A race to the mud at Great Flat Lode

Walk Length: 20 minutes

Muddy Rating: Not very

For a quick walk in proper Cornish mining country we usually head to the Great Flat Lode near Pool/Camborne.  As part of the mineral tramway which runs from Cornwall's North to South Coast, the mine buildings and pathways between them are all maintained.  There are maps and information boards around the Lode with lots of information about the mining in this area. 

This is quite a busy walk with lots of other dogs around.  It's all off the lead which I love and there's a great big field in the middle where I can run and run.  However, there is not much mud on this walk, that is except one MASSIVE puddle.  Usually mum manages to stop me running in to the puddle on the start of our walk.  However, I have this fantastic strategy that works every time with out fail.  Towards the end of my walk I speed up so I appear to be just out of ear shot.  Of course I can hear mum shouting at me to 'come back' or 'wait', but I pretend I can't, and before she knows it, I'm round the corner and in the glorious murk of the puddle!!!!



Selective hearing is a muddy dogs greatest asset!!
