Ennerdale/gillerthwaite & Beyond....

[FUJI 17,208]

Yesterday seen the sun shining for the best part,no rain for a change so loaded up the dogs & away we went,set off out the house at 11.30am & returned at 6.10pm,had a monster of a trek thankfully it was relatively easy walking,dogs had a blast of a time,wouldn't like to think how far we walked but the mileage would be into double figures lol...forecast rain,thunder,gales and all kinds today & tomorrow so we will have to see what & where we get to nearer the time?...1st time I've seen both pups giving me the deaf ear,three or four times they headed off following people with other dogs etc and totally blanked me,I knew it was coming lol,everything else is going grand,jump ANYTHING without hiccup,walk through livestock including lambs etc no problem..I guess I can't really complain?...

It was to catch Grey Squirrels or atleast that's what it said on the tag? I ain't ever seen a Grey up here in Cumbria but I guess they must be here? Aye it's mad keen for small game lol,just about haha...it'll hunt anything & yap like feck if it gets on to anything so just like a terrier really but without the bite lol..she enjoys being out with the big dogs,better then sitting on the sofa I suppose? It is a lovely area and you can walk for as long as your legs will take you without much hassle..won't be long until we venture back for sure..Atb Andy

Obviously at this time of year I ain't out looking and hunting for game I'm just trying to give my pups an education of the countryside but accidents are inevitable especially when I take any of my older seasoned dogs and only yesterday the cur x Don done just that..I could of done without the hassle of it to be honest but it's filled the freezer so it wasn't wasted..

A beautiful walk, and great sceenery, (((( as you know the deaf ear is there problem, especially on a Hot scent, it can be annoying at times,

Lovely area & cracking looking dogs & an interesting topic

Some stunning pics there as usual mate,

Interesting what you say about the grey squirrels. I was offered some permission in one of the valleys just up from coniston because they "had a problem with grey squirrels" never got round to going up there with the gun but I dont think I have ever seen one when I have been out in the same valley with the dogs

The groundwork is all but done,they are starting to switch on now,they know what's on the "menu" and what isn't (hopefully) ..pretty soon I'll know if the work I've put into them has been worth it?..Between myself & my old curs hopefully we've put them on the right path?..
