  • In today's video, Harriet and I are walking Lola and Tilly, two miniature dachshunds, on Haughmond Hill in Shropshire. It also happens to be the day that the remnants of hurricane Ophelia happens to pass over us, so the sky is a bit weird.
    Haughmond Hill is a small, shallow hill in the English county of Shropshire. It is covered by woodland for the most part, although there is an open cast quarry (for stone aggregates) in use. Its proximity to the town of Shrewsbury has meant that it has become something of a forest park, with guided paths, car parking and picnic areas maintained in places. The rocky summit overlooks countryside and Shrewsbury itself.

    Thank you again Richard. Lots of childhood memories... From before the art installations. Just the old concrete gun emplacement. However. Abbey Woods behind the abbey is absolutely beautiful .

    Great video, one of your best. Having Harriett and Lola along allows for a much more casual and conversational presentation. Nice one.

    Very interesting video. I keep saying you’re so lucky to have so much green space available to you so close to these little towns.

    I always thought Haughmond Hill was an imposing prospect when viewed across the flat river meadows from a classroom block. Without that height of observation afforded by the building, the contrast of the Haughmond Hills' elevation from the surrounding flat river valley isn't really appreciated and from the new bypass it is barely noticed. It's not until you visit the summit, is the elevation of this hill above the surrounding flat river valley fully appreciated. The hill itself contains more tree cover than I remember and has been considerably more eaten away by quarry workings, but still offers fantastic views of the area. If combined with a trip to Haughmond Abbey and nearby Attingham Park would be a great day out even without a dog.

    This was very good, a nice relaxed stroll to the top. It did look a bit windy up there. Thanks 😄

    Lola looks like she made a doggy friend - though she was seeming to be a naughty girl on this day!😂🐶🐶

    Why doesn’t Harriet put Lola on a lead, then she wouldn’t get lost.

    • @RichardVobes
      @RichardVobes  6 лет назад

      Lola is the Dachshund, Harriet is her owner., I am the nut with the microphone.

      ORLA S oh yes ... Tilly. Harriet's mother's dog.

      No, I did actually mean the other small dog . ( not Harriet ! )

  • @JulioTijuana01

    This is probably a silly suggestion but you talking about the wind messing up Harriet's hair got me thinking how maybe Harriet could make wearing a hat her thing (like Martin's orange shirt). It would help her against wind and sun and also be something that viewers associate with her in the videos.

    • @RichardVobes
      @RichardVobes  7 лет назад

      I don't think Harriet like hats - she certain hates it if I put one on! :) Nice idea though.
