The road forks after around 50yrds going through a set of traffic lights. Keep right and follow the right hand land signposted ring road/Lichfield. You will be on 'The Broadway'. Once through the traffic lights, get over to the left hand lane. Go past Morrisons, through the traffic lights next to it, to another set of traffic lights. Keep heading straight on. Follow 'The Broadway' for around a mile and a half. This will take you through another set of traffic lights and over several-teen islands! Just remember, keep going straight on, following the signs for Lichfield/Walsall. After around the mile and a half, you will come to the Arboretum. If you look to your right, the row of houses lining the broadway will stop and you will see a railing set back with a broad grass verge in front of it. There is a driveway and a small sign pointing to the Arboretum. Turn right up that driveway and you'll be there. Just a note...... If after drving down the broadway, you come to a very large island and can see a Safeway Supermarket, you have gone too far! Turn round and you will come to the entrance on your left. For further clarification the postcode of the event is WS1 2AB, google map here: http://tinyurl.com/34ue5tb NB: We would ask on the day that any dogs that aren't great with smaller or other dogs are muzzled for safety measures and to make the event more relaxed and enjoyable for everyone. Muzzles are available for hire. ________________________ We're going! I'm going to church in the morning instead of afternoon so we can go. I'm entering Axel in a few classes, maybe he'll get lucky Would be great to see some of you there!
I wish I could come and get my pointy fix but - it's a bit far - I should really go onto GG more often - I've not been on in ages - I suppose looking at all the greys and not being able to adopt my own for another 4 years it makes me want even more lol... Have fun though.. I think he ought to be entered into handsome dog - he best win something - and we need LOTS of pictures
It's probably a bit of a way from you. I will take lots of pictures indeed! I'll be entering him into handsome dog and black dog and best Gap rescue, and another I can't remember. I'm hoping he enjoys it
