BBC One Show – Feature – 11th February 2015 – WATCH HERE!

On Wednesday 11th February 2015, our fantastic sport gained ‘National’ exposure thanks to the BBC’s One Show!

A feature presented by Michael Douglas, introduced Hound Trailing to the masses along with showcasing the speed, beauty and true sportmanship of our Lakeland pastime.

With guest appearances from Margaret Baxter (Secretary), three generations of the Barrow/Bland’s and many familiar faces of the association, the feature has been really well received.
