Saturday Steps.....A WELTAF Walk

Well at least I'm in focus

We are members of WELTAF which stands for
 Welsh Terrier and Friends 
Members can put forward walks from anywhere around the country.
So we put forward Boomer's Historical Walk around Ironbridge.
You never know until the day how many Welsh Terriers will turn up, Lets have a roll call


OK Boomer's not a WT, but its his walk and he lead us around

Last but not least my mate Jenkins, good to see you again

That's 12 if you count me and Tess, we wanted to enjoy the walk with our friends so mom didn't take photos on the day of all the places of Historical interest because we've blogged about this walk before.
But I have put together a whistle stop tour of the places we past


The Jackfield Tile Museum


Maws Craft Museum


Can you see Flat Stanzie, love you
We stopped at The Boat Inn

Check out the flood door!


Mmmm, got myself some Guinness froth


Up the foot bridge that takes you over the river 



The Great Hay Inclined Plane.
 It was used to carry small barges up and down from the Shropshire Canal terminus at Blist's Hill down to the River Severn. 



We walked along this foot path passing
The Coalport China Museum
"Frankie" mom's not forgot about taking FG around : ) 

On to The Silkin Way

Under The Inclined Plane


Through a long tunnel

Down into the woods with loads of steps



Stopping at The Robin Hood Inn for a drink and a rest


Colin turned up for a drink


A very kind barman came out and give us all milky Bones


This is Frank, he was just passing and couldn't believe he eye's seeing all us, he lives local so might meet him again

Boomer thought it was time to make a move


Passing The Bedlan Furnaces


Ending the walk at The Ironbridge


Thanks to all my WELTAF friends for coming to walk around with me and Tess


Thanks Boomer for walking us around, I gave him my 4 Paws Award that I awarded him last week

"Say good bye Tess, you don't look to happy what's the matter?"
"I'm just sad its over, hope we can meet them again soon"

"Kisses from Me, Tess xxx"

I'm sad its over to
Have a good Week
See Yea George xxx

Wow, we were there a couple of years ago. We went to the Robert Harrop museum and they let us in with Amber and Annie and said they were the first dogs to be allowed in.
Ironbridge is such a lovely place and we went through that long tunnel too. The walk seemed to go on forever:-)
You know I love you Welshies. I bet you had a fab time.
I think I'm going to buy Boomer's book.

Love from me and Amber and Annie xxx

Your friends are so gorgeous like you, George! There must be lots of fun to play together with your friends.

I always love your mom's pictures, bright, beautiful and full of colours too.

You live in a very beautiful place, George. I hope I can visit you one day when I'm in the UK.

Oh George, what a fantastic day, we have them occasionally with the Schnauzer club and what fun it is to get together isn't it!!?

Glad the fireworks have stopped with you, we have a lull at the moment but think they're may be more about 11 - grrrrr.

Hey George & Tess!
Wow, what a fun event! Lots of gorgeous WelT furiends. Boomer did a great job and I bet the Robin Hood Inn was fun. They gave you treats! Love that tunnel too.
Grr and Woof,
