No reason for not taking your dog, a slow dog wont do any good on a fell.

 

You will get as many answers as posts, truth is, all types of lurcher have done well on fell ground. The best ones have a good nose, and a willingness to hunt out to find vermin.

Haven`t we all mate !! lol.. kept me in freezer fill when I was young thats for sure, I expect you had to explain what you were doing up on the moor once or twice to Mr Pressley as well while you were up this way !! HAHAHAHAHA :laugh:

 

I was lucky and never had to, but I know plenty that have for sure, Old man Packard has had some right hard fuckers looking after that place over the years.
