Another wonderful day in the big forest

Early morning departure... we were all going to meet in the middle of Rold Forest at 9am. This time I remembered to bring a LARGE lunch packet and lots of tea - all that fresh air makes you hungry.
Today the tracks had to be official test quality: 400 m and rested for 4 hrs. So after laying the tracks we went back to the hunting hut and later we all went for a fun ride on a cart through a small part of Rold

By the time we were back the tracks were ready and we went out to see if the dogs had improved since last time... Some of them are becoming pretty stable trackers and Sammy did a not bad full test size track - she lost it once, as she just HATED having the wind right in her face and it confused her no end, but she was very enthusiastic and worked hard, so it was a real please for both of us to do it.
