Took the dogs to Shotover Country Park this morning, it's about a 5min drive from us and a popular place for dog walkers. Maggie gets to meet lots of other dogs here which she doesn't at home. Shotover plain used to be the main road to London and notorious for highway men. You can still drive a car accross it but it's advisable to do it in a four wheel drive. I used to drive to work accross it as it's a shortcut to Headington where I worked and no traffic jams! The bottom picture was taken on the plain which as you can see is also popular with the moles! It's devided in the middle by stone boulders and the other side is a hard stoney track. There is also woodland and over the otherside on the estate is popular for shoots. Never seen deer here but there are pheasants and lots of rabbits. Maggie loves hunting in the woods. You can take a number of different marked walks, long or short. This morning we did one that took about an hour and a half. Also a lot of people take their horses up here as lots of bridle ways. Maggie as usual didn't stop running and hunting and came back very dirty. She has now had a wash and her breakfast and is fast asleep.
