Where I train

I take my dogs down to http://www.visitparks.co.uk/placestovisit/hadleighcountrypark.php where the Olympic mountain biking will take place in 2012.  The area is astounding overlooking the Thames Estuary with Kent over the river London to my right and Southend on sea to my left, on my special walks there is a hill where you feel you are on top of the world.  The trees wave to you in the wind when you stroll down towards the marsh land.  The cows sometimes take the opportunity to follow your steps which can be worrying BUT good practise for Black Gun Dog.
Here we are able to enjoy marking, water work, control as other walkers go by, I can send BGD from one side of a field down a Valley and up the other side while having her in my sight all the time.  Yes this area is special and a great place to train my dog 5 minutes from where I live .
Today I have noticed the bluebells pushing through confirming Spring is on its way.
