Hurray we had lots of dogs walking out, and welcomed new ones along

Boo, the water mist descended just before the walk started

Hurray, visitor centre cafe was open and the hot chocolate was delicious

Boo, thought it was a GreyhoundPLUS walk (it's been a very busy week and I think I lost the plot!) and I took Millie with me

Hurray, next walk is at Felixstowe and it is a GreyhoundPLUS so Millie can officially go

I don't think anyone was too worried that Millie was there.

It was David's first visit to Alton Water and he really enjoyed it

Might be able to talk him into doing this one again!
