REPORT. The British weather, a phone call to Eskdale Saturday morning to confirm that the show was on and to let the organisers know that due to the weather I wouldn’t be present. The answer, the sun is shining ,the field is dry ,what’s the problem, the problem there’s a foot of water in the main road , all fire appliances are on full flood alert and the wind and rain is due west..

Apparently the depression was over Millom ( nothing new then) and missed out Eskdale and therefore out came the sunglasses , chair, and an ice cream.

Oh there was five trails and another Rosthwaite double , this time in the shape of Bewitched and Cherish, the former won the restricted trail ,or the silent finish event, we want a short trail but we’d rather not win!

In contrast Jenny’s Aura,with all guns blazing, notched up win number 13 and is now only 4 behind Endure , she won with plenty in hand as did Miterdale Shadow in the juniors  and in the senior maidens Kinniside Beauty held off the three challengers to record an overdue success, whilst her four kennel mates also finished in the first six.
