great north dog walk

Sure there was a post somewhere but can't find it at the moment...

Anyway is anyone going to the event on Sunday?

Looks like I may have comandeered my parents caravan for the weekend so in the process of finding a dog friendly campsite somwhere between north York's and south shields. If anyone has any recomendations of a cheap and cheerful place (near main roads as its my first time towing) it would be much appreciated

its not this sunday its next sunday and there are 2 caravan parks within 5 minutes walk of the event lizard lane caravan park (cheap) and sandhaven caravan park (nicer of the 2)

oooooo and yes i will be there

Yes the 9th sorry for the confusion my working week started today so tomorrow is effectively ignored I did find sandhaven just got to confirm dad has given the van the once over and will ring a few to see if they are still available

Aww I've just been looking it up, I would love to go it looks awesome.

We're going with 2 of our lot!

Im going but ive not got any sponsers. I didnt know if i was still going to be in newcastle so i didnt bother getting any. Anyone else not got any?

Great stuff , would love to have been coming up myself but not sure if we can make it (Didnt realise it was as close as next week), but we are now in family discussion about it as my Auntie is poorly in Co. Durham at the moment so would be great to get up and see her

Towing's easy Jules , just make sure its loaded correctly (with advice from your Dad) and take it nice and steady. It's the going backwards bit that is the difficult part . I did it for 3 years

If your Dad is a Caravan Club Member , there is a great basic site at Durham literally just off the Motorway at the A690

I've not got any sponsors was never sure if I could go

Just been checking out the caravan club website and lots of useful info that can be googled if needed possibly swaying to finding a site around York/Harrogate to break up the travelling

Sounds brill, you'll have a great time

i never bother getting sponsers i just donate myself so dont worry tomuch about that it wont be held against you .
its a great days walk and entertainment with tons and tons of freebies for the doggies

Keep trying! It will be so worth it!

Slightly too far for us to travel to but really hope you all have a great day

The weather is going to be good just saw it on local news

I'm not going to make it , we're all poorly sick in our house

also not going to make it now, didn't manage to get the caravan sorted in time to give it a trial run and its too far to do in a day

Hope so! Really pleased you all enjoyed it

i left my camera in the back of my car in the town center so no picks from me either
but we also had a great day even thou not anywhere near the amount of freebies this year ha ha .
plus had a word with tony (organizer)as there was a lack of water in the bowls on the route this year

Glad you had a great time, tutt tutt no pics next time

Glad you all had a great time. Not happy about the pic situation

Glad you all had a good day out

Shame we couldn't make it, did manage to hitch up and tow the caravan for the first time tho so plenty of time to prepare for next year

Glad you all had a great time I would like to try and go one year... looks like a good day out

We were all prepared to go then Shéara was up the night before being sick quite a lot, then sick again after a mini walk before we were to set off so we decided not to go. I think he was struggling with the heat.

Sounds like a really good day, maybe next year!

I was looking forward to some piks mind
