REPORT. It was getting dark, a gloomy night , one trail to come and all the way from Cleator came Veteran Night  Vision, a car full of supporters, and named for the occasion but , alas . he aspired to no better than third,still a four pointer , better than nowt and what more a journey through the lakes to a delightful venue overlooking Windermere and in the distance the lights of Morecambe, that ‘s for those who stayed behind for the sing song led by chairman Baz, ” Two wheels on my wagon and I’m just rolling along”

The seniors and a change of trail led to a right mix up on the homeward turn, hounds were going in all directions heads up, no signposts , but it is intriguing how they all ended up on the finish. Marlou beating Lady Anne and Miterdale Shadow.

Now it was no secret that the pup trail was going to take part over much of the locals practice ground and like the seniors would they guess, As it happens none of them had run the last section but had spent all winter learning their trade on various sections of the trail . the answer they never put a foot wrong and finished 123, ahead of the unfortunate Huntsman’s Pair who lost ground at the start.

Super Sun not Super Stition that’s us on 13.

A note the road may have been resurfaced and the temptation to go a little faster might be there but that rock just before the entrance would stop a tank and it did!
