Staycation - Matlock 2022 - Dog Friendly Places

Image
If you want to know anything now you just need to go to Google and ask. My search for places to go, hopefully open in February, just after the schools' half term holiday over has come up with quite a few places.  Whether being dog friendly is Reggie-friendly remains to be seen. Luckily we, Claire and me, have plenty of waterproof walking boots and warm coats to wear should Derbyshire turn into the cold and wet place it has a few time I have been before. Reggie though has a choice of waterproof coats and a Rough & Tumble towelling body wrap that we force him into when he is wet, after a rough towelling down! Although he looks more miserable when he is wearing it than the dog in the website photo! In my previous life as a rough-tough biker I have camped often in the Peak District at motorcycle rallies. Mostly around the Ashbourne area.  Usually though in the summer when it has been mostly warm and sunny.   So where to go? Well there are plenty of places here:   https://www.visit

Staycation - Matlock 2022

Not heard from the booking company as yet but when I logged in they will take the outstanding balance automatically on or around the 15th December.   I hope that they take it after my MasterCard statement for December is created and so the cost will be on the next one due after 13th January. Spreading the costs! Once it is all settled I can start to look at places to go that are dog friendly in late February!  Still need to have fingers crossed about the weather!   Even though the climate experts were telling us some fifteen to twenty years ago that the south-east of England would have a Mediterranean climate by now, we still have nothing to show for it.   Storm Arwen has recently struck the north east of England and border areas with Scotland and high winds and snow have taken out overhead power supplies.  Some 8 days later people are still without heating and light. Augers well for a carbon neutral future with everyone driving electric cars... but that's a different story. 👨
