Report : A new venue , spoilt by the weather, nevertheless the potential is there for the future, long finish, good viewing., accessible field. I say good viewing , on a clear day I can see for miles and miles but the hills today were mist shrouded to such an extent I nearly lost a tenner on summat I couldn’t see.

The seniors and they came in two by two, the windy conditions combined with a fresh venue somewhat contributed to the hounds being spread the length of the fell but not taking anything away from  Tommy’s who kept on strongly to beat Willow Bay and Sambuca.

The senior maidens and four hounds came clear the indomitable Fireman Sam in front , but it was the finishing speed of Summer Rose that won the day beating another sharp finisher in Maybe with swinging in third was Sultan.

Now for the juniors and could the Major pull one back on his rival, not if Black Legend can rid of his seconditis and he did, but not without trying , reluctantly winning from Nikita and Red Will.

Only six Puppy Maidens and getting away from the other five ,or Escaping as it’s called, was Evie Moore’s charge Escape and the best finish of the afternoon concerned the next four home.
