    I use a glow key ring on my dog's collar.I got it when Mom started losing her eyesight.Really bright and not very big.I hope you treated your wife for suggesting you look for it.

    I noticed Nun's Cross Farm in the background. Do you have any stories to tell? How bleak it must have been for those who once lived there. Is it ever used now?

      The leat passes by Nun’s Cross - I have a quick chat about it and look at the Cross in this video - ua-cam.com/video/0YO9pRr_zEk/v-deo.html - Nun’s Cross must have been quite miserable, but not half as miserable as Swincombe Farm on the other side of the mire, there is a letter on record from the farmer pleading to be released from his tenancy because it was so dreadful.

    I’m so glad you found it! That’s great that it still works and survived under water for a week and 7 minutes!! I’m thinking of getting one for my Bella’s collar. It would help finding her in the dark.

    What was the name of the dog light. I normally us a flashing collar but it looks tacky and cheap. Max is always complaining that he wants a better one lol.

      Hi Steve, theres a link in the description. Ruffwear Beacon. It's not the cheapest thing in town, but blimey! I was gobsmacked when I found it and it still worked. It had 3 colours of LED and different flash modes.

    Good bit of detective work there Shamus. Glad you found it and somewhat impressed that it held up after it's week long aquatic adventure.👍

    Hi Shamus and Petra. Always a bonus to find something valuable after you were sure that you had lost it.. Nice too when something turns out to be more durable than expected! Once again It is obvious of the time and effort that you are spending on your video productions. You nearly have 1000 subscribers now so your hard work is paying off. Tom

    I love the ruffwear gear 🥰 my dog has a regular harness from them, but for his backpack harness, Marley has the orange Helios one. I just chose it because it was the first one I saw online that had detachable backpacks incase he gets fed up carrying his own food and bowls 🙊🙊🐶💖 edit- I should also say he has a nite ize mini glowstick light, it’s not super bright....but....it floats! 😝 maybe a better idea for a dog like Petra 🤪

      Outdoors Inspiration yes she looks very happy wearing it 🥰 my dogs a 17kg staffy cross and he’s very spoiled, so I’ll need to see how the pack carrying situation goes 🤣 I’m brand new to camping and due to the covid lockdown at summer, we didn’t get out but hopefully we will go an autumn trip really soon before the Scottish winter arrives 🙈🥶
