Quite an interesting year so far !

 Hi,

I'm having a great time this year with a lot of walking as well as some cycling! I have been for beach walks and hill walks as well as train and bus rides. I have been to Liverpool on the train and Chester on the bus, the city trips are very different to my country adventures, a whole lot of different smells.

Waiting for my train.

As usual a lot of my time is spent in Eryri and in particular Gwynedd county. My humans are quite considerate and generally only go out with me for long walks when the weather is dry so even early in the year I get to go out on lovely days, just look at the blue sky in the photograph below taken at Aber Gwenwyn-feirch.

A large number of my walks have been around the Mawddach estuary which often involves a bus trip to or from Dolgellau or Barmouth 

 Barmouth beach and the view

I've also spent some fantastic days (and a couple of nights) at doggy day care, I love this as I get to meet doggy friends and have a great time scampering around with my new friends and lovely humans. I went on a super new walk called the Precipice Walk, it's near Llanfachreth on the Nannau Estate and has brilliant view towards Cadair Idris and over the Mawddach. 

Spectacular views of the Mawddach (above) and 
the whole of the Cadair ridge (below).

My most recent scamper was a trip to the Mawddach Trail with my humans on bikes, so I did go cycling in a way although I didn't actually ride a bike. My humans bought a special back-pac for me last year and I think their idea was that they would carry me in it while they cycled. Well, they tried it, however I made it quite clear that despite my advancing years I wanted to jog alongside the bikes. I had to jog quite slowly so that the humans could keep up and they managed to keep up so we had a lovely couple of hours.

The back-pac is the red one on the table.

A little bit of rock climbing !

Wags and woofs,
