A quieter more remote side of a popular national park.
Discovering the Rhinogydd Wilderness
We love trips to Wales (UK) but sometimes trips to such popular locations can be quite busy and overwhelming for the dogs, especially Cleo with her reactivities.
On this weekend we decided to visit a wonderfully remote mountain range called the Rhinogydd, its known as the last true wilderness of Wales. I love seeing the dogs running free in such a wild and rocky habitat full of beautiful heather, waterfalls, mountain lakes and non stop 360 views of peaks and even the sea.
Pure Joy in Nature with the Dogs
My heart is always so full and happy sharing hikes with the dogs to see them so happy faced and waggy tailed enjoying the simplicity of just being surrounded by nature getting muddy paws from all the zooming around they both love to do.

Preparing for a Safe Mountain Adventure
On this particular day we thought the Expedition Pack Eco and Expedition Belt Eco would be perfect, its really important your dog wears the correct gear especially in the mountains. We had planned a 7 mile hike through this wilderness so it gave us the chance to pack a first aid kit and extra food for the dogs which most importantly was really quick and easy to access if we needed it.
