He is a Jack Russell cross Border Terrier, but luckily for me he has a border terrier temperament, much calmer and less serial killer than a Jack Russell. I have had 4 JRT's over the years before him and he is the best behaved by quite a margin. Do they discriminate against you because he isn’t pure JR? So they exclude you by doing events for dogs with racial purity and stuff like that and making jokes about halfcast hounds? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Russells were considered mongrels until 2016 so they don't get to be snooty. A Parsons Russell is the only true pure 'Jack Russell'. I'm running for cover. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Went out walking with the Dear Boy today, 11k round trip up river to the Village of Golant. Where my Mrs came from. We walked up the old coach road but I can't imagine anything that size getting through now. Golant is a beautiful little village with a tidal Pill created by the railway line going through. If you were to follow the railway line it would take you to Lostwithiel one way and Fowey the other. The last pictures are of my dream house. The Old Sawmills at Bodmin Pill about a 1k down river from Golant. My Dad worked there for the best part of ten years when I was young. I spent many hours there as a boy during school holidays. Idyllic part of my childhood that I remember very well. Little bit of an obstacle on the path up from Bodmin Pill. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 First of all, cracking photos , looks like a great walk Is this what you're referring to as 'the Old Coach road ' ? Is this it on the map, if so I'd love to ride up there 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible by bike but a bit challenging, I did it on a DT175 many years ago. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Nice jaunt out on the cycle today. Average speed is pretty low because we stopped off a couple of times and then one of the guys got a puncture. Anyway, the route, the gang (apart from Pascale, who took the photo) and a couple of pics from the ruins of a Roman house we looked at. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Had a walk around Luxulyan Valley this morning with the Dear Boy. Only 6K but stunning up there. No people either the way I like it. We had a look at the remains of the old winding engine and at Treffrey Viaduct. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Another outing, this one was on the non-ebike. Headwind on the first half of the ride was tiring, but the return trip was better. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 Strolled for a couple of miles in the sunshine, so many different brilliant blues accompanied by a soundtrack of waves crashing on shingle. Good for the soul. Especially when it’s followed by bacon Some abandoned something or other that Mr Slowly tried to persuade me was an old cinema, even he couldn’t quite land that one 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a lot more development going ahead, I could see Salobreña changing from a sweet seaside place used predominantly by the Spanish into something more sprawling and touristy. I’d put money on that abandoned bit being developed in the next couple of years. Then again Motril is next door and they already do all of that stuff so hopefully not! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
