Report.Buttermere in autumn, majestic and doing a fair trade in the lay by was the ice cream van ,better than the summer months.

The senior trail and nothing changed much from halfway where Try Again led from Dawn and Tommy’s Legacy as they approached the downhill section before the last field they had trouble finding the trod in the bracken, apparently the trailer had the same problem, nevertheless the kennelmates Dawn and Tommy’s sorted it out and came away to fight out the finish, the former winning by a couple of lengths.

A similar story in the maidens where again two hounds broke clear and My Way got the better of Out Of the Blue with Maybe back in third with the ticketing hounds close up.

The puppy trail and always to the fore was Lone Rebel and he easily recorded his twelfth victory at the expense of Marlou and it was no change in the last as the favourite Overwater Bessie led through the fell with Barton ,Jimmy Choo and Carrick, these four were clear of the rest and that’s how they finished.

As we left the field it was noticed that Ron had left his tea van in the field, obviously for Thursday’s trail. I hope nobody nicks it!
