserved it, it was pulling its owner all over the place. Mum did warn her I can be grumpy and she laughed, hmm not a good idea I told her dog exactly what I thought of it. Our time improved we walked 10 miles in 2hrs 40mins. Mum has a new thing on her phone to map our route. I will start posting maps when sh'e figured out how to put them on the computer.

Fingers crossed Bruce can come with again sometime. He has to rest at the mo because he has GSD back legs problems.

Hi

Finally the rain has stopped, we done our fundraising and we've had a day off! We missed a walk last weekend when Uncle Phil and Jonesy went walking up Helvellyn. We told them not to bother but the youngsters wouldn't listen and they came back down sharpish due to bad weather.

Today was much better. We went up Arnside Knott, down through a rather fancy caravan park. Bruce remembers his caravan holidays so was quite excited and then headed back home. Not a bad walk for Bruce, he managed very well as we were out for a couple of hours and he keep pace all the way. We will try some low level hill walks with him next.

Hope you've had a good weekend and thank you to all the people that came to our bring and buy sale yesterday. I've had a count up, ran out of toes because we raised £631!!!!

Love Molly, Bruce and Becca

Hi Folks

Sorry I've not been on for a while. We've had some treks out but the weather has been terrible so we've not so far with doing any exciting walks. High winds and and fog have sent us back down on a couple of occasions now. I'm very small and find it difficult keeping all four feet on the ground sometimes. Mother has told me that we do not want to have to call Mountain Rescue out just because we were silly.


I would like to fill you in on my new mate, Bruce. He is a very old German Shepherd. I flew at him the minute he got through the door and he passed that test well. After much consideration I have decided that I really like him. We aren't sure just yet if he can make it on long walks but we will build him up and see how he gets on.

Phil, Scott and Rik, pleased they made it to the top
