Happy to help, leaving Haverhill on Saturday the 6th to come up via Cambridge and Shropshire (picking up poultry!). Will be back in Lanark that day so could keep him overnight until the Sunday. Am driving down from Lanark day before with elderly mum so can't offer to go any further, sorry.

I know of a couple of people who are coming up from Devon to the Smallholder festival in Lanark on the 27th September - I know it's a bit longer time wise but if you think it would help just let me know and I'll ask :-)

Oh Karen that would be a great help, thank you

I will be at Checkendon on that Saurday to a bikejoring event with the dogs, if it helps- may be able to go a bit more north to meet someone?

I could do the bit between junction 23 and 24a on the m6, it's a bit further than I'd like to go but you can't get off the m6 going north at junction 24, so I'd have to go a bit further towards Wigan thans safe, but if it helps....

Hi I am in the borders A1 side and could do something, even if it's keeping the pup overnight. I can float between Alnwick / wooler and up to the Fort /asda at Edinburgh if that helps? But again would need notice.

Thanks all but it seems the boy is not that interested in sheep at the minute, have decided to let him go to a home as a pet instead.

beautiful boy l am gutted. Nessa will make sure he is housed with the right family

is it only boreray sheep you have kelly? as borerays tend to split (like soays) with a dog. just incase you didnt know...

we had a shepherd and dog try and herd ours up for 2 hrs and he couldnt catch a single sheep.

I'm going down to smallholder show and back up to north of Aberdeen if that is of any help for Happy Hippy's route - I have a kennel, space so can stay till next move

I am just waiting on a flock of Babydoll southdown sheep to take to our new croft, 21 acres.
Thought it would have made life easier having a dog to work them and save our legs !

Going to the sheep dog trials in Tain tomorrow, see how the pro's do it
