Following on from yesterday’s long walks, I let the dogs off lightly with only a couple of miles each around the local streets. In the afternoon, and a Sunday afternoon at that, I arranged with Sue to walk walk to The Griffin from where she would meet me with the car. After all the recent …

Soggy Doggy
This post was going to be titled Dennis after the storm that blew through over the weekend. The dogs didn’t have their early morning walkies this morning but were dragged out into the teeth of a gale this afternoon. Misty was first out of the gate and we took a stroll towards Water Orton. I …

Tunnels
Yesterday, I dropped my car off at the garage and walked the five and a bit miles home. Today, after the car had sailed through it’s MOT, I had to walk from work to near Spaghetti Junction to pick up said vehicle after work. The shortest route would have been through Nechells and down Long …

Lots of (Little) Walks
Looking at today’s endomondo anyone would think that I’d spent the day walking. Let me explain … The first two walks were with the dogs, first thing, before going to work. The dogs will, sort of, walk together but it’s a lot easier if walked separately. The walks were of two miles each, firstly with …

2020 ?
What will the new year bring? A question asked by many as each year draws to a close. 2019 didn’t quite go to plan but the addition of a couple of pooches made the later part interesting! Highlights of 2019 (apart from Gabby and Misty) included … A Coventry Way Charnwood Marathon Rotary Walk Across …

Separately, Together
Change of plan. I got home from work but didn’t go walkies straight away as I had a couple of little tasks to do around the house. When the other half came home from work, the dogs already had their harnesses on and Sue asked if we were coming or going. “I thought that we’d …

Update
The mileage is still, slowly, creeping up. No run for a while now. Sue ( the other half ) is still not walking Misty but, at least, sometimes will look after one hound while I take the other out. Both Dogs are suffering with Separation Anxiety and don’t like being left behind. I have recently …

Training
A month or so ago, my weekly mileages were slowly creeping up with Gabby accompanying me on most outings. Getting another dog, I was expecting the mileage to shoot up but the exact opposite has occurred. The main reason is that Dog2 (Misty) is only around eight months old so I need to take it …

Batteries and Boozer
Wednesday was to have been a longish walk to Hams Hall and back which would have included a fair few unlit tracks. With this in mind, I put freshly recharged batteries into my head torch. As I inserted the final battery, the torch gave one short flash to indicate that the batteries had been put …

Rest and the Rest
Following a busy weekend of parkrun and a long walk we forced ourselves to a rest day on Monday. On Tuesday, I woke at five and felt as though I couldn’t go back to the land of nod so got dressed and prepared Gabby for an early morning walk. The first half mile was along …
