A dodgy Derbyshire Dales day with da dog .

Kids are back in school and ive got the day off so what shall i do?

The sun is shining and the dog is giving me that look.

So he's riding shotgun with his head stuck out the window at 50mph all the way.

A few pics...

Was up in these parts a couple of years back and nearly died of dehydration, today was the opposite.

Onward and upwards, spot the dog anyone?

The ruddy North face, at this point hailstones were bouncing of my unprotected scalp and stinging like hell .

The End

Brings back memories been up there quite a few time used to be part of the Sunday afternoon hangover cure.Good walk followed by a few pints no far from the Blue John Cavern and a few other tourist attractions in that area.

Good stuff, Chitty. I have been to Derby and have relatives that live there. It is a beautiful area and lots of great pubs as well!
Enjoy your walk and cute doggy!

Cleared a few cobwebs away myself today.

Thanks, be sure to call at Chez Chitty next time you're in this neck of the woods:)

Memories of my Border Collie out in those dales. She would cover twice the distance we walked, investigating every nook and cranny, enjoying the freedom of the dales. We would get home knackered but happy around 5 pm, and at six, the dog would be champing at the bit for her evening walk.

Nice memories, thanks Chitty. :)

Their energy is relentless, mine can run at 30mph all day and not break a sweet.
Fantastic dogs!
