Me and my OH love weekends as we get u early, do the chores and take Trudy, our 3 yr old lab for a good walk. Normally pack her water and take flask of coffee for us after the walk.

However we seem to be getting bored of Birmingham as done all the good places for walking, anyone local and got some nice places too go? Prefably with a river as she likes to get in and have a swim and we got a car so could have a drive but prefably stay in West Mids/Gloucester way.

Thanks x

Wales is great for nice clean rivers/streams and reservoirs. I recommend the Elan Valley. Is that a bit far? I live in Gloucestershire. The forest of Dean and the Wye valley is also lovely. Have you heard of Symonds Yat?
