    Massively disappointed by the opening ceromony ! I thought it would be fantastic, music, floats, dancing.... A sort of huge Rio Carnival, but no, a politically correct Eco themed nonsense ! Really disappointed, hope the game is more entertaining.

    . They had to there under presure for hosting it while people around the stadium live in shit they have spent billions !!!!!!

    Yes but infortunatly not the original print , the original 1892 print had more illustrations .

    The one I have was a 1986 reprint

    Check out google Diary of Otter Hunting by James Lomax think there are still some copies about

    . Thought so the original is worth a few groats

    The packs that hunted the hodder calder an ribble were invited as the ribbledale oha lost thier pack to rabies 1871 So they invited other pack such as the eastern counties , cheriton , culmstock , kendal and district

    The hounds mentioned as being lost to rabies were owned & hunted by a man called

    James Lomax a local squire who lived at Clayton Hall, Great Harwood, Lancashire.

    The hall existed in its original form till 1977 when it was demolished and anew smaller hall was built.

    Lomax hunted from approximately 1828 till 1871 most of his hunting being on the Ribble, the Lune & their tributaries

    but took his hounds all over the country by invitation

    In his book a DIARY OF OTTERHUNTING it mentions that all but three of the hounds and six terriers were put down .

    On the back page of the book is a print of a hound led outside an old wooden kennel , the title on the print is Carver_

    Last of The Pack ,been trying to load it but failed

    . Do you own that dairy

    We were drawring a plantation up on a moutainside side miles away from any water. Who came lopping out a big dog otter the hounds total ignored it. The drafting of foxhounds was common the old adedge not what you know but its who you knew
