I think I am right in saying that this should have been yesterday's walk, but there was a last minute switch because of the poor weather? If I've got that wrong, I will be corrected and also blame Mum! Today's weather was much better with only light rain.
Uncle Dave manage to come across a grouse butt (no I had never heard of one before either) and looks quite at home in it.
Fergus apparently has boundless energy this week, although I am told it is most apparent around dinner time.
The half way mark has been passed with the team hitting the Yorkshire Dales National Park now. A good time to remind everyone quite why they are doing this walk ... because they are bonkers.
Well may not totally ... the main reason is to raise money for the lovely people at the Animal Health Trust who work so hard for all animals. We came to know them after Fergus survived a bout of SCI 5 years ago. Sadly the funding for any continued research has run out, but they are currently working on researching glaucoma in dogs and especially Welshies.
So that's the serious bit. If you would like to support the team - and thank you to everyone who has and raised an incredible £862.50 so far - please follow this link to the Fergus The Dog page at Virgin Money Giving http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/FergusTheDog where you can also see a few pictures from the first half of the walk.
