When your dog has an itch

Today’s Adventure: Exploring the Countryside with My Dog

There’s nothing quite like a peaceful walk through the countryside, especially when you’ve got a four-legged friend by your side. Today, we embarked on a scenic route that loops through charming villages, open fields, and quiet lanes—a perfect escape from the everyday hustle and bustle.

The Route We began our journey in Saxby and followed the winding paths through Garthorpe, Coston, and Buckminster before looping back. The total route covered about X miles (or kilometers), taking us past picturesque spots and offering plenty of opportunities to soak in the beauty of nature. Highlights of the trail included:

• The Mere: A tranquil area that’s perfect for a quick rest.

• Coston Road: A scenic stretch surrounded by greenery.

• Historic Villages: Each village had its own unique charm, from Saxby’s quaint cottages to Buckminster’s striking architecture.

This route is moderately challenging, with a few gentle inclines and plenty of flat sections—ideal for a casual walk or jog.

The Star of the Day As always, my dog was the star of our adventure! He loved every second of it, from sniffing around the fields to sprinting through open spaces. His energy and enthusiasm were infectious, making the walk even more enjoyable.

To give you a glimpse of our day, I’ve uploaded a couple of videos that capture him in action:

• Video 1: Watch as he enthusiastically explores a wide-open field, his tail wagging non-stop.

  
  
  
  

• Video 2: A candid moment by The Mere, where he splashes around and has the time of his life.

This route offered a perfect balance of serene landscapes, charming villages, and plenty of space for my dog to roam. It’s definitely one I’d recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful outing with their furry companion.

If you’re planning to try this route, be sure to bring plenty of water, especially for your dog, and a sturdy pair of walking shoes. Don’t forget to keep your phone or camera handy to capture some beautiful moments along the way!
