Forgive the title -I've spelt it wrong and can't correct it!

For the past three years we have spent our summer holidays at Grafham Water. Super site and the wardens are good. Unlike some sites where the dog walk is miniscule, Grafham's opens out onto a big field and you can walk right down to the reservoir (beware of blue algae). Last year I made up a list of dog walks of varying distances for the Wardens to print out, so hopefully the list is still there. On the subject of daycare for dogs, we do tend to take the kids to somewhere that is not dog friendly e.g. the Raptor Centre or similar places. We highly recommend Grafham Canine Adventures run by a lovely lady called Nicki Binks who offers doggy day care. Our dogs were spoilt rotten, and Nicki even sent us regular updates on our mobile on how the dogs were doing. It cost us £20 for two dogs for half a day and was worth it IMHO. Her cards should be in the information hut at Grafham or search via Google. We are not under any commission etc but wanted to pass this info on to any dog owners going to Grafham who may find the service useful!
