Report : From the view of a scout- Firstly it was a big improvement from Sunday especially concerning the juniors , who apparently on Sunday practically went round the  trail twice. They made no errors on the first section and apart from the odd one successfully navigated the other road crossings.

The senior trail was once a\gain dominated by Endure and it was only  in the dying strides that Jazz Singer got up to win by the narrowest of margins. There was also an excellent performance by Persian Prince in third place.

General James , a pre season fancy for the championship, held on for victory over Liz . His namesake, once more back in the fray, shouting him home.

It was quite a sight watching 46 hounds charging over the first road crossing and we managed to count them , Studdy got 45 , Ed got 44, Wiggy got 41 and I got double vision. It was a Cracking Race , just ask Bill Mellon.

Further to Sundays trails a lady waiting at the road crossing was sworn at by somebody in a car , she made a complaint of which we apologised and would deal with it. The moral is treat people with respect even if she did blow her horn.
