Report. Nothing about how far they won by but what happened outside, only, because that is where the afternoon was spent.
The seniors and conclusions drawn was that the third , fourth and fifth hound would have been a lot closer if they hadn’t ‘missed’ the gate, at the last road , first one way then the other, just enough to count ,perhaps/ other than that not taking away from Jenny who had led practically all the way.
The senior maidens and first go to work the roadside wall at the first road, they managed to ‘drush ‘it- combination of weight perhaps? They ran wide in the field prior to crossing the last road and, on crossing the road ,which gives the hounds three options, they took all three -the hen run- the wrong gate and the right gate.
Now having explained the three options -along come the pups -Marlou on her own then ‘Daisy’ and ‘Jenny’s who found route number four, at first Hard Knott was favourite then a trip around somebody’s field then over the wall – by this time the rest had ‘flown’.
The last two trails went to order both winners led across the last road.
Just a scouting tale Two young ladies in a convertible stopped at the red flag ,then started to edge forward- consequently I moved forward , waving the flag and mouthing ‘stop there’ -Again they edged forward – ‘Please I said the hounds are crossing can you stop, ‘ Sorry ‘she said’ we’ re trying to ask you where Eskdale camping site is ‘Then the bloody wall fell down. Who will put it back – Well I left a message-‘ quite a number of old coins were lodged in the wall.’ Volunteers quick march!
