What a fantastic weekend for the weather! Unbeleivable at this time of year. Actually sat outside the van and had a couple of beers - almost like summer.

Loved the site and will definately be going again as soon as posible.

We didnt take the bikes because we took the dog, but we walked his legs off.

Unfortunately, on Saturday, a teenager fell into the River Nene and the last I heard (Monday) he was still missing.

LittleKath, sorry we didnt look you up, but didnt see your post until we got home.

Teenager is still missing Geoff, they are bringing in specialist underwater vision equipment now to aid the search. Sad

A note of warning re your Dog and Ferry Meadows - its a walkers paradise but also is the only place in Peterborough I know of where a dog can catch Droopy Tail. I have no idea what the official name is - neither has the vet.

3 years ago there was a spate of Labradors in the surgery with droopy tails (curled under the body and could not lift them up without pain) - a painkilling jab and 48 hours later they were fine. Smile

My Staffie got it last year - only non Lab that the vet has seen get the symptoms. Shocked

They reckon it is something in the water at FM (the only place they all had been within the previous 48 hours) that the dogs are either getting bitten by or infected by. My Staffie didn't go in the water as she is petrified of ducks but spent 3 weeks camped up in the site there.

Just letting you know incase you get a Droopy Tail! It was the first I had heard of it and we used to spend hours down FM.

Thanks for the warning Leigh... I will have to remember not to go into the water when I next visit Laughing

Thanks for the warning Leigh - just googled "droopy tail" and came up with this

"Droopy tail syndrome" is often cured with a nice treat! Laughing

Seriously, I wonder if the warning signs "Water Untreated" is something to do with this?
