Another blog from Baz.

Not about Hound Trailing but involves hound trailers. Having purchased £10’s worth of prawns fresh from the Irish Sea and placing them on the sink, apparently still alive and waiting for the pot to boil- this happened!

“Mam that bag moved ”

” Yep, but it wont be in a minute when this waters boiled”

Mother turns her back and daughter half inches the prawns and is away on her toes in the direction of their homeland. She returns the prawns to the sea and all live happy ever after!  that includes the Turkey’s and the lobster.

Batty’s in the fray again – this time he wants smoking banning on the trail field- saying this he was stood behind the only cigar smoker- cousin Brown who choked on his smoke when he heard the gripe but turned to laughter when somebody said ” Aye and we should ban moaning and groaning ”

Ambleside sports and according to my sources the ladies queuing for the toilet had a cock-eyed view of the men’s urinal.

Mike Moorhead was in full voice when Alfie aka Yorkshire Lad came in second place in the maidens, little did he know that as he shouted is hound home the one in front also responded to Alfie and came home in first place.

Parked on Scale Hill near Loweswater, in anticipation of some hounds crossing the road, opened the boot to get a red flag only to find a recently acquired industrial toilet roll precariously balanced in the rear of the car. Freed from its restraint it tumbled and rolled down the hill towards the car park ,which it entered at a rate of knots just in front of a startled motorist followed by Laal Pat trying to retrieve it.

Welcome to hound trailing when Mel Dooley’s Cuchulainn , after holding every chance in the puppy trail , decided to do his own version of the Rydal round. Its not the first time that the hounds have made a mess of the Ambleside finish. Back in the early seventies , Mel’s Grandad hid behind the tree on the left of the finish after moving people aside, only to find the leading pup run towards him putting himself out of contention – the pups name Sherwin and the trainer  Uncle Baz.
