As I left home this morning there was a little nip in the air,but by the time we arrived at Kings hat the sun was beginning to warm the air. We decided to walk the other way from the car park in the hope we would find the other bridge. We found it very easily and the dogs had a quick dip before we continued on our way.This is a very pleasant walk as the track winds through the heather and up and down the slopes. Every so often the smell of the heather reaches you on the breeze. It smells a little of honey. Groups of ponies were grazing here and there. Although we could see the raod in the distance it was so quiet and peaceful. We should have brought Breakfast with us as in the shelter of the gentle slopes it was warm enough to sit. There are several little valleys here and this is very deceiving, it was hard to decide which path we had walked, on our last visit.The gentle curves of the tracks are misleading and it is not difficult to lose ones way in the forest.
Missy and Taivas love running through the heather chasing each other , or rolling just for fun. They find it very hard to sit still to pose for pictures and at times we have to be careful they don't knock us over as they race around.
Very soon we are back at the beaulieu river and the dogs have a play in the water....Missy wants to swim and chase sticks whils Taivas prefers to paddle and splash in the water. A couple of hours have soon passed by in these wonderful surroundings We are so lucky to have a whole Forest to walk in.

Maybe Kings Hat is my favourite of all places you walk - I love the bridges and the valleys.
Its too hard to chose.
You got a lot of good pics of Taivas, where does the name Taivas come from - does it have a meaning?
Taivas is finnish for Heaven
