We would just like to take this<br />
opportunity to say a huge thank you to<br />
the Rangers from the Cut and all the<br />
volunteers who braved the miserable<br />
weather to lend a hand. We had a great<br />
time and we hope you did too.<br />
It's a pity the rain plagued us for most of<br />
the day, but we all had a good laugh. We<br />
handed out some valuable up-to-date<br />
information to visitors to the tent. The<br />
dogs all got great walks in beautiful<br />
surroundings whilst we chatted to fellow<br />
walkers and handed out more leaflets<br />
and dog bags. The Rangers have<br />
expressed their appreciation to all those<br />
who came to help highlight The Outdoor<br />
Access Code, Ground Nesting Birds, Dog<br />
Fouling, and the updated Out of Control<br />
Dog Law which was brought into effect<br />
in February 2011. Clyde Muirshiel<br />
Regional Park<br />
Rangers welcome all "Responsible Dog<br />
Owners" getting Out & About using our<br />
