I know nothing about the breed specifics, but could he need mental stimulation? Your comment about collies is a common misconception, but actually what most collies lack is mental stimulation – they need about an hour’s worth of ‘work’ a day or they can be a real pain in the butt. Lots of folk tend to up the exercise for their collies, which just leads to super fit, bored collies. I think it woud be unusual to find a Westie that needed 20 miles worth of exercise a day – most of ones around us get an couple of short walks per day and their owners don’t mention any problems.

What food are you using? can make a huge difference, I have had Bearded Collies for 25 years now so know how active types of dogs can be!

Have a word in a food shop that has some knowledge (not a chain) and see if a change of diet helps

But you did get a terrier type so………..

Also have a look on doggy forums relating to terriers, theres lots of help on there

So those who are going, How are you getting there? Train to Westhumble?

Perhaps we need a STW dress code to meet and greet! Carnation in velcro shorts buttonhole perhaps

haighd2 just to cheer you up remember next year it will be over 2 days :-)!

Hmmm wasn’t that popular then!

Just the test!

How odd I have just this minute had an Email saying I have got a couple of wristbands to the box hill area!, I did enter on guildford BC 🙂

I live next to the route in Gomshall and can confirm they are closing the footpaths/ bridleways that access the road, still going to give it a go though!

aesthetics? its a frickin washer, I do look for which type last longest and can cope with mud long dog hair etc but thats my own personal hell

You have way too much spare time! 😛

You a NIMBY??

Thing about being accused of Nimbyism is that no one else will bother generally, so its normally up to those who live closest or use the area, how many times have you objected to stuff without having a real intertest in it?

Slow bike races! wow reminisce moment

Trackstands really spoilt that….

Knob Hill near me

Well I learned what a lemon party is too, if invited to one will stay well away! 🙂

I did this last year, its pick a number and see how they feel really, put yourself in their shoes and see what you would be happy to accept! I paid 6k in the end (no power and i already owned the one next door)

might be a very stupid question, but have you checked that the wireless on your laptop/computer is switched on? is there a button on the side or back that has accidentally been knocked?

I did this to my shame…. mine was on top of laptop keyboard area

If you are still running CS2 and office 2008 why do you need lion?

I attended a Peaslake community council meeting last night as we had heard that there was going to be a motion put forward to extend the old no vehicles covenant that was put on in the 1920s to include bikes!

Thankfully this didn’t happen but there will be signs up soon asking people to use the car parks (walking bottom is currently being improved to take more cars)

Apart from the usual suspects being anti bike i was bouyed to hear some non biking people stating how they thought the village centre was more vibrant with the bikers than without! Not something I was expecting

Go on then who was it?

God yes! next time it could be a child’s face

Looks like there is a whole lot more to discover round there next time, are there any trailmaps available anywhere?

Local canoe club? Scouts?

TBH though fiberglass ones are not exactly sought after these days!

A bus station is where buses stop. A train station is where trains stop.

Bus terminus?

When was the last time you heard ‘controversy’ or ‘privacy’ pronounced correctly on the Beeb

Its not just me then!

It really goes against the grain….

thread of the week already!

Capt jon i like your plane way of speaking

I was going to start a thread saying ho good the FOD downhill trails are, first time for me a a bit of a XC rider but i have now got a full face lid and knee pads!

great weekend on some great trails

You should have seen the kid in our group. He tried to launch the table top at the bottom of Ski Run and land on the transition of the jump to left. Accounts vary but it looks like he cleared about 30 foot before flat landing and exploding. Put a nasty gash on his arm but he bandaged it up and carried on!

We spoke to him as he walked past our red van asked him whether he needed patching up!, seemed ok though

Gotama

Cheers!

Nicko yes but if they are not comfortable i just wont want to wear them, i’m gonna have to find somwhere near me that stocks a good range

Any one any ideas of places near guildford?

Same as the OP for me I have just had delivery of sone TLD Tbones but i really cant see me riding uphill in them, i was told you hardly know your wearing them but i’m not convinced!

Cheers retro i’ll give it a go

My Dad wrote a book titled “the history of the bicycle in war”, it was a good read although the publisher rejected it due to probable lack of demand!

Had a good 1st WW section about putting bikes across the road to slow the approaching cavalry while you hide in a ditch and take pot shots at them!

we made that backdrop last week 8)

I don’t get it.

It just seems a bit old gittish

you havent experienced Jim Mcallister have you!

The trouble is that the current situation does not allow for any kind of progression in the sport, which is why you find people building their own sneaky lines.

unfortunately they have now created large open areas that are very tempting to put a trail through!

Different trails in different parts of the forest that are logged on a rotation.

Thats how i always thought it should be done! theres no evidence of replanting yet though

double post fail
