Dogs on Wicklow hike

Dogs on Wicklow hike

In 300 metres...

We have a love-hate relationship with the GPS. On one hand, it took us to several sheepdog trials that we would have never found on our own.

On the other hand, it took us an extra hour and a half to get there because of the scenic route it took us on. Fortunately, Mary Lou and I travel well and were able to enjoy a part of Wales we would've otherwise never seen.







However, driving on a one track road for over an hour is a bit wearing...

Can you believe many of these roads have a speed limit of 96 km per hour????

Even with the delay, we managed to hit three trials today. Mary Lou and Dyna once again did well, possibly placing in two of the trials. (Over here, you leave to go to the next trial and find out by phone the next day how you did, very different from North America.)

My sheep kept leaving before Craig was halfway there. Nutters...

My only moment of redemption...







I think some of the sheep are on crack, personally.

P.S. We had one of those "they saw us coming..." moments. I guess we must not look like locals. Going into a well known local fish and chip shop, we asked for ketchup to go with our order. The lady at the cash pulls out an entire bottle of ketchup and offers it to us for a price. Apparently, no other ketchup was available and we were desperate, so we bought it. At which point, she offers a bottle of malt vinegar for us to purchase as well...come on, do we look like gullible tourists to you??
