We had a ‘get to know you’ social at the Cricket Inn, Dore and 5 of the new members turned up. Unfortunately the BBq was cancelled due to rain but we all managed to squeeze in around a big table inside.
The end of July walk was on a beautiful sunny day. We started at Shilito Woods car park, off the A621 Sheffield to Baslow road and crossed the open moors towards Owler Bar, the doubled back near Holmesfield and Fox lane through woodland. It was a great walk with lots of free running for the dogs except there were numerous gates which were locked! We had to lift the dogs over 2 of them as there were no stiles, including Cara an Estrela Mountain dog the size of a St Bernard! So that’s a black mark on our list of trialled walks.

( 3 / 1528 )We are to be joined by Clare Balding and Lucy Lunt from BBC radio 4 so they can do a piece on our Walking group for there Ramblers program. This is very exciting as with us being a new walking group in Sheffield it will help promote our responsible attitude to walking through the country side with our dogs and hopefully encourage other people to follow in our foot steps. Further news of when the broadcast will be aired to follow.
