The East Midlands lot are having another get-together for a ramble through the environs of Elvaston Castle....


As per usual, the post code for Elvaston Castle takes you to the wrong side of the park - so if you're coming for the first time, please be aware that you need the main entrance to the big car park, off the B5010... Everyone waits on the showground at the side of the car park - you can't miss us... loads of doods dashing around and hooms chatting, with one eye on their zoomey-ing charges...!
There is a small charge for parking, with several meters hidden around the car park (some of which actually work...


Anyhoo, after gathering on the main showground and having a chat (from around 10.15) we'll be moving off around 10.30 with a trot through the wooded area, and another chance for the doods to hare around chasing balls, sticks, each other... on the smaller events field. Oh, and most likely taking an early bath in the impromptu lake which appears around this time of year. After that, a tootle to the café - followed by a dip in the lake for all those doods brave (and/or muddy) enough...
The coffee van has disappointingly been missing from the car park in recent months - perhaps with Spring in the air, it will magically reappear... if not, there is an ice cream van (and a childrens' play area for those with younger sprogs, or a more youthful appearance...)

Hope to see you there... bring your boots, your waterproof trousers and your sense of humour!!
