Dog Friendly Mines

[Cantclimbtom]

Maybe you could hang the bags on windscreen wipers of random cars. That way they can take it home and bin it for you. Everyone's happy that way!

Dogs are the enemy of the outdoors, they crap everwhere except where their owners gather thier pets crap  into plastic bags to festoon nearby trees

What a bitter, miserable excuse of a person you are.

And you can't spell...

but dog owners still litter the countryside with them little black plastic bags full of dog turds

It's so hard for us responsible dog owners to know what to do for the best.
After being told by some busy-body that it was "terribly antisocial" to leave my dog's poo on the path I thought I would do the right thing, so I started bagging it and hanging it out of the way. But it seems even that's not enough for some.

Is this a joke that's gone over my head?

carry the bag home or until you find a dog bin (that isn't already overflowing) ffs..

Umm, he is taking the pi$$... (but not the p00)

I reckon all hounds should either be fitted with dog nappies, or carry a reverse St Bernard brandy barrel style container to do, and carry their business around in.

Oh I don't think I could do that  :yucky:
Some of those very cheap bags are so thin you can actually smell what's inside!
It's bad enough having to carry it to the next tree.

As an also mountain biker, I'm fed up witj having to clean dog turds from my wheels every time I go for a ride. And on the last few walks in the Peak District I had to dodge folks with unrully hounds.

So when my dog, on a lead, was hit by a mountain biker going off-piste.....? The vet's bill for that would make your eyes water. The biker had no insurance naturally. Good job I had.

Not ALL mountain bikers are arrogant to$$ers and not ALL dog owners are irresponsible either.
Just a cross section of society aren't we? All of us.

Very true, the day you tread in a dog turd and walk it into the nice new white shag pile in your living room you hate all dog owners, the nest day when you want to walk in the park with your mate and his dog and the sign says 'no dogs' the council are a bunch of fascists, the day your held up behind a cyclist on the way to an important meeting all cyclists are b*stards, the next day when you're wobbling your way back home from the pub on your trusty pushbike to the accompanying horns of traffic behind all drivers are impatient a$$holes.

The problem is always the way other people do it.....

I have a rule in life which applies to several work, social and recreational situations:

"If in doubt, double-bag it."

I can't remember the ad on the TV but there were two chaps watching what they though was a woman trying to reverse into a parking bay saying " my god its so easy she cant drive for toffee " then a fella stepped out of the car, they carried on saying " well it was very tight really got to congratulate his driving skills" and so on . What was that ad ?  :-\

Dare we say dog friendly caves as well guys . Be nice its a cave and mine site 

 

[Mrs Trellis]

Nigel Dibben's dog used to enjoy the Alderley Edge mines.

Wood Mine:-

Engine Vein:-

 

[coggy]

Just out of interest I spoke to a vet, he didnt like the idea of dogs spending time in mines with loose floors etc as that will damage dogs paws.

 

[Cantclimbtom]

It's the same as a dog walking over sharp scree and coarse rock on a hillside. If the dog isn't used to it they can hurt the pads on their paws, but if they're conditioned to scampering about over rocks up hill down dale etc then they'll be fine.

Obviously a mine with acidic pools rusting metal sheets or other hazards would be bad but OP is specifically seeking dog friendly ones, so I think it should be OK.

 

[Paul Marvin]

True and that is why I am asking for "dog friendly caves/mines " the clue is in the title  :

 

[Mrs Trellis]

The Alderley Edge mines are human friendly too - dry, sandy, and warm (c9 deg C - warm in winter and cool in summer) and you can go a long way without getting wet or doing much crawling and/or climbing.

I haven't visited the Shropshire copper mines eg Clive Mine but these are in similar Keuper sandstone to Alderley Edge and so I'd posit these may be dog friendly too.
