@ Dapple Grey for Sleigh London and Huntley have been given a free map to help them enjoy their Winter Tour! Before unfolding it, they read the cover: Boats & Bergs On the only island part of the tour, the pets are picked up at the landing stage by a horse-drawn sleigh and are driven through snowy pines to board their awaiting boat which will take them on the main part of the day's adventure. They will see mountains, icebergs, fun little sandy or rocky coves, swathes of trees lining the coast, snowy island villages and will be enthralled towards the end by the tale of the spooky Troll Lake ... those of a nervous disposition will find exploring the night's accommodation will lift their spirits however! It is a beautiful house with a log fire to warm their paws by while they wind down for the night with mugs of hot chocolate. Dapple Grey for Sleigh Just hear those sleigh bells jingling Ring-ting-tingling too Come on, it's lovely weather For a sleigh ride together with you Outside the snow is falling And friends are calling, "Yoo hoo" Come on, it's lovely weather For a sleigh ride together with you

@ Sunrise Wood Izzy dived into her rucksack and scrabbled about in it, searching. “There's no mention in Jingle Bells how jolly cold an open sleigh is, London!” she said. “I haven't warmed up since—I'm going to put some extra layers on!” Izzy emerged clutching a scarf and a woolly hat. "But just breathe in that crisp air!" said London. “You can feel it doing you good.”
Sunrise Wood Picture the quiet of this wood as you travel through it, the sleigh following previous tracks, the only sounds in the stillness being the muffled clop of the horses' hooves, the jingle of the harness and the swish of the runners through the snow.
