Report: Only 32 hounds were present at the ‘Brow ‘on Monday evening and ten of them came from the same kennel!
Only four contested the long senior trail and this was reduced to three ,as a race, when lady Helen took a wrong turn at the start and from there was playing ‘catch up’.
Crossing the Cold Fell road before their descent and then uphill climb to the downhill finish- Serenity established a winning lead when ‘Malone put in a circle and ‘ Rumours’ sat and waited for her. Lady Helen made up a lot of lost ground but ‘shirked’ at the River Ehen’ in the last field.
The pups and, on top of the table, Daisy Dream, who was fed and watered before any other finished. The guide to her performance is the comparable time with the maidens-just two seconds slower.!
And in the maidens -a few with a chance, sorted out ,not for the first time, by the river crossing. Rooster popped up followed by Glory who on the long grass of the final field, stayed on strongly to beat it by a dog length with the unclipped Free Spirit a close third.
