HUCKING

Sunday 2nd January 2010

After being unable to meet for training due to the bad weather conditions recently, it was good to be able to meet at The Hook and Hatchet on Saturday 2 January.
There was a good turn out as usual with 32 dogs and around 35 walkers and it was good to see some new members joining us for their dogs’ first club walk.

The day was perfect for walking with the sun shining, snow on the fields and the mud frozen enough to walk on without sinking!!  We set off at 10.30 walking the route in reverse for a change.  We quickly arrived in the first open field where the dogs were let off.  Clearly there was some energy to spare and they all had a really good run, but all were very well behaved.

We headed through the woodlands paths in crocodile fashion with the young lively dogs taking the lead and the older dogs bringing up the rear.  A few dogs had fun on the frozen ponds, cracking the ice and playing in the freezing water, but others stayed well away!

A young boxer on his first walk with the club got a little over excited and found himself separated from the group, but after splitting up to search for him, he was quickly found and none the worse for his little adventure.

We arrived back at the Hook and Hatchet at 12.30 but decided that the garden was not as inviting in these temperatures, so we piled into the pub instead for a welcome drink.

Webmaster note: Thanks to Su (Good) for the report and Ian (Astley) for the photos.
