Busy couple of weeks

Kaz and me have been continuing to help Kath and Mara train.  They are doing really well now and we had a lovely Sunday



We came back and Daryl made a gingerbread house - here it is - me and the other dogs supervised it! We didnt get any though...... :-(

Well - what a couple of weeks it's been - me and Kaz have been on an epic callout the other night in really bad weather - there were two men on Scafell trying to navigate with a Wainwright book, but no map or compass or torch - now, I know that Mr Wainwright wrote some pretty fine books with lovely pictures but the better best is a good old OS map and compass really!

Anyway - it was a long old night - me, Daryl, Kaz and the Dram and Angus dogs had been up at Kirkstone pass all day meeting all our friends who support us and some members of the public as well.  I did a demo as well as all the others and even though the rain was awful, it was a great day and we met loads of new people who made a fuss of us.  We went home and were just about to settle down on the rug (well, me and the other two dogs - Kaz and Daryl were going to sit on the sofa!).  Just as Kaz had started reading her book, the phone rang and it was Mick telling her to not go to bed yet cos there was a search on Scafell for 2 missing men.  Kaz and me looked out the window and it was rubbish weather and we didnt really want to go anywhere - but we did.

We arrived at Keswick base and met up with Laura and Jake dog (and her navigator Rob) and our navigator Chesh.  Elly and Chris with Meggy and Beck were already out on the fell somewhere and so was Mick and my big sis Ginny - me and Kaz and Laura and Jake were told to search up Taylor Ghyll and onto Styhead. Now - during the day and when it's not too bad its an ok scramble - but to be honest at night it is pretty crap - we climed the rock up the right side of the ghyll which was a bit slippy.



We searched for an awful long time and I even found Kaz a hat and bought it for her.  Eventually we heard on the raido that the Wasdale Team found the men - here is a piccy that Wasdale took and it shows just how bad it was.

Me and Kaz got home at about 2.30 and she had to be in work for 7.30 so she was a bit tired.

Last night we went on the fell at Helton - ohhh Kaz got scared of the dark!!

Anyways - see you soon Dot fans and before I go have you heard that a sheep dog has just been sold for £8400 - frankly I dont get out of bed for less than £10k!
