StridingEdge - Dog Daze!

Dog Daze! - June 2006

(formerly known as The Angus Diaries - now it's double trouble!)

We're heading for high summer and all is green in Lakeland and on some walks it is a struggle to find anything to drink or somewhere to cool off. These two can find something though, and it's usually muddy and smelly.

Casper passed his training class with flying colours and is already becoming used to the length of the walks and the varied terrain. Angus completed his round of the Wainwright 214 fells - an excellent achievement.

I hope you enjoy this month's selection from 'Dog Daze!', the out takes from the fellwalking Beardie duo.

A bit of a jumble with this Fleetwith Pike photo!

Infra-Red Casper.

Resting at every opportunity, it was so hot on High Crag.

Starting the descent from Red Pike, Casper gets that sliding feeling.

Angus, The Lion King, on Nab Scar looking over Rydal Water.

When you have a mud bath (as these two did on Nab Scar), what you need to do then is...

...roll in the grass... ...then have a s-t-r-e-t-c-h...

...and another roll... ...then see if anyone is looking!

At the end of the walk, you end up with baked on mud that is almost impossible to shift.

Dad took us to the River Duddon one day - a walk that never made it onto the website!

Weir on Tarn Beck.

It was a bit damp, but we like it here.

Fickle Steps (Fiddle Steps to locals!) are stepping stones that cross the River Duddon with a wire to hold on to.....Angus and Dad crossed on the stones, but I thought I would go the hard way, just to prove I do get into the water sometimes!
