The Journey to Agility

We went to Agility class today.

It is such a long journey to Stokes Poges in Gerrards Cross that I feel I have already done agility by the time I get there – jumping on and off a bus, jumping onto a moving escalator, running through underground tunnels, riding the tube, up the escalator, onto a train at Marylebone Station, off the train and up the stairs and through the turnstile – into a cab before finally arriving at Stokes Poges for more jumping, running and stopping.  The difference is I get lots of treats there.

Getting on the 14 bus at Beaufort Street

Arriving at South Kensington Station, we went down the escalators

I didn’t want to get on them so Mummy carried me

At South Kensington, we took the Piccadilly tube  …

to Piccadilly Circus …

We went up stairs …

Walked through tunnels to get to the Bakerloo Line

Finally we’re at Marylebone Station where we …

Went up escalators

I really don’t like them even though I know how to get on them

Here we are at British Rail Marylebone station – so many people

We had to wait for the platform number to get onto Chiltern Rail

Here we are at Platform 5

I am tired already

They just announced Gerrards Cross so I jumped off my seat and went to the door.

Got into a taxi at the station and another 10min ride to Stokes Poges

May’s comment: And then we came back all that way again. I was exhausted! But worth every minute of it. Darcy did amazingly well. She went onto all the equipment and did really well.  Her weave needs practising. But it was quite warm and when Sue and I were speaking, she went to the tunnel to get some shade! Clever girl!  Agility is perfect for her – it stimulates her mind and makes her think. She’s absolutely knackered at the end of it. I too had to learn how to take her from one equipment to another. Well, I guess the road to being good at anything isn’t an easy road.
