Aviemore 2009


Well Guys, Wot a time we have had recently.


We went to Aviemore. Its one of the biggest dryland races in the WORLD!!! Its huge.... I have never seen so many huskies, mals and sammys. It was a bit icy.... do any of you know about bootties made of wool that you can run on ice?


Me and Nakki, Mac, Minnie, Toddy and Spooky ran in the 6 dog class.........and wait for it.... we came 5th out of 29 teams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so chuffed as I ran lead both days.... dont let Dad kid you on that if I hadn't led the team into the heather on one day and taken the wrong turn the other we may have come higher.......


So, after we ran, Mum ran with Reiger and Moose. It was really emotional as my pal, Reiger, did so well. Remember he was so ill last summer, well, he is doing brilliantly and he and Moose came 9th out of over 40 teams....... and if Mum had been fitter and ate less donuts and been able to run up the hills they would have been even higher!!


Then Taggart and Zaki went out. Zaki was really scared on the ice (i dont blame him as it was scary) and he didnt want to run on Sunday. We are all really proud of him and Taggart and Aunty Kirsty as they did so well.


Ok, enough of my blethering ( Miss W, thats a scottish word i have learnt... it means chattering on about nothing). We have a race next weekend about 150 miles away but is is snowing a bit here. Honestly, if i was still at home with you guys you would say this snow is nothing...over here everything stops if they see one snow flake!!!!). So, we may not get to the race. I will let you know.


I hope you like the photos.


Lots of love
