just over a month to go......

The countdown has begun, with less than 6 weeks to go, here is a quick update on the training that has been going on.
Last weekend was the Marbury beagle walk which was attended by many many many mad beagle owners and their beagles. Organised by Dawn Briggs who managed to raise an incredible £2500+ for Beagle Welfare.
The fab 4 were at large for a bit of impromptu training, and fooling around by the looks of things

I think it must have been a bit chilly judging by Kenny's headgear! ...just in Kenny has just told me that this is the latest in "anti midgeeeeeee head gear and is a must!

Individually, the girls have been more "active" than the boys. Clare C has had a very busy time getting in lots of training over the last few days.

This must have been Clare working out her walking strategy and just planning her signing repertoire for the 5 days.

On the other hand this was Claire B on a walk of about 6 miles with all three of her beagles but I think Alfie must have found his own way home, as at this point Claire was lost having to use her phone to work out where she was in this picture.

It does not bode well for the WHW walk, as these were field where Claire grew up and played as a child. Thank heavens Kenny and Neil will be on hand to do the navigational work, lucky for claire that she had the Iphone map app, as she got stung and walked through rape fields enroute!

At least stinging nettles are good for the circulation if you do get stung!
Looks like you can have senior moments in your 30's now.

Training for me last week was lacking, we did get to the beach for Alfie and Freddie to do their bit for the environment eating everyone's rubbish

Then Alfie tried his best to get some paddling in, but since they were on a split lead and Freddie detests the water, he was having none of that!

On arrival home after this walk, I found the we had no power and then had to wait in for a power man to come round and check things out, so didn't get any really long walks in last weekend.
