Taking advantage of the sadly all to rare recent good weather and the fact that Vicky had a dog 4 days ago we decided to have a good walk. We started in the village of Oakamoor and walked up the wooded valley to The Rambler's Retreat hotel, nestled in a beauty spot called Dimmingsdale. For anyone not from round these here parts this is just a few miles from Alton Towers. Vicky wanted to test out Spartacus (for that is his name) walking off the lead and his reaction to people and other dogs. description Well our wish was granted, the path soon filled with dogs and people of all sizes. Spartacus (I preferred Stimpy as his name) was really well behaved reacting calmly with both species of mammal. Each time he was rewarded with a dog biscuit. At one point Vicky, thinking that he was eating too much decided in her wisdom (Vicky and wisdom are 2 words seldom seen together just like Jenny and salad !) to bite a biscuit in half but only ended up swallowing most of it. One particular encounter was with a small lady and an enormous black and white Great Dane. From even a middling distance this dog bore an uncanny resemblance to a Fressian Cow
