Since the walk, Twinkle has kept busy, supporting John Lovelock on his walk as well. She will (with Wendy's assistance) be opening our Dog Show on Saturday March 7th. Her Fund Raiser page is still open, so if you have only just heard about it, or have not been able to donate yet, you can still do so.

And guess what, we were so busy concentrating on going down the hill in Manning's Pit and trying to keep up with Wendy and Twinkle, we forgot to take any photos until we got to Manning's Pit bridge!

Here are Wendy, Kate and Robin at the bridge

Here's Twinkle in training, doing "road work" around Pilton on a very wet day.

Along Bellaire, Twinkle spots a dog on the footpath opposite. Twinkle thinks she is a big fierce dog herself.	Wendy struggles to hold Twinkle, who is doing her best to let the other dog know who is boss.
Twinkle and Wendy meet a friend at the top of the steps into Nursery End.	They make a quick business call on the Friends of Manning's Pit Secretary, Chris Bulpett.
