I must explain that Darwin gets three walks a day however big walks like this takes both of us to do as he's still so nervous. Darwin is rescue dog and was in kennels for six months before we got him, he also wasn't treated very well by his last owners so has trust issues, he doesn't like rain or mud add to that he's scared of most dogs and you can see why this is a two man job.
Today we went to the great flat lode, South Wheal Frances (Cornwall). South wheal Frances lies roughly in the middle of the Great Flat Lode with its area bounded to the north east by the sett of Wheal Basset and to the south west by Grenville United sett. the area has a lot of mining history and was granted world heritage status back in July 2006. This area has loads of different walks and is used mostly Horse riders and dog walkers. For more information on this check out the link below

So it was a dry but windy day today so we all wrapped up warm with our coats and scarfs, even Darwin had his jumper on under his coat. It was a quick trip in the car and we were happy to see not many other cars there (this means less dogs). We hope that one day he will become more comfortable with other dogs but we are going to take him to classes for this and not risk it by ourselves. All in all it was a great walk Darwin loved all the new smells even the fresh horse poop he tried to rub his face in (luckily we were able to stop him).

Since we have got home Darwin has only got out of his bed to eat and as I write this all I can hear is his gentle little snores (sooooo cute).
