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

"I'm just sad its over, hope we can meet them again soon"

"Kisses from Me, Tess xxx"

"Wow Boomer, don't mind if I call you Boomer do you Boomerang, sooo pleased to meet you in the fur, thats a great book you've done, hope you will sign a copy or two for me"

I must tell my blogging friends
 about how famous you are around here.


Do any of you remember these
Saturday Steps

I told you I was on a secret mission,
Well it was to help Boomer out.

The first time I visited Delidale

in the post

I left my blogging card with the owner, and later I got an email from Boomer saying he is doing a book about  dog friendly walks around Ironbridge and Coalbrookdale, and is looking for  Canine Chums to test out the walks and do a comment to go in the book.
I was soo excited, me being asked if I would like to do a walk, yes please

I was to do
The Historical Walk

Which just so happens some of it I had done on the post
You know I took my girlfriend Stanzie with me

So here are some photos taken on the secret mission






















This is Boomerangs Book

 The Historical Walk, the maps are very clear and along with good directions even mom wouldn't get lost on one of these walks.
