After the success of our first ever Zoom Quiz in August, we’re holding our Christmas Quiz on Tuesday 8 December at 8.00pm. All are welcome, whether members of the Club or not, and all proceeds will go to the Entlebucher Mountain Dog Club Rescue Fund. If you’ve not done an online quiz before, why not give it a go – there will be questions for everyone, including picture rounds and a 50/50 round. We look forward to seeing you there!

Cracker gave us her mileage from yesterday which took us around Regent’s Park to our meeting point. There should then have been five for the final walk, but poor Salvo and Izzy were struck down with gastro-enteritis overnight and were not well enough to travel to London. After all their hard work it was very sad they couldn’t be there and we send them our best wishes for a speedy recovery. That meant Sybil, Bella and Wilma were our representatives and walked the final stage from Regent’s Part to the Embassy on a beautiful sunny autumn day.
Our welcome at the Embassy was lovely and we spend a happy twenty minutes talking about the breed and our work to help Heidi. Thank you to all
the Embassy staff who helped to set this up, it was a great day for us and we were delighted to present the Ambassador with a picture from the UK Club to mark the occasion.
Thank you to all the dogs who have taken part in the walk and to all our supporters. We are still taking donations at https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/walkforheidi so please do send in any sponsorship money or donations. It will all go to enable Heidi to have the final operation she needs.

Today we set out on the final stage before going to the Embassy in London tomorrow. Salvo and Izzy added 2.15 miles each. Then Dickens adding 4.4 miles took over to take us to the Royal Observatory at Greenwich. Sybil and Basil added 1.5 miles each to take us to Tower Bridge Road. Babeli, being a very cute but slightly independent puppy, chose to take us a different route with her 2.6 miles to get everyone to where we are meeting up tomorrow. She finished her stage at Clerkenwell before pawing over to Cleo. Cleo used her 2.6 miles to get us to London Zoo at the northern end of Regent’s Park. And that is where Bella, Wilma, Sybil, Izzy and Salvo will meet tomorrow to walk together for the very last stage of the walk.

With many of the dogs on the stand at Discover Dogs today there were not many walkers. Salvo and Izzy set out and did 2.1 miles each. Then Dickens took over and added 6.25 miles, which was further than he’d planned because of a detour as a result of some sheep being fenced in with an electric fence. Finally we have a new walker joining the walk for Heidi as Cracker (red paw print) joins us to add 4 miles to our total and gets us as far as Sittingbourne.

Today’s walks have brought us back onto English soil. Dickens has added 8.55 miles over the last two days and got us back onto dry land. Wilma, Alfie and Shadow then each did 1.3 miles and Salvo and Izzy did 5.2 miles each. Which means we end the night in Kent having just past Canterbury.

Today was a little quieter than yesterday Elliot got us off to a start with 4.4miles then he pawed across to Salvo and Izzy who added 1.9miles each. Aristotle had a rest today as his legs were hurting, so it was Shadow’s turn to add 1.3 miles and then her son Dickens added 4.3 miles to the total, brining us into Calais. After that Wilma went out and did 1.3 miles. It was Sybil who had to get her paws wet to start the Channel swim and Basil followed close behind they finished the day with 2.7 miles to Sybil and 3.5 miles to Basil. Which means we are now stranded in the middle of the Channel so it’s a really good time to sponsor us to get to the other side!

We seem to have stepped up the pace today, although some was later on yesterday. Salvo and Izzy did a mile each and then added another 2 miles each later. Babeli added 4.56 miles and Heidi and Bella have managed 7.16 each. Aristotle, Wilma and Shadow each did 1.3 miles while Cleo added 3.36 to the tally. Basil managed 4 miles, Izzy I mile and Dickens added an impressive 7.9 miles. All that means we’ve now covered 437.7 miles of the journey and there is only another 115 to go! We may take a bit of a detour to visit one or two places with Entlebuchers along the way so that we arrive at the Embassy next week just in time.
We may get to Calais tomorrow. Who’s up for a swim?

Then Salvo and Izzy did 1.9 miles each. They pawed across to Shadow whose 1.3 miles brought us to Henin sur Cojeul. From there Cleo took over and added 2.9 miles, before Wilma added another 2.3miles bringing us to the outskirts of Arras. Finally Basil and Sybil added 4 miles each taking us through Arras and out to a place called Mont Saint Eloi. We’ve done 392 miles of the total which means there is just another 160 miles to go.
