I’m changing jobs, so to help me get into the right frame of mind, we all went to the Lake District for a few days. We stayed in Backbarrow, right by the one of the weirs on the river Leven.
We only had to cross the lane to pick up footpaths in the National Park, though my map reading skills were challenged by the light dusting of snow and at least once I realised we were following a deer trail … any actual deer must have been a long way away, but I had him on lead until I was sure. Meantime I discovered Jake loves to gobble up deer poo. Blurgh!
It was ironic that I took my agility shoes OUT of the car before we left Edinburgh, forgetting that they are fell-running shoes by design, and so would have been by far the best footwear …

That looks like a really KOOL place! I’d love to run around in there like a wild doggy!Butt sniffs,Solid Gold Dancer
It was sooo beautiful (and sooo cold).
I don’t mind if Penny eats poo from herbivores (like possums). I’ve heard it’s good for dogs. A bit gross, I suppose. But deer poo sounds sort of romantic (to an Aussie).
