Me and the Basset Hound Walkers. By Bessie

We is members of a group called the Basset Hound Walkers.  Well we is not really members cos it's not like there's a list or anything.  Every month the venue and date is on the website, if you want to go, you go.  Sometimes we do, sometimes we is busy or it is too far away.  Anyway I tell you a bit about the walks we have been on.

Mendips, Somerset 6th March 2011     17 bassets

This was the first walk we went on, it was just me and my humans.  We didn't get Carly til 6 days later, funnily enough if it wasn't for this walk we probably wouldn't have Carly.  Seeing me having so much fun with the pack made my humans realise I needed another basset so we got Carly.  We had lunch at the peak of the hill and then we all had a chase.

Woodberry Castle, South Devon 10th April 2011     24 bassets

This was Carly's first big day out and she did very well with all them other dogs.  It was a really hot day but there were loads of puddles and streams to paddle in and drink from.  We had lunch by a stream.

Hackpen Hill, Marlborough 8th May 2011     27 bassets

This was REALLY long.  Us and Mummy and another lady and her basset got lost cos her dog was very old and was walking slowly so we ended up way behind and luckily guessed our way back right.

Cerne Abbas, Dorset 5th June 2011     18 bassets

This walk was a long way away so we made a weekend of it and camped the night before.  Unfortunately it rained the day of the walk but we went anyway seeing as we'd come all that way.  We had our lunch on a hill and afterwards the humans went to a tea shop for a cream tea.

Kilve, Somerset 11th September 2011     14 bassets

We went on the beach and looked at fossils.  We walked up a hill and had our lunch at the top and afterwards the humans went to a tea shop for a cream tea.  It was just Mummy, Tom and Bryn that came with us today.  Daddy had taken Katie to a football tournament.

Savernake Forest, Marlborough 6th May 2012     23 bassets

We walked through the forest, some people rolled in mud (but not me).  Then we had lunch under a monument and walked through the other side of the forest.

Kilve, Somerset 14th October 2012     22 bassets

It was very muddy and very wet and cold but we had a good walk and it was lots of fun.  Lotty's first walk and she wasn't a bit shy.  She made friends with a gang of terriers and we didn't see her all morning.  She walked with us in the afternoon though cos she was tired and probably wanted a carry.
