SFLS Hankley Common Walk

Nothing tires a Lapphund out like a walk with other Lapphunds...


Today was the second monthly SFLS walk of the year, hosted by Liz Mowatt (of Tabanyaruu fame). The location is a "little used" army training area, although as we were to find out a sunny, but snowy Sunday in February is an ideal time for the Army to use it! About five minutes into the walk we were greeted by the sound of gun-fire in the distance! We came across a group of "soldiers" on their training, I say soldiers in inverted commas as they barely looked old enough to take their GCSEs!! Although that didn't stop some of the ladies amongst us getting a little hot under the collar!!! Luckily they don't use live rounds in that area so we were able to continue on our way. Think the soldiers were a little surprised to see so many people and so many dogs interrupting their exercise!!


As always Inko had a fantastic time with the other Lappies and on this occasion x1 Akita Inu, x3 German Spitz Kleins and x1 Lappie x German Spitz Klein.






After a great walk across the common, which still had plenty of snow, we were all invited back to Liz and Rory's new house for tea and cakes, followed by a lovely short walk through their woods :)



A very nice way to spend a Sunday...and means we've had a very nice and sleepy Inko all evening!
