We've stopped at a few hotels up there. Most places don't seem to like dogs in the breakfast room. Keswick Country House was quite strict on dogs being left unattended (at least on paper) but diodn't do much to enforce it as many guests ignored the rule. The Britannia Inn (Elterwater) and...

Hooray! Holly has just done a celebratory lap of the living room.

She'll be doing pawtographs at SW walks over the summer. It's given me a crazy idea. The lady who runs our local bookshop might be up to a pawtograph 'meet the author' session. I'll see if she's up for it next time I'm in.

Cassie was the first one to try the Crabtree Hill walk. Her pawprints can be found all over that chapter!

I'm pleased to announce that the second book in the Holly's Walks series was released to Amazon about five minutes ago. It should be appearing on the Amazon website in a few days time. Book one described our favourite dog walks in the Wye Valley. Book two took us east into the Forest of Dean...

Welcome from Holly and me in Monmouthshire. Presley looks very sensible, but Booomer looks as if he's full of energy!

The force is strong with this one.......

Holly will take all the exercise we can give her. Normally I walk her after breakfast and come home for lunch. A normal walk is 5-7 miles, 2-3 hours with stops for play and training. I crawl back to the car exhausted, she bounces back to the car ready to do it all over again.

Hi, and welcome from Holly and me in Wales. Five years into my third Labrador I sometimes wonder who's training who :rofl::rofl:

There seem to be a few outdoors places in the county, for example Cotswold Outdoors has a shop in Droitwich. Failing that you could always look online.

Any outdoors shop should stock Nikwax products. Millets is usually cheapest.

Soap clogs the breathable membrane. The Nikwax cleaner will unblock the holes so it can breathe again. The proofing agent restores the finish so that water forms droplets and runs off instead of soaking in. Nikwax isn't cheap, but a bottle of each will do all of our waterproofs and lasts for...

I like my Cornice too, especially its length.

OH and I do a lot of walking and have several waterproofs. For light showers and warm weather Goretex Packlite jackets are wonderful. They're lightweight, easy to pack, dry quickly, breathable and shed water well. For heavy drizzle and continuous light rain any mid-price breathable jacket...

Holly's always pretty chilled out. She has made moments from time to time, but I'd never describe her as hyper.

I see dog owners walking their dogs from the bike most days. It's very common in the Forest. Many of the dogs look as if they're not enjoying it. They don't get time to do doggy things on their 'walk' but just have to trot along beside the bike. If they stop to say hello to Holly they have...

I took mum and dad for a nice walk today. We've had wet stuff from the sky and my wallows are very squishy. I got very muddy so they took me for a swim. Then we found blackberries and poop to eat. We found some people on bike things who had stopped for a picnic so I offered to help them but...

Oh good. Conwoll was great fun last time and id hate to be left at home.

We're going in hollyday next munf to conwoll. Dad says that conwoll is full and they're not taking any more dogs. Is this true?

Don't worry Stanley, Hollydays are great. I get lots of walks, we go to pubs, and I always eat too much. Make sure your peeple take you on hollyday with them.
