Thanks for organising the walk at Belhus today. Sorry we had to bale out part way round - I got a Mega Cramp in my toes and had to cut our walk short!
Looking forward to seeing what the final numbers were!
Debbie and Jack

As we were holidaying in Devon on the day of the GBGW this year we went on the Plymouth walk at Saltrum House. Only 23 dogs but a lovely venue (seemed a longer walk than our usual Brandon) and we were made very welcome.
Everybody was upbeat and enjoying the weather but unfortunately about a third of the way round the man walking just ahead of us suddenly collapsed. At first we thought he'd tripped and I went to help him up. He said that he felt funny and to leave him for a minute or two. By this time the walk leader was on the scene and we all realised it was more serious than just a fall. An ambulance was immediately called and fortunately one of the walkers was a nurse in A & E and so knew more than the rest of us about what to do in this situation.
After a few minutes it was suggested that the rest of carried on with the walk while the walk leader and nurse stayed with him until the ambulance arrived. Obviously this dampened the spirit for the remaider of the walk and the planned picnic afterwards was of course cancelled.
At the end of the walk, by which time he was in hospital, we heard that it was the the start of a heart attack and so we gave our email address to Henry, the walk leader, for updates now we're back home. He was a regular on the Plymouth walk and was talking to us and fussing Harley before the start so we would like to know how he's getting on.

Oh my goodness, that's very sad - we'll contact Henry also to see how things are and I'll message you his email address so you can get in touch
Does Henry still have Trooper?

I'm afraid Trooper went to Rainbow Bridge last year.
