Report; Wasdale valley on a beautiful Monday evening, breathless scenery ,blue sky and dark forbidding fells and the mountain rescue helicopter and a bloke with a parachute.

The senior trail and only five runners when they crossed the road a blanket could have covered four of them only ‘Ranger’ was out of touch but it wasn’t long before he was in front and the further they went his lead increased.  He won by the proverbial’mile’ chased home by  Miterdale Proper.

The puppy trail and a chance for Daisy Dream to get back on the winning trail but she was thwarted by the all the way success of Dairy Lightning . I say all the way  but at one stage he was passed by two herdwicks, obviously more sure footed in the rough terrain.

In the last and here we had a trail dominated by two kennels ,the Steeles and the Napiers  .Miterdale  Prim won by a 100 metres with four Foxparkes finishing close together then another Miterdale  There were that many purple hounds in the last that Caroline was roped in as slipper and catcher , she drove home with purple hands.
