*canal park update*

There's definitely chains and locks and a damaged part of fence. The main gate can swing open but has padlock on

For the moment I won't be using it at all for runarounds even though access can be gained.

Hoping to contact Highlife Highland today to confirm the status and availability etc

Thanks to everyone who reached out requesting the template letter of support for my planning application for a dog park. I'll be emailing this evening so if anyone else would like a copy of the template letter drop me a message with your email address 🐾

*RUNAROUND* SUNDAY 25TH AUGUST

I've been reading some comments on buy sell swap that canal parks are now padlocked and entry is being denied so runaround tomorrow will be either a beach around or a walk along canal.

I haven't confirmed the gates being locked but if true it's a massive blow for the local dog friendly community.

If anyone would like to support my planning application for a dog field that is currently under consideration with Highland Council, send me a message and I can offer you a template letter to read and sign.

Also making your local councillors aware that this application will be coming to the planning committee could help to ensure it's successful

Wax on, hopefully no wax off!

Vulpine Bikes now offers the Halo chain wax service.

Halo chain wax, a specific type of lubricant for bicycle chains, offers several benefits for cyclists. Here are some key advantages:

1. Enhanced Lubrication: Halo chain wax provides superior lubrication compared to traditional oils and greases. It reduces friction between the chain and gears, resulting in smoother and more efficient pedaling.

2. Cleanliness: Unlike conventional lubricants that can attract dirt and grime, chain waxes tend to repel dust and debris. This keeps the chain cleaner for longer, reducing the need for frequent cleaning.

3. Reduced Wear and Tear: By maintaining a clean and well-lubricated chain, Halo chain wax helps reduce wear and tear on the chain, sprockets, and derailleur components. This can extend the lifespan of these parts.

4. Improved Performance: A well-lubricated chain ensures better power transfer from the pedals to the wheels, enhancing overall bike performance. Cyclists can experience smoother gear shifts and more consistent performance in different riding conditions.

5. Rust Protection: Chain waxes typically provide a protective layer that helps prevent rust and corrosion. This is especially beneficial for cyclists who ride in wet or humid conditions.

6. Long-Lasting: Halo chain wax tends to have a longer-lasting effect than traditional lubricants. This means less frequent reapplication, saving time and reducing the amount of lubricant used over time.

7. Quiet Operation: Properly lubricated chains operate more quietly, reducing the noise often associated with a dry or poorly maintained chain.

8. Environmental Considerations: Some chain waxes are formulated to be environmentally friendly, with biodegradable ingredients that are less harmful to the environment compared to petroleum-based oils.

Overall, using Halo chain wax can lead to a better cycling experience, with improved efficiency, reduced maintenance needs, and longer-lasting components.

The service costs £20 per chain, which includes ultrasonic cleaning and the chain waxing process.

Wee run up to for some off lead runaround along the shared paths. Nev always wears her pitpat tracker for the days when her recall cue needs updated and I want a little peace of mind!

No run around tomorrow folks sorry.

It looks like the rugby clubs will be making greater use of canal parks while the rugby field awaits and then has some work done on it

If you fancy a group walk (on lead) I'll be leaving from the moorings car park at 9.30 and heading up the canal

Moocharound on as usual 🐾
