a cock stride....................

I have a puppy.... well she is 13 months old now but she is still 'my puppy'.
She has her twice daily walks in the field behind my house but every Wednesday night my friend and I take her for a good 2 hour hike.

Although I have lived where I do for a good many years now I still don't know the nooks and crannies of the countryside that is a cock stride from my house. My friend does, however, as she was born here and had explored widely when she was growing up.

The lighter nights are now with us and what a joy it is to wander through the countryside in the evening sunshine after battling with inner city traffic. To watch my puppy discover horse manure for the first time and her rub her face in it like it is heaven!! [why do they do that??]

I have decided to take a few snaps of 'my Wednesday countryside' hikes, to show how green and lush the north-west of England really is .
This set are not particularly good but you get the gist I hope!
