Oooohhh no!!!! We were in the visitors centre car park til almost 25past...what time did you arrive? So sorry, just the dogs were all getting antsy and so we started off. A few people stayed behind for SLB who'd gone to the wrong place/...looks like you must've just missed them. So sorry you couldn't find us... you must've just been in the wrong place slightly I feel awful

Evening All, great pics , I didnt get many, didnt get my camera out of the bag till later on ,glad everyone seemed to enjoy the walk and was lovely to see all the doggies for real !

Thanks to all the helping hands with Bella , it was much appreciated and Tom did ever so well on the walk , the best he has been in a really challenging situation for him , thanks for your support with that .

So the question is , 'When and Where is the next one ! ? '

Well we arrived, slightly late I had unexpected visitors before I left. However that then meant we missed almost all of you...but it is a massive place, and I have only previously met Steph and searched the horizon for BC and small JR. I should have checked which route you were taking or got a mobile number.

However we tried to find you all, asking if people had seen a group of dog walkers, after following up a couple of abortive leads and being well and truly side tracked by some helpful information about a large group (which turned out to be a rambling group not dog walking group) .
I went back to plan one "diving" on poor unsuspecting people all over the chase asking "are you on the dogsey walk" getting blank looks we finally decided to split our resources, well Dave (OH)just really decided I was being a maniac and he said splitting resources may save time but I don’t think he asked anyone
we kinda went different routes but nothing, so we decided to walk, so returned to the car and had a quick drink and set off, I had to pop to the loo first, while Dave set off on another quick jog with Sal after a tip off. Getting more like James Bond every moment While I
made my way from the Loo by car park back the car with the flask etc I had pretty much given up. When I spotted a Bassett hound and a CKCS and after a little hesitation I decided to ask and risk yet another rejection however Joy of joys I had found Faye, Dutch, two men and a lovely CKC S. Who confirmed they were part of the walk and pointed in the direction that the group was in. At this point I apologise Faye for seeming like a bit of an idiot. I had approached so many people I was losing heart.
So I mustered the forces recalled Dave who was semi convinced you had all gone the other way the way the bikes go and had jogged over to check it out.
And we set off I never found any of you. I am sorry but we had a lovely day. But glad you had a great time. Maybe next time.

Kazz , so sorry you missed us , lesson learned for next time , maybe confirm by PM definitely who is coming and keep a list , do a roll call, swap some mobile numbers , plan the route etc ! and tbh I should have been clearer about meeting in the carpark opp the cafe. Glad you still had a lovely day

I cant believe Jed had a face on him today! Out of all of my dogs I thought he would be ecstatic to have lots of doggy friends to play with but I dont think he showed any interest, he was even more antisocial than I was! I thought Flynn did quite well considering the amount of dogs there were and his showing off and gobbiness wasnt too bad neither.

I see all the pictures of me dont show my face...Thats years of practice at dodging photos that is! Mind you, my backside is probably the best angle anyway.

It was nice to meet you all, put names to faces etc.

Very proud of my boy today.
RUSSELL has never been so well behaved!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice to meet you all.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
