Bimble in the Woods with the dog.

Hi ho, hi ho it's off to the woods we go!
Pandora and I went out for the morning today, it was a definitely hot experience and we met quite a few other people on the trail, we normally don't meet anyone! Well, Pan had to stay on the lead for most of the time, but she was still tired out and is lay in her bed, snoring as I type this.

I would probably do this walk again, but most likely would try to get over to the other side of the valley, it just looked really nice and I want to explore there.

Anyway, on to the pics

Good view coming down from the top of the hill.



My new cheap Karrimor pack, it's not too bad and as it was only £12 it's a bargain. The side pockets do hold two 1.5L water bottles and the straps aren't too bad.


Sat down to admire the view from some shade.

Yes, it was that HOT!!!



Don't know why this Badger was dead, we weren't near any roads or fields, natural causes?
I was going to try and take the skull, but it wasn't pleasant and it kinda stank to high heaven


You can't really tell from the picture, but this gradient was 18deg. It was a




Getting back to civilisation...


Autumn is coming!

Lovely part of the country up there, used to walk loads along the Hfds/Shropshire border........lovely looking hound you've got with you :-

Thanks for the story and the pictures, I enjoyed them.

I can imagine the smell of that badger. I once found a badger that was a whole lot less rotten than the one you have there, and that one reeked a lot already.

Nice pics there


I think that's the same karrimor pack I bought for my missus to use for work last year
Sorry to say it started falling to bits after a couple of months

It was a lovely walk, a bit of a shame about the weather, me being Ginger 😄 but it was a good morning 😁

not much greater simple pleasure than talking a walk in the country with a trusty companion on a nice summers day!
