Want to comment on the following anecdote from Rob Meadows ?
Don't forget the dog!
When wandering off into the mountains, top of my things to take list is not map, compass or boots, it is my faithful walking companion Elle, my Cairn Terrier.
When the going start to get tough, and the old legs start to burn, Elle will look down at me (She is always at the front) and spur me on to the top.
I don't think walking would be such a joy for me, if it wasn't for this little dog.
So to all the people who think dogs should be permanently on leads, spare a thought for the people who take great pleasure in taking their favourite walking partner (and sometimes only walking partner) into wild open spaces that they can roam lead free, without fear of being run over.
