    Poo bags in every bag and the pockets of every pair of jeans, every coat and every fleece I own! For some reason they even find their way into my dressing gown pocket!

    I usually do semi-urban walking - parks, canal bank etc, so tend not to look too scruffy. Jeans, top, fleece. A selection of Regatta coats including several 3-in-1 (waterproof shell with fleece liner). Shoes range from sandals to Crocs to waterproof fleece-lined boots (can't abide wellies). Scarf and gloves, when required.

    Dry cat food as treats and Kong or tennis ball for games in pockets. And phone (used as flashlight at nights!).


    Just to say that K9 knitters are no more and now its woollies for waggers!

    Just be prepared for the fact that you may spend a ton of money on loads of wet weather walking gear and then find your doggie is one that refuses to go out in the rain! ;)

    (Don't skimp on wellies, and get ones that come nearly to the knee for when you're in deep mud or snow, nothing worse than snow in your wellies.)

    I prefer old trackie bottoms, as they don't get quite as wet as jeans, in winter stick a pair of leggings or tights underneath. A warm hat, waterproof jacket, body warmer, gloves.

    If you live in a country area, get yourself and the dog a hi-vis jacket.

    A torch is a must (make sure it is well charged), and if you hear a car (Don't wear earphones), shine the torch towards the car.

    Bread bags work just as well as poo bags as they have no air holes.
