Summary
A chaotic and lively dog-walk on Hembury Fort near Honiton in Devon kicks off the new series. Nigel, the rebellious Golden Doodle, upstages Clare Balding and guests.
Clare's human companions are Amy, Jenny, and Anna. They met at the school-gate and formed a strong bond that has helped them through many health challenges. Jenny's thyroid problems led unexpectedly to her launching a successful dog-walking business.
They take Clare on one of their regular walks, across Hembury Fort near Honiton, and explain what friendship through walking means to them.
Produced in Bristol by Karen Gregor.
