Eight canines - this has to be something of a record! It was a bit of a struggle for some of the owners to keep them separate as we gathered for this Sunday's meet...because after all every dog has his or her pride and a need to sort out who's who in the hierarchy....
Rain had done its best to wash out the markings, but the blue arrows were still there for those with eyes to see. The trail took both runners and walkers past some of the extraordinary Grand Designs that have sprouted (and are sprouting) over the Wilston hill. What impressive homes they are! And if anyone is wondering why it's so hard to get a builder nowadays, it's because they are all working in this area.
Runners and walkers set off on the Grand Tour:
And here are a few shots of the walk, courtesy of Saucy Sous and Cash Converta:
Runners added a loop around the Eildon Hill Reservoir:
Back home, we set up under cover in case the rain returned, and enjoyed a feast of curry and pasta and salad, followed by dessert! Many thanks to hares Upstanding and Idle Vice!
It was great to welcome back Shockjock and Miss Demeanour after the really difficult few months that they have been experiencing, and to celebrate his birthday:
Down, downs for the birthday boy and someone with new shoes:
