    Commit to Valla, then kirsten will be hooked on the KC gatherings and oldbar will be a certainy, do some research Im sure you could get away with hiding the pup in the van with you.

    Good point and a number of dog friendly beaches and also nothing stopping you from walking pup on a lead through all the Valla activities.

    Mate, even I wouldn't go barefoot at Old bar in the conditions of last year. very slippery, very wet & very windy - can't see what you're treading on. I'm counting on the weather being much, much better this year. Cheers, Mark
