Soon after creating this blog and calling it " The Longest Dog Walk In Britain" I found that at least one person has walked their dog around the entire UK coastline - which is considerably longer than my JOGLE!
The other problem is that it is no longer a dog walk...Patch is now at home putting her feet up as the walk was too stressful for her as we came off the footpaths to avoid the problem with dogs & cows. It's very strange not having her around, and I really do miss her terribly. John would love to go abroad on holiday but I won't leave her so it is incredibly frustrating that I'm now plodding across the UK alone in the rain. Not fun anymore.
The new goal is to get finished ASAP so I can get home! I'm now doing more mileage each day - a minimum of 20 a day (30 covered today!).
Things have been good lately though on the social front. I met Gayle & Mick who treated me to a very nice bar meal, and 2 nights ago I had a lovely evening with John, Martin, Sue & Viv. I stayed overnight with Martin & Sue & thoroughly enjoyed everybody's company - a really lovely group of people.
I'm currently near Cannock Chase and sodden. My boots & socks honestly couldn't get any wetter if I threw them in the river. Let's hope the rain stops soon!

Chin up and the rain might stop? With those big 30ml days you will soon be dine.
Sophie, there's absolutely nothing wring with this blog's name - don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise.
Keep up the good walk, I hope you have more success in posting to your blog - it's becoming compulsory reading!
THIS GOES TO PROVE WHAT A CARING PERSON YOU ARE, AND ULTIMATELY A HUGE DOG LOVER. I ADMIRE YOU FOR HAVING THE COURAGE TO LET PATCH GO HOME TO REST. YOUR WALK AT YOUR NEW MILEAGE WILL BE OVER BEFORE YOU KNOW IT AND RE-UNITED WITH PATCH. GOOD LUCK WITH THE REST OF YOUR JOURNEY
Sophie, I've just stumbled over this and regret that I've missed your adventure so far. I will be making a donation first thing in the morning and will encourage others to do so by using other mediums to promote this fantastic walk.
Keep at it, we're all cheering for you. Best wishes, I hope the weather is kind to you over the rest of this course.
Hi Martin, I took your advise and stuck my chin up...and got a very wet face. Blooming rain! I'm sure your right though.
Hi John, shame your knees knackered as I'd collar you to keep me company for a while! Thanks for that!
Thanks Ramblerman45, that's really nice to hear.
Steve - sounds good to me, many thanks!
