a very long walk ... from Leith Hill to Friday Street

We were planning for the Friday Street walk since last year but we just couldn't find the right time to do the walk until yesterday. We were back from Monmouth on Sunday after nearly 5 hours drive, absolutely exhausted but I was up early yesterday to get things ready for this long walk.
We planned to park the car at Leith Hill Landslip carpark and walk to Friday Street. When we got to the carpark and let Sing out, he was "amazed" to find out we are not at any show. Poor soul, we have been missing out a lot of good long walks this year!
I like to take the dogs for a long walk in the country side especially in Autumn, I think it looks so beautiful to see all the leaves falling and the grounds are covered in brown leaves.
The walk wasn't quite successful, Colin misplaced his GPS and we couldn't locate it anywhere and decided to go without it. We walked miles and miles, hours and hours and still cannot find the path to Friday Street and this walk was very hilly, so up and down, very tiring but the dogs enjoyed their walk and I was enjoying the fallen leaves ... and of course after 3 hours walk and we still cannot find the way to Friday Street and I decided to turn back and luckily I did because when we got home, Colin checked on the map and realised we were nowhere near Friday Street because we took the wrong turning and we could ended up in somewhere.
So, NO Friday Street, NO pub lunch, NO cream tea ... when we got back to the carpark, I was starving, Colin suggested we could find somewhere in Dorking for cream tea but to our surprised, we could not find anywhere for anything to eat!! Since we were on A217, we dropped in at Tesco's cafe for a Lamb Shank!

The boys at Leith Hill


Sing was after the squirrel!!

After a long walk, Saturn decided to have a chew and
Seagull thought Colin's legs made a comfy pillow!

and this is Sing's runs at Caerphilly weekend together
with his team mates in the Team Dash, I am sorry but I don't know what are the pet names for Katarina and Daniel's dogs:

A very long walk indeed and nothing to eat at the end of it! I love the photos, especially the one of Seagull tucked up in Colin's feet, it's so cute.
