We went on an adventure to the Lake District and this is my patrol of Tarn Hows.



First Impressions are very favourable for a great patrol.

I discovered a bridge that led somewhere so this was the first point of interest to explore.

The natural path of tree roots wound its way through the trees by the stream.

They have lots of interesting paths and surfaces to keep us amused.


The Tarn provided some great reflections.


I also checked out all the trees and there were plenty

Of course I was made to pose for the obligatory Little Lord CJ shot.

But soon was distracted by a possible intruder.

Next vital mission was to check out the water supplies for future troops and reference. Glad to report it was crystal clear and cooled to perfection.

Chalkie walked The Master round at a more sedate pace and did very little in the way of helping to secure the patrol borders.

He did join in occasionally with the sniffing

I reached a vantage point to survey the boundaries for future defence.

I mapped the strategic points for reference when I return.

Took time out to quench my thirst with this beautifully fresh mountain water.

One last check up and down The Tarn before moving on.


Took more notes of these two trees growing together as a reference point for my return.

We spotted loose intruders breaking our patrol boundaries and had to repel them off with a chorus of true Scotty Growls and Barks

It’s always amazing how many humans just ignore notices and let their dogs loose to breech the defences.

Then it was down to The money tree in remembrance of all those fallen and lost. We left several coins in memory of our comrades.

Then we wandered back to the expensive car park for a last check of the boundary

Then a down to watch the birds on the feeders at the car park




And that completed my patrol of Tarn Hows in The Lake District.
