Huntingdon Riverside Park

We always like to take Cooper on as many outings as we can, and one weekend, we went to a little park next to the Great River Ouse in Huntingdon.  It was overcast and wet, go figure, so we dressed warm and with old shoes we hit the park around mid day.  The car park was easy to find, however, we had to "Pay and Display," they call it, to park, so we dropped a pound for just entering the park.  Then we followed some nice small paths along the river and got to see lots of water fowl flying and swimming around the river.  Sometimes, Cooper would see one he wanted to "befriend" and chase them into the water.  As we continued, we crossed a few small streams that fed into the river and each one had a cute little bridge.  When we got to the end, there was a small quay perpendicular to the 14th century ‘Old Bridge’.  There along the quay, Cooper got to meet some very large swans that weren't as frightened as the ducks and seagulls he had met before.  These swans rapidly approached him, hissing and bulking up feathers along the way.  Cooper wasn't having it.  We quickly returned to the topside of the quay area and soon (after Lindsay took a few pictures) we walked back to the car park and finished our excursion.  Cooper was muddy from nose to tail, so just like our old beach trips, he got a nice bath when we got home.
