Mad Dogs

Pictures to follow

This weekend we decided to start our walk at Campbell Park and head on out towards Fenny Stratford. It was a bit overcast but not really cold so we packed all the waterproof gear in my pack and set off.

There are loads of houses along the canal that do not take adavantage of their lovely setting - is this because people don't actually like the canal or because they don't want nosy walkers looking in at them? There were a few houses that I would love to live in, with a nice deck outside to sit drinking tea and watching the boats go by.

We were keeping up a good pace and an hour into our walk when a huge black labrador who was playing with Neo, ran right into my leg. The dog caughts its shoulder bone just under my kneecap. It hurt so much that it actually made me cry. Chris could see it was really painful but he suggested we walk on to see if it would ease. I though we might as well as we'd still have had to walk an hour back to the car.

We carried on until we reached the outskirts of Fenny Stratfor - there's not much to say about this stretch apart from that it's covered in rubbish. It's such a shame. We reached home with my leg still really aching and a lovely black bruise brewing.
