Trip To Mr Hopton


Recommended Posts

For last three months been trying to fit a trip south to mhopton off here. Between car trouble work and Roxie's injury next on the agenda is she ready to go on the break. Wednesday came I rang mark and asked do you fancy this Sunday he said yeh no hesitations, I was working till 9 sat night then sett off 3 and abit hrs to my destination I thought gonae be a tired day/night on the old body. I had Roxie An my oldest ewan who's 12. We arrived at marks and went a wander, more rabbits wanted to lie on the roadside than the fields but we managed 10 An a shot hare. Back to marks for the ferrets I thought sneak in An out but marks wife Mandy was waitin with a cuppa and breakfast, ewan got offered everything but the kitchen sink?. It soon became clear marks the dog walker and the main person the dogs and ferrets belong to is Mandy and 10 minutes later she had the ferrets in the garden for there morning play whilst she was doing there breakfast. We headed back out and tried a big sett in trees and a barb fence, Roxie is alittle too full on for this environment so she was leaded mark had blade and Molly an I had a 12yr old ninja, put some nets down hoping for the odd back net etc we bolted 20 catching 14, we then went out on the hill where rox could stretch her legs finishing on a combined total off 28. what I will say off mark and his dogs right down to his ferrets to me is whether he caught everything or nothing he'd be just as happy as u can see they're bond and the time outs they take just to sit together real companions. Cheers mark for having us down and 36 hrs no sleep defo kicked my ass, hope to see you next season alittle earlier ??
