Introduction Rolo is staying with us for three days. I love walking with him, but it is hard work as he is very strong! There is a lot more to remember when you’re taking a dog with you. Unfortunately, this resulted in me forgetting my rucksack with lunch and water…

Introduction I didn’t intend writing a blog during a short stay with Cal in Anglesey, but this short morning walk, and this afternoon’s rain have inspired me! Parys Mountain isn’t really a mountain, being only about 340 feet high. It’s just off the A5025, and we parked in a layby…
