Posted: Sun Mar 16, 2008 11:03 am Post subject: Farewell GT for me & Ozzie - Peak Dist - Sun20Apr 11am
G'day all,
Sorry I've not organised any GTs since January, I had my operation and am almost recovered... I say almost, I tried to do a proper walk yesterday and failed miserably so need to gather my strength back up after a few months of recuperation!!
Anyway, Ozzie and I are moving down south in a few weeks time so I wanted to organise 2 farewell GTs. I thought I'd have one close to home that everyone can come to, and then maybe one in the countryside which would be a proper walk (dogs over 1 year only).
The Proper Walk I'd like to suggest, if anyone wants to do it with us, is one I have been dying to do ever since I found out about it. I have been waiting for summer to come back, but I won't be living up here in summertime, so I need to do it in spring instead!!
It's a walk from a place called Milldale to a place called Dovedale. It's a walk that Roo posted about last year and the photos he posted were absolutely gorgeous - check them out in the original thread.
Anyway, I really want to do this walk, so Ozzie and I are going to go and do it on either Saturday 19th or Sunday 20th April. We'd love some company, I really really hope that some of you can make it, if you'd like to join us please post which day you would prefer to come.
Please note this will be a Proper Walk - it's 3 miles each way, total of 6 miles, so it's not suitable for dogs under 1 year or young children who aren't used to walking long distances. From what I can tell of the walk it is National Trust path the whole way so looks like it will be suitable for prams/wheelchairs if required.
Hope to see some of you there, if nobody else can make it then Ozzie and I will be doing it anyway

hi Ness,
Id love to do this, will have to do some digging to see if i can get there by public transport, but Like Wendy im helping out at a show on the 19th so would need to be the Sunday
Hi Ness,
Me and Max would be up for Dovedale walk. It's only down the road for me and Max has been pining to see lots of Labs again
I've voted for either day.
Glad the op went welll and the recovery is going OK
Hehehe Helen, I'm moving to Reading - but I have NFI where that is in relation to Hertfordshire, sorry!!! Will no doubt be organising some great long walks down south before too long, hopefully some of them will be near your place
Harriet, would be fab to see you again, but you need to get to a place called Milldale. We walk from Milldale to Dovedale then back again. Or, you could probably meet us at Dovedale halfway through and walk up to Milldale with us and then back by yourself? I don't know about public transport to Milldale, I am hiring a car National Trust website can probably help??
How are your driving lessons coming along?
I will come Ness but will have to cancel a trip out if its on the 20th. I see you have read my PM & I have tried to phone you. The footpath as far as I know isn't suitable for prams or wheelchairs between Milldale & Ilam but I will walk it anyway to make sure.
This is really local for me so if people can get to Buxton (train or Bus) i'd be happy give lifts to Dovedale and back. Only got a punto but happy to share
