Hope this will still be on, in view of recent bad weather. We are hoping to come along, but will check how Charlie is nearer to the time. He has mainly good days and seems to be still very energetic on his walks, but now and then his back legs get a little weak, possibly due to the recent cold wet weather playing his old injuries up

You might end up walking round the car park
Unfortunately we won't be there (going to a wedding open day at Hylands to see a table layout for our caterers and we wouldn't have been able to do both), but you'll be in Jan and Rob's capable hands
Hope Charlie is ok and we'll see you all soon!

Went to Hainault today. The usual route we take through the woods is VERY, VERY MUDDY. So we have had to change the
route as it is too slippery.If we can now meet in the FIRST CARPARK , not the usual second.We can walk around the lake
& then over the grassy bit, but you will need Wellies. We tried to keep the walk just under the hour, as parking fees are
£ 1.00 for an hour , or £ 3.00 all day. , nothing in between. You will need towels for the Dogs feet aswell
See you Sunday .
J & R.

Thank you Jan & rob for a lovely walk today. Charlie really enjoyed it, despite his screaming before we started. It is so lovely to be able to chat and get advice from others regarding Charlie's ailments. Thank you x

Any photos?
Maybe a walk for the summer time. Less chance of it being muddy!
