Dog Daze! - July 2010

We have had drought and floods all together in one month during July, how odd the weather is. No sooner did the hosepipe begin than the rain started and it has never stopped since. No worrying about any of the for the intrepid duo though, they carry on wandering the fells regardless of all else and I hope you enjoy this latest in the series of misfits and out take photos from the diaries of the Dog Daze!

'Pheep, here Dad'. In a strange role reversal, Dougal whistles me.

'You schee, my tongue isch very long and I can't keep it in'.

'Eek, definitely not that way Dougal!!'.

'That drought's getting a bit much, I'm sure Coniston Water used to be bigger than this'.

'I love to chew rock'.

Was that a bit deeper than you expected Casper?

A dip in Broughton Tarn, from a walk that didn't make it onto the site.

The boys have great fun sliding back down the scree slope.

Dougal has another go at sliding on top of Dow Crag, Casper seems to have found the coolest place to sit.

'Shiver me timbers'.

'Ohh, I'm gonna get you, tail!'

'...and for my next trick, I can balance a piece of grass on my nose for hours.'

Knocked for six by an invisible force.

'Oh no, Dougal...l-l-look w-what's c-c-coming'.

From the Keswick reminder, something I couldn't have written better myself...

Lots of Calendars and StridingEdge wristbands have been despatched this month, look out for the distinctive bands on wrists and rucksacks all over the fells.
