When this subject comes up I can never resist quoting this fine, fine passage which appears in "Mudges", from Neil Munro's Para Handy and Other Tales. :wink: "The Congo’s no’ to be compared wi’ the West o’ Scotland when ye come to insects,” said Para Handy. “There’s places here that’s...

That's a fine and important cautionary tale.

Cheers for sharing, and hope you're back to fitness sooner rather than later.

Donich Drop.jpg It's been a while since I was there, but if there's two grown ups I'm sure you'll be fine. The pair of us got Molly the, um, decidedly risk-averse labradoodle down it with little more than encouragement and gentle guiding. It looks far more dramatic than it is from that angle - in f...

It was a question. Have a go at answering it.

He barked at it, attempted to dig into it and also attempted to get into one of the storage nets

Really? What's the source for that?

Genuinely interested, btw.

Excellent. Cheers for sharing that.

I know I'll never get round them all, but if I could - all being equal - that'd probably be the way I'd choose.

The issue IMO was that having already breached the Covid-19 guidelines, they additionally then put other people at risk due to their deliberate additional actions. Constituting a further offence. Breaching the guidelines isn't an offence though. So the only thing they have done that was against the...

Dogs are all different of course, but I suspect the going to sleep thing will, um, settle down as she gets a wee bit older. I'd definitely practice in the garden, and then maybe a bit further afield - for the weather conditions if nothing else. Me & Jorja (the Wee Black Dug) had a few successful...

Cheers for the heads up.

It's a postcode lottery at the moment whether the police stop you and send you home for driving to go for a walk. I was very against it until yesterday when I went a short walk from my house and found it impossible to avoid people. People walking everywhere on once deserted roads. Several times I h...

As mentioned earlier by Paul, there is Cabinet Office advice but the up to date version... https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-advice-for-people-with-animals ...doesn't specifically address the "driving to a quieter area" issue. What it does say is: "You may leave your ho...

Apparently the UK cabinet office has told the Guardian that you can drive nearby to go for a walk (which should cover England). So still conflicting advice. We've tried to contact Police Scotland but others are saying they've been told its not a police decision / matter. Sorry, was hoping to bring ...

https://www.itv.com/news/westcountry/2020-03-26/police-ban-driving-anywhere-to-walk-your-dog-or-exercise/ Fair enough, I suppose. For the last 13 years I've been sticking the (assorted, and some now departed) mutts into the car at aboot 6:45am and driving the 10 minutes to the grounds/woods of Both...

I referred to this link: https://www.scottishmountainrescue.org/scottish-government-statement-for-the-outdoor-community/ in a reply to the "C Word" topic earlier, but it's fairly...blunt, so maybe deserves a heading of it's own... "All travelling to the hills stops now for all of us. ...
