Boy and Dog

As its the school holidays and it was a lovely day, we went out to Mugdock Country Park for the afternoon. We've been there often but, as both the teens were in a good mood and the dog is always keen to explore new paths, we went a lot further than before. The park was really busy by the visitor centre, but this area beyond the castle was really quiet. We followed signs that took us through Mugdock Woods to the Kyber Pass (!), where this photo was taken.
The dog was very happy, and found lots of very muddy ditches to explore. Fortunately we also came across a river that was deep enough for her to swim in, so she got cleaned up before we had to get her back into the car.
