Report. The penultimate weekend of the season , a nice day , a good crowd , good trails what more could you ask for ?. A cup of tea but what happened to the tea van ?

The senior trail and last Thursday the report said ” where does “Roo” go in the marsh before the finish well! after today , who cares! she found her way through and kept on well to beat Menorah, the puzzle of the trail was – “Where was “Bessy ” going- after taking up the lead approaching the finish she turned uphill and climbed putting herself out of the race and her supporters as well.

On to the maidens and the majority of the runners were in with a chance at one stage or another. On the finish and Mickledore turned left after jumping the final obstacle leaving the race for kennelmate Out Of The Blue who also benefitted from Persian Prince’s reluctance to finish. An early wedding present for Liz and Tom.

The pup trail and Jenny’s Aura signed off with a bang winning easily and crowned puppy champion for 2016 with 34 wins.

The pup maidens and from a non- winner Captain Jack has now won two in a week. He beat Foxparke Rosie Lee and Miterdale Steel in a good race and still has one more opportunity on the final day of the season.

And the last trail resulted in the easiest win of the day as Songbird minus lynn won as she pleased from the next three which could have been a veterans trail, Kerrymore ,Artisan ( 6 year old and her first Buttermere trail) and Silver Spangle.

Report. Bracelet scored win number eighteen  to take her two clear in the senior championship at Seaton tonight . She won by ten yards from her old rival Endure who passed Try Again for second place, representing the Overwater kennel was “Bessy ” but she was in last place after making a few mistakes which proved costly in the end .

The pup trail developed into a three hound race and the three regulars Liz, General James and Silver Dusk finished in that order.

Only four non winners of which three were Foxparkes but the winner was the odd one out Captain Jack , there wasn’t much in the four of them, and that concludes the non-winners for 2016 and the one with the most points is Spring Rose.

Report. Bracelet showed in front ran on stoutly and put “Arnie” to the sword and goes one up in the senior championship. That was the senior trail at Millstone Moor , the first of four in the last fortnight of the season. Endure ran his usual” always in the first three” race, pipped this time on the line for second.

The senior maidens and ,as you were, as Saturday, the same first four in the same order, you don’t need a crystal ball, not only the same order at the finish but the same as Saturday for most of the trail,. It was only 26 secs slower than the seniors , and in the words of “anonymous” look out Bracelet on Monday.

The pup trail and Liz looked to have taken the initiative on the uphill climb, only to veer off with Just Mick and hand the race to Silver Dusk, who at the time was still in front and might have won anyway.

The puppy maidens and Speed On secured the HTA puppy maidens points winner with a win over Summer Rose and as the senior maidens it was a case of finish second on Saturday, move up one on Tuesday.

Report. On the final day of the Whitehaven area it was fitting that the senior trail went to a local kennel , that of Ken Routledge  together with joint owner Ian Hunter of Galemire veterinary and not forgetting Cath Logan , ever present slipper and catcher.  This two length win took her onto eleven for the season and joint third in the championship.

Jenny’s Aura had an easy victory in the pup trail ahead of Miterdale Copper, coming back after an enforced rest.

In the non- winners Miterdale Steel, a late bred pup, making only his fifth appearance, came tantalising close to winning but he swerved towards the Judge and was pipped on the line by Spring Rose.

Ladybird won the last in front of the “well supported” Casanova.

Report. Bracelet drew level at the top of the senior championship when she strode away from Endure to take win number 16 , the first of four meetings at Millstone Moor . Her challenger for the title Overwater Arnie was back in fifth place but that was his first run over the course and things could change next Tuesday. Also running an excellent race in third was Meadow Josie.

In the senior maidens once more leading them a merry dance was Jazz Band no worse for his Wednesday afternoons ” hunting with the pack ” adventure. He showed in front but Cracking Gold took up the running and came away on the uphill finish ,. Persian Prince got up on the line for second with Jazz Band in third .

The pup trail and a two hound finish with the favourite Silver Dusk coming clear of General James , Just Mick ( no others ) in third .

In the last just about all the puppy maidens left competed and Accolade,finishing rather well for an October maiden , won going away from Speed On and Breeze.

Report. Buttermere for the second time in a week , this time there was no Arnie but Bessy but it was Jenny that took the honours. She ground out a workmanlike performance in front of Thorn Dancer who’s connections are still trying to fathom out where she goes to in the marsh before the finish.

Perhaps the answer will appear in 2017 when the programme ” Park Life”  is aired on More 4 . It will be interesting to see what the drone filmed,. Is it the future , priced at around ten to twelve thousand on the road ,” no probs we will have two ” lol.

Jenny’s Aura notched up another win at the expense of Just Mick and Kenmore and popping up out of the gloom in the last was Menorah to complete a successful evening for Christine and Eric.

We are now entering the final straight of the 2016 season and the senior championship is still “up for grabs”. Can we predict the winner;  on paper- 4 trails at Millstone Moor where Arnie hasn’t run in the last two seasons , but Bracelet has won, Bower House where Arnie has won and then there is Seaton where this season Bracelet was fourth and Arnie was fifth. Perhaps the answer could be “Arnies”  kennel mate Overwater Bessy dual winner at Millstone Moor last season.

Report. Helton had a typical back – end look to it. But Enduring the change in the weather was BOB aka Endure winning for the second time this week holding off the challenge of Lady Anne with “Gracie “a close third.

The Hunt was out and apparently clashed with the maidens , this is not the first time and perhaps a change of date is needed. It didn’t seem to hinder Hunter’s Dale , despite the name , and he got the better of brother Cracking Gold to take first prize by half a length.

The final two events went to favourites with Buble and Razzle Dazzle.. Buble ,had a nip and tuck race with Sweet Harmony , just holding on by a neck with Misha in third. And Razzle Dazzle passed Artisan ” just short ” of the line to give the Dawsons a daytime double. That’s Wendy and travelling head lad Russel !

Report . The weather had a certain autumnal feel about it as the coats came out for the first time this “backend”. Gatesgarth at the bottom of Honister Pass played host to the trails and in the seniors Overwater Arnie scored his sixteenth victory of the season when he came from fourth to overhaul Jenny’s Delight, Huntsman’s Jenny and Ladybird. Once again the downhill path and the ground before the final jump put paid to many a chance.

Jenny’s Aura put the puppy championship to bed with  win number thirty one beating Kenmore by two lengths after dominating the race for most of the way ..

Kinniside Joe won the maidens comfortably from four Eskdale hounds and kennel mate “Bess “. There was one hound that had a bit of a chance but made a proper “tea party” of the finish.

Kerrymore rounded off a successful night with her fourth veteran  win of the season with the consistent Silver Spangle in Second.

The third trail in a week at Dearham and another senior winner. This time it was Endures turn and as Thursday night he came head to head with Bracelet but this time Bracelet made a hash of the last beck and subsequently gave Endure a five length lead which was being whittled away by the favourite but the line came in time for Endure who’s win ended a long sequence of seconds and thirds.

The pup trail and although Liz had it sewn up before crossing the beck she put in a spectacular leap to make certain of her 20th victory of the season. And the same six on Sunday as Thursday, just a slightly different order.

Westgate Belle, Cracking On and Razzle Dazzle had a rare old battle in the restricted , a length between each .

And once more in the veterans it was Artisan and Silver Spangle who had the race to themselves. The Kendal hound won readily, her thirteenth of the season at this level.

Report (  Third Attempt ) Against the backdrop of Kirk Fell, Lingmell, Great Gable , Wasdale show once more played host to people from all over the country , enjoying the unseasonal weather and the numerous attractions ,including four trails giving the spectators excellent views as the hounds negotiated the surrounding fells.

In the senior trail Overwater Bessy stole a march on the field on the approach to the finish and won readily from Thorn Dancer and Marlou , who has recovered well from her mishap earlier in the season.

The rest of the afternoon belonged to the Napiers as out of ten runners they had six tickets including the first three in the senior maidens and the first two in the puppy maidens. Foxparke Turbo set the ball rolling with a hard fought battle with kennel mate “So Be It “, winning by a head. “Rosie Lee” completed the double with a behind the judge victory over Kinniside Nell, who was disqualified for interference, promoting ” Homeward Dude” to second place .

The pup trail and Miterdale Rusty put his previous course experience to good use and held off the strong challenge of Sweet Harmony with Jenny’;s Aura leading in the pack, after making several mistakes, together with “the General”.

Report. What a difference a day makes, Thursdays trail was two seconds slower than Tuesday, and on Tuesday Bracelet came from behind Endure to get  second, last night she came from just behind the same hound but this time it was for first ticket.

In the pups Silver Dusk showed with a good lead and although Liz made ground she couldn’t peg back the Dearham pup. It was pointed out that five of the first six were from the Prancer- Silver Dollar litter and also if Wanted and Breeze get one more ticket apiece .’ Wishy will be able to afford a haircut. He went last week and inquired ” How much are haircuts and how much are shaves” the reply was £ 10 for haircuts and £2 for a shave, wishy replied ” Shave me head ”

In the last Ben 10 won by a length from the favourite Artisan with Kaiser Sosa in third.

Joining the spectators for the final trail were Four Belgians  who are working on the new ford car in association with Malcolm Wilson. They were intrigued by this sport and really enjoyed their brief visit, especially the one with my binoculars who couldn’t see a thing whilst the others watched them all the way down the finish. They were happy to give me a test drive but I declined on the principle of the steering wheel was missing and there were no pedals.

Bower House in Eskdale , a fine evening but a shade windy. In the seniors Overwater Arnie won again and firmly established himself at the top of the championship table, he won by ten yards from Galemire Grace with Songbird in fifth splitting the three Patterdale hounds for the minor tickets.

Jenny’s Aura won as she liked in the juniors and encouragingly in second place was Miterdale Copper, running again after an enforced rest, in third was kennel mate ‘Rusty’ , all the hounds finished well spread out.

The maidens and four hounds came onto the finish tightly bunched and after chopping and changing , Silverbelle emerged the winner, much to the surprise of one intrepid punter who, apparently can’t get the winner even after they have finished.

Report. A fine evening at Dearham on what is becoming an Indian Summer. Five hounds kept each other company for almost all the trail and on the finish the fastest of them was Sambuca who raced away for a fine win over championship challenger Bracelet, Endure and Persian Bay filled the minor placings.

The pup trail and after having gained a lead , after her rivals fluffed the fence, Liz strode home for a facile win. As the nights close in on the puppy championship it appears that Jenny’s Aura will take some catching but both General James and Liz will not be giving up the race.

The maiden trail and once more the purple hounds are up front in the shape of Yabbadabbadoo and So Be It. These two were split by Wanted and followed by Breeze.

Report. A special thanks to all the farmers and landowners for their permission, the trailers Pat , Roy and Garry, John for the gate, Bruce , Mike and Kimberly for scouting and Quad biking and the weather for staying kind.

The senior trail and after a long time in the wilderness Thorn Dancer finally came good, and it was no fluke as she strode away from her rivals on the homeward stretch and won handily from Bedazzled and Ladybird.

In the senior trail at the lane crossing the gate was shut as the hounds were to jump the wall about ten yards away , but no!, the hounds jumped the gate instead, so in the maidens we opened the gate , and what happened, all the maidens jumped the wall In front was Jazz Band , but he stopped to “piddle” on approaching the line and in trailing lingo ” Got nowt”. The winner was Capetown who didn’t relish the downhill finish and only won in the final strides from Hunter’s Dale.

Two hounds dominated the pup trail and it looked like it was the “Generals”  turn , as he led down the hill but in the final ten metres Jenny’s Aura came with a flourish and won by a length.

Only five non- winners ( there isn’t many more) and four if them kept company all the way round and it wasn’t until the final strides that we found a winner and that was Settle’s Yorkshire Lad trained by Nick Wilson, who’s brother was chief cook and bottle washer in the tea van.

Onto the restricted trail and it was a case of can you fool them into thinking “this is a new trail”, the answer “NO” and as two of them crossed the lane ignoring the bridge, jumped the wire landed in the beck which isn’t fast flowing ,but is deep enough for “Tom Daley” floundered about ” doggy paddle or breaststroke “and then proceeded up the old trail, turned around, came back, turned around set off again , I’ve no idea what they were but they were the cleanest and wettest hounds to finish.. Oh! and Dawn beat Menorah with Highness in third , these three were well clear of the rest.

The final trail , the veterans and the favourite Artisan ,almost completed the trail twice, Well! it was a nice day and a wonderful view from the top of Sour Howe., better than Hallgarth , any day!  The rest of them were led home by Kerrymore who just got the better of Simply Rascal and Silver Spangle who beat Tagget by a nose for third.

Now! As the first person on the field asked for the ladies. We attempted to erect some sort of  “Bog” . And the first person to use the so called ” Ladies Toilet” Jimmy Batty!.

Report . The final HTA event of the season at Gamblesby and the spectators were treated to five excellent trails and plaudits to Chris ( Kipper ) Henderson for organising the trails and thanks to all the farmers and landowners , the other two trailers , Jake and Ashley, the numerous scouts, the Area Committee and ‘Wishy’ the gateman.

The senior trail and as the hounds passed the trail field , five of the thirteen runners has broken clear, and had a good lead over the ‘pack’. Overwater Arnie drifted from 6/4 favourite to 5/1, which shows how far the second group was behind. But, it was a different story on the finish when at least eight appeared to-gether and in the lead ‘ Arnie’ ahead of Endure., who pressed ‘ Arnie all the way up the long finish , but once more had to settle for second place, Issabella made late ground to finish third

The senior maidens and Jazz Band drove the trail for the majority and was only headed in the latter stages by Foxparke So Be It nee So Be It, beaten half a length in the process. Also on the premises , most of them!

In the pup trail, Liz was made favourite over General James , but neither could cope with Just Mick, who held on to a slender lead and denied one half of the Reid brothers; the good -looking one , a victory.

. And after being unlucky last week ; Jazz Lyric made no mistakes in the puppy maidens  and romped home by five yards from ‘ Sparrow’ and ‘Rose’.

The final event, the open restricted, and a downpour just as the hounds were finishing made sure that most of today’s followers  went home wet! This trail provided Geoff and Barbara Jones with a much needed ‘fillip ‘ when Starlight held off the strong challenge of JLS to win by a head with Artisan , taking a break from the veterans , in third !.
