The next beginners canicross course starts in 3 weeks ran by Louise

🌞•23/08/24• Friday's adventure was with Rodney, Benson, Elvis, Brock & Dylan🌞

🏆4.55 MILE 🏆Garmin average conditions: 16°c 12mph🌬️
Our WBGT location reading max:16.6°c🌤humidity 45.2%, 20.9°c feels like🌡

Today's excursion was a little blustery to start, with a cool 12mph wind it meant the temperature remained lower even out in the peak sunshine. So perfect dog walking temperatures for all.

The boys all enjoyed their 90 minutes excursion, with plenty of sniffs and smells along the way, they passed distractions well, especially the tractor in the fields and a lovely lady with a retriever who we've seen on several occasions, always calling her dog in close and waiting in a lovely sit until we passed.

Near the start of the walk we did see what looked like some sort of surveyor, with a map of the first field and boundaries, taking lots of photos. It's sad that so much agricultural land is disappearing or being put up for sale. Our routes are constantly changing due to things like this, we do spend most of our weekends recceing new routes or alternative paths with our own dogs to make sure they are suitable for the various dogs we take care of.

2️⃣•22/08/24• Thursday's second adventure was with Zero, Ned, Reggie, Rodney & Milo2️⃣

🏆4.76 MILE 🏆Garmin average conditions: 19°c 15mph🌬️
Our WBGT location reading max:19.1°c🌤humidity 54.1%, 23.7°c feels like🌡

For the second excursion the weather apps were all still stating 70-80% chance of rain, so even though it was super muggy feeling I kept my coat on incase 🤣 big mistake, it literally rained for all of 10 mins and I was sweating my tit's off 😅

The 5 strong Thursday clan are all very similar in age and energy levels, they all love canicross, so near the start we let them have a little go, I did attempt a run with my team, but unfortunately it was just too painful in my neck/back where I currently have an injury, so Euan rose to the challenge and ran all 5 together. They flew up the trail, storming passed me, all of them so focused on what they were doing ❤️
The rest of the walk we kept a steadier pace due to the humidity/temp combination making it feel muggy, that didn't stop us all having lots of fun though, Euan kept them all thoroughly entertained

1️⃣•22/08/24• Thursday's first adventure was with Elvis, Bayley, Laddie, Benny, Ash & Benji1️⃣

🏆 4.87 MILE 🏆

Rapid blog!
A blustery overcast start! The anticipated rain never came.. meaning the strong breeze was a welcomed aid that favoured the clan's cracking pace.
No issues, the usual enthusiastic start followed by lots of focus to crunch miles, the clan mingled well especially Elvis who did really well socialising today! Zero foot traffic.

2️⃣•21/08/24• Wednesday's second adventure was with Milo, Ozzy, Maddie & Jenson2️⃣

🏆4.77 MILE 🏆Garmin average conditions: 17°c 9mph🌬️
Our WBGT location reading max:15.8°c🌤humidity 47.6%, 20.3°c feels like

Today we welcomed back Ozzy 🥰 after 6 weeks off on his holidays, he was very excited to be back out with us. Euan walked him with Milo as they are our usual Wednesday clan members. He focused really well on the trails, following direction and loved having a run with his pal Milo who is always game for some canicross when safe to do so.

I took charge of the housemates, Maddie seemed a little less skittish today compared to last week, she showed us all the best sniffs and had quite the tail wag going on. Both of them joined Euan for a little run right at the start, then settled into a steady pace, although Jenson did pull occasionally when he heard or spotted the birds 🤯 Unfortunately after half way, Jenson had an intermittent skip with his back leg, so I  slowed him down and kept him a bit calmer to get back to the van, although the limp seemed to vanish entirely whenever he spotted birds again 😅

There was no issues, we passed 2 other dog walkers, 1 called her dog close and the dog ignored us all 👍it's great to see an offlead dog with control and good etiquette. The next popped all 3 dogs back on lead, so they didn't bother us , but I was gobsmacked that he had them off in the SAME field as the livestock (cows) yes they may have been a bit further down, but that's no excuse to let them off to run around in a field of cows. They also left bagged up 💩 on the trail, I'm guessing to collect on their way back, which could cause issues for the cows or calfs if they were to go over and eat them, just carry it! It's just very disrespectful of the farmers land, it's great that in the UK we have the pleasure of using all this farmland and them allowing public footpaths, just don't ruin it for everyone with your careless attitude.

1️⃣•21/08/24• Wednesday's first adventure was with Elvis, Bayley, Ben, Maisie & Benson1️⃣

🏆 4.75 MILE 🏆

Garmin average conditions: 13°c🌡️☀️5mph🌬️

A beautiful start to the day, great conditions for the most part☝️however it was warmer on some segments, matching the second walks average feels like of 20.3°c (yes more humidity) which did have a noticeable effect on the brachycephalic clan members. Kinda wish I'd put on my waterproof socks for that fresh dew.. but hey-ho-fe-ck it more money for the chiropodist! 
The gathering made for a super mix of lurchers and bulls, the group was very focused on the loop, engaging and passed multiple distractions spot on. We bumped into lots of like minded walkers, even passing a young lad with excellent control over his lab (bonus points for picking up after his dog too)👍

Elvis was more sprightly than usual, keeping pace with his lurcher pals and following direction really well, as for the others Ben was less 'shouty' but like Maisie and Bayley eager to engage really well with all, Benson followed suit ..whilst retaining his usual stoic bad-ass tough dawg surveying of the rural landscape with every stop. Zero issues, great milage and lots of praise for some well behaved dawgs.

Unfortunately no Jasper today, an exciting time for his family, we hope everything is on course and that Emily's home before she knows it, much love!

🧭•20/08/24• Tuesdays adventure was with Rodney, Elvis, Luna, Ned, Lottie, Zero & Stella🧭

🏆 4.63 MILE 🏆
Garmin average conditions: 18°c 9mph🌬️
Our Wbgt location reading max: 18.1°c🌡️66.3%💦 21.2°c feels like.

Ah yes that broken record of "unreliable weather apps" and turbulent climate change gloom, the collection maelstrom continued for the majority of the walk.. then easing off post walk washing the dogs off back at the van😂 before blue skies
Euan had originally intended to take Elvis out bright'n'early but there was space in the van, so he tagged along with Tuesdays clan.

Luna was full of enthusiasm today pulling up front for most of the route, wagging her tail as she went, whilst Ned and Stella took it in turns to join her or walk to heel beside Elvis and I. Considering none of my group like the rain at all they all focused well and only spent minimal time attempting to shake off the rain 🤣
Euan's team didn't seem bothered by the rain in the slightest, Lottie enjoyed stomping through every puddle, whilst Rodney and Zero wagged their way through the trails.

The rain seemed to put off all the offlead 'my dog is friendly' crew, so we didn't bump into any.. in fact other than the old boys who up keep the woods, we didn't see a single soul it was bliss 🥰
