Hi McWoofers!
McDaisy,
McHolly, Miss MacMay, Miss MacWendy, Eric de McFerret and Monty
McSporran back with you again after a fun filled day!
Last night it poured down but we didn't mind 'cos we were tucked up in bed snoring our tails off!
When we did awake it was all sun shine and balmy breezes!
Old Two Legs was up early cleaning the ferret cages while Holly and I stayed on the bed keeping out of the way 'cos first thing in the morning those ferrets just go completely potty!
 |
| When the ferrets are loose then this is the safest place to be! |
After all the jobs were done OTL asked if we wanted to go on and adventure?
Does a dog go Woof?
Off we set heading up the beach until we came to the small river or as they say up here, 'A Wee Burn'
Mind you, looking at the colour we thought someone had poo'd in it! That was until OTL told us it was the peat that made it that colour
 |
| Looks good enough to have a paddle in! |
Once we had crossed the burn, we came across a sign post telling us what to expect at the end of our walk!
 |
| Dunno wot the Co-op or a Whelk has got to do with the walk! |
As we climbed up higher through the ferns and grass we could see the whole beach and the camp site laid out before us!
 |
| It Looks Brill in the Sun Light! |
There were loads of ferns along our way and at times McHolly and I couldn't see where we were going! OTL had to lead us as we hung onto our lead to make sure we didn't fall off the edge and land on the rocks below!
 |
| We should have brought our Ice Axe and Crampons! |
As we got higher we came across peat bogs and rocks. It was good fun dancing across the rocks and we didn't fall in once!
 |
| We had to be careful but in the end we made it across! |
Finally we made it to the end and there on top of the highest point was what is called a Cairn, that's wot they call a Highland pile of stones!
 |
| The idea is that you add a stone to the top when you visit! |
OTL says that he has added many stones to Cairns when he was climbing Munroe's, so not to miss out, we put our rock on top.
 |
| Before. |
So, right at the top we placed our rock and we have called it ...........
 |
| There is is, right at the very top! |
Well, once we had got up there, telephoned The Missus to look out of the caravan and wave at us, we headed back down. This time OTL let us off our lead 'cos he reckons by now we should be careful enough not to fall in and bogs or off the cliffs!
 |
| Come on, I can sniff the way! |
OTL let us go in front to lead the way but we lost the path and had to make our new way down!
 |
| Well, this looks like fresh sheep poo! |
As we passed the burn again OTL shoved McHolly and me into the burn to wash off all the peat that had stuck to our legs, McHolly didn't want to go in the water but OTL persuaded her in and she got not only her paws but her tummy wet as well!
It was a long walk back to the caravan and after a bite to eat, we fell asleep and were soon snoring our tails off!
OTL included!
We just love adventures!
See you all tomorrow!
Luv,
Hi McWoofers!

Yo mcmaties up there. Wot a wonderful adventure you've had today. I love your rock, I reckon it's the best rock in the pile. Loved all the pictures. Did you see Mrs TM waving at you when you were up top of that mountain? Poor Holly chops, fancy pushing her in the water, I hope she didn't mind too much otherwise OTL better sleep with one eye open tonight. I went for a nice walk up the shop early this morning before it got too warm and I got treats although Brenda wasn't there to give them to me. Me and my mum had a nice siesta then she started making her Xmas cards?????????? I mean, it's summer, I think she's away in the head. Anyways, I'd better go and help my mum cook the sausages and make sure she doesn't burn them. Have a lovely evening all and paws crossed for another sunny day for you all tomorrow. Love, licks, wags and sniffs from little Arch and the Nippers xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteGreeting McGodwins. What lovely adventures you've been on with brown burns and stony piles on top of hills. Did TM wave to you? We hope the brown water didn't give you a brown butt? I'm glad that TM found the Nickle & Dime store in Campbeltown. Did she spot Annette TL? She goes in there a lot and buys plastic boxes to put food in the fridge in. We hope that TM's boxes help keep her craft stuff neat and tidy. Good job the little boxes go inside the bigger boxes so they will all fit in the caravan on the way home. Our mum is still busy putting big kisses on all the tests that the children in her class did. Sometimes she yells hooray when they get the difficult ones right. They have done lots of tests so mum is using all the ink in her pens up. She keeps falling asleep as she is marking so forgive us if we don't always comment because mum was snoring over the keyboard, Have to go now. Wishing you sunshine and sniffy adventures. Love, snifgs, wags and woofs from Izzy, Hamish, Bella and The 3 Hooligans xxxxx
ReplyDeleteIt is me back with internet, now on the mainland at Widley Fort, you can see the Isle of Wight from here! Only two days but it means we can visit Fort Nelson tomorrow, I don’t know if we will see The Admiral though. Speaking of Christmas cards, our friend who is with us bought a pack of Christmas cards from the steam railway the other day, they support the Lifeboats and Steam Trains, her husband has photos he took in the 1960’s of the Isle of Wight steam trains when it had a normal service and Haven Street is now on a short line and a sort of made up place with the story of it all. A bit like OTL who goes off to find sea eagles, John travels miles to see an engine but then he is more likely to find them as they are bigger and tend not to fly around as much. I have read your latest news on the car, so sorry, I hope it gets sorted soon xxxxxx. and to OTL and TM XX
