In the past few days, temperatures have soared around the country to 38.1 degrees in Cambridge. While us here in the Yorkshire Dales weren’t quite that warm, we’ve hit the early 30s recently, resulting in some hot and sticky days. As you can see above, Mist, and Bracken before her, have always enjoyed a bit…

Hello all, Charlotte here. If you don’t remember me, I’ve been the subject of several blog posts and even climbed a few mountains in my time. The last time I made a foray on this blog was way back in 2013 where I talked about the process of teaching Mist agility, flyball and any number…

So far this year we have had snow, not sun (Mist’s least favourite), plenty of rain and a Mist in France holiday. For once Mist was allowed to come with us on an overseas trip and didn’t she love it. The Pet Passport worked smoothly and as we travelled and stayed in a mororhome heat…

Mist I am sure prefers winter walking to summer. She does enjoy the snowy dog walks (limited though it is) but also is completely unconcerned about a long muddy walk in the hills and valleys.

The weather has been lovely this summer with some really hot days. Mist had a tendency to become a bit hot and bothered on long days on the fells (although it did not stop her going) but loved cooling down in the rivers and lakes.

In the 2nd part of 2016 Mist has been on some great walks, mainly up the Dales 30 but also in the Lake District. Here is the 2nd part of her year in photos.

Mist is now 6 and as energetic as ever. She has thickened a little in girth since her early days (probably due to stealing packed lunches on walks) and enjoys resting at any stops.

Its about time the master got his act together. After weeks and weeks of complaining that it was too wet/too misty/too muddy we at last got out on a proper walk.

Handing over to Charlotte. Mist’s trick trainer! Taking Mist on a walk is high-quality entertainment. Stalking sheep is a must have, she slinks along a ditch, ears flat, never taking her eyes of them despite the fact that they don’t seem to be intimidated by her at all. She isn’t that great at catching balls…

This summer has been good fun so far, it could have been better but as always there has been too much doing nothing.

Its been a quiet few months for Mist, the summer promises to be busy though with trips to a variety of Scottish islands, the Coast to Coast with Debbie and the regular walking through Yorkshire and the Lake District. Here though are a few photos to keep you going! A winter trip up Pen y…

Mainly there are good days on the fells, sometimes they can be disappointing but every now and again you enjoy a particularly special day. Myself and Mist enjoyed one last week in near perfect Autumn conditions. We set off from Dungeon Ghyll, took on the Band and then returned via the Crinkles, a classic circuit but…
