Caryll,can you advise?

Only pointing this at you as you are local and will prob know where I mean,do you think Rutland water is to long to walk sid around?? P.s,if you don't know it I think it's about 16 miles! Obviously I would take my time and have a rest (at the pub)

At his age, as long as he's used to longish walks, you shouldn't have a problem. Take it easy though, and have a rest every so often, the scenery is beautiful & if you like birdwatching it's a paradise!

I don't remember a pub en route, but take a couple of cans with you!

I've ridden the full route a few times on my bike (20odd miles) and there is a pub,but yeh it's beautifull out there!

I must have missed the pub - very unlike me! I'll have to have a better look next time!

Pub, pub, someone mentioned a pub...where, I'm there...................

Nope!! He had about 20mins on the sofa when we got back,now he is running round with what is left of his tyre in his mouth shaking his head all over the place!!

Do they ever tire lol!!

Doesn't look like it!! I will Measure the route when I get to

No! Bandit used to go for really long walks on a sunday - either the city of London or Richmond Park etc, and we'd be gone for like 5 or 6 hours, solid walking. We'd get back, he'd sleep for about half an hour & then be ready to go again!

Blue is the same.
I remember I took him out for about 4 hours not long ago. Come back and put his lead on the side and went to the toilet. When I come out of the toilet I picked his lead up to put it away in his cupboard and he started going mad again thinking wohooo walkies. I thought are you having a laugh im shattered

I can never seem to wear Nero out by walking miles.. When we go to Wales onto the beaches, i always give him a few hours running up and down some rather large sand dunes, now that does usually finish him off for the day.

Yeh running gets sid too! When he goes out with his friend rupert they run non stop! And then sleep!!

My uncle used to have a standard poodle and when he took him for his evening walk the dog would stop at every pub & pull him inside. At least that's what he told my aunt.
