Of course it is, the one thing people won't make fun of you over is loving animals. 

Except sheep, but some members apparently take that too far with them anyway.

Ok that is interesting, I am part of a Jack Russell forum and that what was I thinking of with the comment in terms of appropriate place.  He is a Jack Russell cross Border Terrier, but luckily for me he has a border terrier temperament, much calmer and less serial killer than a Jack Russell.  I have had 4 JRT's over the years before him and he is the best behaved by quite a margin.

Do they discriminate against you because he isn’t pure JR? So they exclude you by doing events for dogs with racial purity and stuff like that and making jokes about halfcast hounds?

No mate, they are all embracing.

Jack Russells were considered mongrels until 2016 so they don't get to be snooty.

A Parsons Russell is the only true pure 'Jack Russell'.

I'm running for cover.

Went out walking with the Dear Boy today, 11k round trip up river to the Village of Golant.  Where my Mrs came from.  We walked up the old coach road but I can't imagine anything that size getting through now.   Golant is a beautiful little village with a tidal Pill created by the railway line going through.    If you were to follow the railway line it would take you to Lostwithiel one way and Fowey the other. 

The last pictures are of my dream house.  The Old Sawmills at Bodmin Pill about a 1k down river from Golant.  My Dad worked there for the best part of ten years when I was young.  I spent many hours there as a boy during school holidays.      Idyllic part of my childhood that I remember very well.   

Little bit of an obstacle on the path up from Bodmin Pill.

First of all, cracking photos , looks like a great walk 

 

Is this what you're referring to as 'the Old Coach road '  ?

 

 

Is this it on the map, if so I'd love to ride up there

It is, if you follow the Saints way towards Golant then turn left at Penventinue to Lanherriot Farm, not on the map, and the old coach road is just  on the left, you can't miss it there is nothing else there.  It is possible by bike but a bit challenging, I did it on a DT175 many years ago.

I'd also be looking for a way to get into that railway tunnel if it is abandoned

Nice jaunt out on the cycle today. Average speed is pretty low because we stopped off a couple of times and then one of the guys got a puncture. Anyway, the route, the gang (apart from Pascale, who took the photo) and a couple of pics from the ruins of a Roman house we looked at.

Had a walk around Luxulyan Valley this morning with the Dear Boy.  Only 6K but stunning up there.  No people either the way I like it.    We had a look at the remains of the old winding engine and at Treffrey Viaduct.

Certainly a nice part of the world there, mate.

Glad to get out from under a merc to see that.

Another outing, this one was on the non-ebike. Headwind on the first half of the ride was tiring, but the return trip was better.
