WESTIE DOG DOES AGILITY WHILE HIKING – RUISLIP WOOD NATURE RESERVE

Hiking the Ruislip Wood Nature Reserve was an experience unlike any other. My Westie dog was determined to have more fun than me. The Ruislip Wood Nature Reserve is a stones throw from where I live and I can’t believe this was only my first visit here. Thick wooded area, little creeks, a pond, lake and beautiful trails were all part of the hiking experience!
