Re: Is there any point...? Boooo, it's going to be before you get there. It's my sister-in-law's birthday on 5th, so we'll be up there for that and then back down to Surrey on 6th. May is a busy month with hers on 5th, J's on 9th and mine on 17th! I've just booked my session with Helen for the morning of May 6th
Re: Is there any point...? Gosh you are going to be busy! All that and a training session with Helen, will you have time to relax yourself?

All that and a training session with Helen, will you have time to relax yourself? [/quote] Oh, that's not the half of it. Driving Andorra - Surrey overnight on Friday, arrive about 7:30am on Saturday at my sister's. Have a day with her and my parents, who live just down the road - it will be the first time my folks have met the pups, so bound to be dog walking involved. Then the next morning, drive to Bristol (well, South Gloucestershire) to have Sunday lunch with my best mate and her family, staying overnight in Old Sodbury, then on the Monday, driving up to Liverpool for two nights for SIL's birthday. Wednesday morning, back to Evesham for three hours with Helen, then driving back to Surrey. Collapse. Saturday is J's 60th, so into the Big Smoke for lunch at Dinner by Heston, followed by a show and cocktails. Then Sunday dinner with the olds. The following week, I'll be commuting to Portsmouth a couple of times to meet my business partners and I also have to fit in a trip up the Shard with Mummy Bear at some point. Friday morning is another early start, to get back to the Tunnel and down to Bordeaux for two nights to celebrate my birthday with our pups' parents et al, and then early Monday drive back home. I'd also like to fit in a couple of mini forum walks if possible! No, there's never any time to relax when I come to the UK. And yet, it goes down in the work calendar as "holiday"!!

[/quote] Feel tired just reading that! Crikey... ;D For a relaxing and quite quiet walk, if you have time try Lower Woods, close to Old Sodbury and our favourite walking place. Westonbirt is also stunning, but a bit busier, full of very well mannered dogs there... : both really good dog walking areas
Re: Is there any point...? We definitely need to fit in a couple of walks while we're there - dawgs still need to be dawgs! Westonbirt is a good idea; I went to a festival of wood there a few years (ok, many years) back, so I know how pretty it is. My friends live right on Yate Common, so that's easy for general walks/training while we're visiting, albeit it's not the most interesting common in the world! I don't know Lower Woods, so hopefully we'll have time to check that out, too. Thanks for the suggestions
