Tara:

Auntie Jane couldn't meet us today. :( but it meant we could go for a big Pack Walk with Dad and Mum.  And at least we got the sausages first this time!

This is me sitting waiting for my sausage.  I have Bed Head, cos Dad rushed us out really early before Mum could do my hair.  Mum says I still look cute though.  I am sitting on the table bench.  Hahaha! I hopped up when we were waiting for Dad to fetch his food, and no one told me to get down!  lol.

This is when we got there.  Everything woz wet, cos of the rain last night.  So it woz lovely and sniffy.  We wanted Mum and Dad to hurry up so we could have adventures.

Cato was naughty!  He wasn't supposed to be off lead, or to go and annoy the plants.  I wanted to be naughty too, but Dad wouldn't let me.

This is when the bench ate my foots.

Runners get everywhere!!!

Dad played a trick on me!  He pretended we were going to walk up the hill, so I ran past him and on and on and on until I got stuck, then I slipped a bit, then I had to come down.  There aren't any pics cos Mum was laughing to hard and they woz all blurry.  Cato didn't get higher than the big tree, but I did!  Hahaha!

I love bridges

Sniffy!

Another bridge.  I went all the way across this one, by myself!

That is Heidi and her Dad.  When we first saw them, she was rootling through the undergrowth, and her Dad was calling and calling and she was ignoring and ignoring.  The next time we saw them, she was on the lead. :(

Cato:

This was the mountaineering bit.  Mum said it is good training for our holiday.

Hubbards%20Hills%20036_zps4hqpypkf.jpg

I stayed with Mum and Dad, but Tara just went up and up and up.

When we got to the top, we had a drink and sit down.  That is the golf course behind Dad.

This is how high and steep it was.  I stayed safe and was sensible.  Cos of my big bones and altitood and stuff.  But Tara was jazzing about and bouncing a lot.  After she jumped me, and nearly rolled me over the edge, Mum stepped in and told her off, and threatened her with the lead.  She was better after that.  I love Tara but she is very silly.

Mum says that there are no flowers now, but this tree is AMAZING and so big and old.

Hubbards%20Hills%20051_zps2quj42ep.jpg

It was a very long trek back.  I did a poo at the top of the slope, and Mum said shall we see how far it rolls!  It was funny.  It looked like a sausage with leaves stuck on!  In the end it hit a tree and bounced out of sight.  Dad said that Mum should grow up and we should collect up poos and put them in bins.  Mum said that there was no way she was going to break her neck fetching a poo on a cliff face.  Dad said Mum was exaggerating.  Mum said Dad was free to go abseiling for the poo if he wanted.  Then we walked on.

Wot is abseiling?

This is the little cafe.  Mum had water cos they didn't have any decaf anything.  Dad had coffee and we had dogbiscuits that Mum had in The Bag.  There was a little girl there that we wanted to see, but her parents kept her away. :(  Probably because Tara had dirt and leaves in her hair.  She is a hooligan.

See the hillside?  We walked along the top of that.  I did my poo up there.  Do you think it rolled all the way down and went sploosh in the water?  It might have hit a duck!  I wish I had seen it hitting a duck!

And then we came home.

Is that a new park walk Jo? .. Don't reconize it but it's absolutely stunning. The arty picture after the roll of logs down the hill with the naked tree limbs...Fab Picture! Well Done!

Love this walk the best out of all the parks...the hills, bridges, trees...Awww I just love that place.

Tara and Cato pictures are beautiful as ever and I had a good laugh throughout...Still chuckle to myself over the visions of a new Olympic shot....Poo Log Roll :clap: 

Thanks guys for making me laugh so much

Mum:   Thank you all for your lovely comments! :)

@beebalm thank you! I showed Dad your comment, and he blushed. :)

@Amy0515 there are a surprising number of Tara's benches around that like eating her foots.  It never seems to stop her jumping onto them though... :roflmao:

@PipsMom this is the park we went to for Mother's Day.  We love it!  But only get there on special occasions, because it is 15 miles of winding, slow country roads.  It is very popular, too.  So we tend to avoid school holidays.  We risked it today, by getting there early.  The kids go back to school tomorrow, so we figured their parents would have better things to do than getting in out way.  Lol.

@Marlene this is abseiling https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abseiling

i showed the link to Cato, and he didn't like it AT ALL!
