    I had a couple days off this weekend so decided to go up to the lakes with the saluki pup for some bonding and a bit of leg strengthening ! We arrived in patterdale , and it was sheeting down , so we donned our waterproofs and heeded up the route towards helvellyn . Pass the hunt kennels And on upto striding edge I made a makeshift harness for her out of slings And off we set over striding edge Now I've done this with a terrier I used to have many times, but with bad visibility , wet rock , a gangly adolescent saluki pup ,who is becoming increasingly panicky it's a d

    we were never indoors , the only time you went home was to make a quick jam butty to keep the energy up ! looking back there was not many fat kids, everyone was skin and bone . sailing down the river on polystyrene rafts ,raiding the popmans van , stealing car radios using a bit of sparkplug on a string to smash the windows ,home gokarts,making ramps and seeing how many people you could jump on the bike !great days

    I have a 22tts 40lbish and also a 19tts 30 odd lb dog , , they both robust and can take knocks , the smaller one is much quicker and better in and around cover , also quicker off the mark when ferreting . I much prefer the faster action running style of the smaller one .not noticed much difference in stamina , they all shiver when cold and wet .And if a got another , I'd be wanting one of a similar stamp of the smaller one.

    why ideation ? apart from maybe retrieving easier .

    imo height and size in a whippet is irrelevant .it should be well bred for work and be robust , but the most important thing is its heart ,and attitude.

    I took advantage of the cooler weather yesterday morning and took the dogs to the infamous pendle hill , for those that of never heard of it , it's the area the accused lancashire witches lived in the 17th century pendle witch trails . They were marched to Lancaster castle , stood trail and hung . It must be a bit of a hotspot , cos I'd only just started walking when a farmer came over on his quad and said "thas not be chasing hares with them dogs will ya lad "? Here's a few photos , cheers for looking.

    I wouldnt worry about actual speed as each dog is different , for a hard work out , I try and keep them at a nice racing trot .

    The pup caught her 1st last night on our evening walk , she was 7 month on Sunday . What I was most pleased about was the way she took it , it was proper shifting on the cricket pitch and she took it in style! I was well chuffed !

    We had a great day on penistone hill just outside Howarth , electric atmosphere !! Some of the riders were saying on tv that it was easily the best start to the race in the tours history ! Well done yorkshire .

    Everyone knew he was taking stuff , but still avoided getting caught for over 20 years , evening tho he was the most drug tested man on the planet . If you look at the top 20 fastest times up alpe huez , all apart from one have been done now for doping . It was a case of either you doped like the rest or forget it . He has raised millions for charity tho.

    You can get dentists plaque scrapers on eBay for a few quid mate , he prob not like it at 1st tho . Once you get on top of it the bones should keep the majority of the plaque off. Atb .

It passes through Bolton abbey , grassington ,kettlewell,yorkshire 3peaks area , dent , sedbergh , then on to Windermere.
