Join me and Miss Nancy the greyhound for a perfect afternoon exploring and swimming on Dartmoor. We found the perfect place to stop in the campervan on route back to Cornwall, where we could walk on the moors, find a river for my first time river swim, commune with the Tors and stone circles as well as explore the lovely village of Belstone. Despite having soaking wet feet from wading across the sodden moors and nearly getting washed away in the river, or perhaps because of it, I had the most peaceful, wholesome time and felt so refreshed for the second leg of our journey.
A little about us: I adopted my ex-racing greyhound Miss Nancy three years ago, it was a massive learning curve for both of us and we have become the best of friends, who love going on outdoor adventures, wild swims, van camping and finding vegan food out and about! We make videos showing what it’s like to have a greyhound as a pet, the beautiful outdoors, vanlife, and life with a greyhound!
When we aren’t making videos I am a jeweller and illustrator, you can check out my work here: www.victoriagr...
My new website with greyhound info and illustrated merch: www.MissNancys...

Pretty much impenetrable to us but a great home for lots of birds and other small animals. The yellow flowers are such a nice contrast too and when they go to seed, if you're somewhere quiet and you listen carefully, you can hear the seed pods crackling as they open constantly throughout the day. 😁

I'd certainly like to add my get well wishes to Miss Nancy. Miss Nancy is demonstrating her desire to be vegan with eating a bit of sheep's poo 🤭 and who knows maybe that will add some healthy gut flora. I'm sure you know already lots about the power and importance of the gut microbiome. It's amazing isn't it? You did find a lovely little hamlet and such an amazing pool to swim in. Hats off to you it's very brave, as I watched the video I was thinking how the current must have been really strong because of the way you were moving in the water. Only the other day I was talking with a group of wild swimmers and they were extoling the benefits of it and I was agreeing but at the moment I'm all words and no action. 😆 You seem to be doing all the right things to keep strong mentally through a very difficult period of time. So I think you will inspire a lot of people including myself through the things you get up to with Miss Nancy in your videos. You demonstrate how accessible it is to do activities which are proven to be beneficial to our mental health and in these times that's needed more than ever. So kudos to you Tori! 🙏

🙏 is that what she is doing, I shouldn’t have stopped her! Sadly she has taken so many antibiotics in the past couple of months I don’t think her gut can have anything good left in it. I am giving her robotics but who knows how much that is helping 😖 I was wondering if anyone would notice the look on my face in the video, because when I started doing the front crawl I was actually concerned and so glad to get back on the rock I looked up at the camera and I had a pretty strange look on my face 🤣 I do think they are right! I need to do it more often though, it has been making me feel super good when I go in, but still part of my brain says why would you want to swim today its cold and wet in there! Strange thing the human brain 🧠 Thank you, to be honesty I have been finding it vey hard just trying not to fall apart, you’ve really only soon my good moments here. Keeping on doing the right things to be mentally strong is so hard, but I am trying and for me it’s being outside, it’s tough because I’ve hardly been getting time outdoors past couple weeks but trying to take advantage when I can and it immediately makes me feel stronger! 🙏

@@missnancysdayoff I wonder if they make probiotics for dogs? Also I wonder if there is a way of replacing the gut flora in dogs after a course of antibiotics. In humans of course we would take some kind of probiotic or eat fermented foods. Just wondering if that would work for dogs too? 🤔 Does miss Nancy have trouble keeping food down or with diarrhea? You still looked very poised in the video so I don't think many would have noticed. Perhaps the videos and your outings are a useful distraction. Sometimes distractions are a good way for us to cope with difficult feelings and situations. Something you might find helpful, it certainly was for me are some online courses which are put together by the Pentreath Recovery College Cornwall. The courses are live presentations with a booklet so you can interact if you wish. It's not therapy, and does not try to be. It's more to do with teaching the skills necessary to become more resilient to stress and coping with stress when it's there. The courses are free and they are conducted over Teams or Zoom. You can refer your self through their website. I know the tutor Sarah who is a super nice person, she presents a lot of the courses. Most importantly she totally loves dogs. And amusingly one or more ends up featuring in her presentations. Take a look if you think that's something you would be interested in.

Hi Tori, you look lifted this week and glowing and happy, yay! Good to see that Nancy character back on her feet and out adventuring, the ground looked a little squish-tastic! Have to visit that bar some time, and I assume that’s your new house called “The Tors”! Hope you have been good this week 🙏❤️

I won't bother asking for a water temperature stat as whatever it was, it would have been way too cold for me. Well done! River swimming can be wonderful in a moderate flow. I went into a shallow white(ish) water in Quetico Park in Ontario with fins and mask. Being swept over the rocks maybe 3 feet below was like flying. Also, there were deep pools off to the side where you could dive down among the large fish circling there. Once near the bottom you could look up and see the river rushing by above. Fabulous perspective. Don't be afraid to see how the world looks from underneath the water.

@missnancysdayoff 5 ай бұрын

That sounds amazing, i think i need to go with someone else to be confident enough for that, when the current took me down the river it was super fun but when i tried to swim back up and realised how strong the flow was i did have a moment of concern! 🙈 that’s a great idea for filming i must remember a waterproof case next time 🙏

@johnm2879 5 ай бұрын

@@missnancysdayoffI don't know if there are any rivers big enough and with extended mild rapids to support this kind of experience in the UK. Rivers are tricky because there can be underwater entanglements and, as you experienced, you can't really swim back up against a strong current. The US and parts of Europe have some places where you can float blissfully down stream. Great on the right day. Doing it in the wild can present unexpected problems. I was scouting a river in BC which looked really promising for a river snorkel with my young nephews. Halfway across a field on the way there I found myself in the company of annoyed rattlesnakes. Outing cancelled. I might not have even considered it had the relatives shared with me in a timely fashion that the mountain the river skirted was known locally as "Rattlesnake Mountain". Miss Nancy would need a really benign current and a padded rubber raft and I can't suggest where these deluxe facilities might exist.

🙏 so glad. Well land ownership in UK is pretty complex (to me anyway) most of it is owned by someone, but a lot of Dartmoor I think is common land that anyone can access. Sadly most rivers are apparently owned by someone (how can you own flowing water?!) but i think it was ok here. Maybe someone else can answer this question better! ❤️

Poor greyhounds are not the most cuddly friendly dogs that people want as part of their family. Dogs do have personalities, some are over excited and eager to please, greyhounds always seem sad and depressed, I don't know why. Although they are racing, hunting dogs, they are scared and skittish when travelling over rough or overgrown terrain. Great video of part of the country I'm not very familiar with, cheers.

Miss nancy, I have been to cornwall ans dartmoor, many moons ago. I was in the Royal Navy in HMS Raleigh in Devon when I was 16 years old. We had races between teams, mapreading and orienteering which I fully enjoyed, as I had never seen or experienced this part of the country before. I'm from Liverpool and there is no such amazing natural beauty or scenery. Anyway I was just a young school leaver. I learnt that the navy was not for me and I resented authority, adults telling me I wasn't doing well enough, it was a bullying system of abuse. Aside from that, I have always loved the beauty of the countryside , it's like a religious experience which is hard to put into words. I also do love animals, particularly dogs, who are much loved family members.
