Cupid Stunt 18 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Around 20 years ago I was on Romney Marsh watching a course between greyhounds.The dogs ran a hare up to a little graveyard at the top of a hill,popularly known as "Boot Hill", the judge who was on foot eventually came back to the rest of us and asked the farmer to take his landrover up to the top ,one of the dogs had died at the summit. I remember reading that in EDRD a good few years ago Quote Link to post
