I reckon you'd be fine with any of them though to be honest, it's no big issue. I did find Blencathera bunch came across a bit snotty once.. Barry himself was sound though. In their defence they have had trouble with the anits so are just cautious when outsiders show up. Talk your mates into getting some miles in stomping over the fells mate... get a thirst worked up and that!! Barry and his family are wonderful, the cathra followers absolute arse holes.....some of them anyway. @Gypsydog94I've not done much up there for a couple of years....yet its only an hour north of me. I know a couple of the fell huntsman really well, if you came up I'd make sure you were looked after and made welcome. Come up on your own, spend a night on my couch and we can have 2 good days up there, night in a hunting pub in between . (obviously it's better if you can bring friends, I wasn't luring you up to groom you or anything) 3 Quote Link to post

chartpolski 13,540 Posted July 10 Report Share Posted July 10 Was at the Haydon Hunt show today. Fantastic venue, Steel Rigg next to Hadrians wall. Not a huge turn out of lurchers and terriers butsome nice hounds and fellhound racing. Intersting talking to some of the fox Hound people, I mentioned the hairy hounds on show, and they said a few of the northern hunts are using Welsh hounds and Welsh/English crosses. A couple of hairy hounds; Some of the hounds on show; Cheers. 6 Quote Link to post

I think it's more to do with fuel price....it was only around 20 mile along the military road from me and I almost didn't go, but I'd arranged to meet people there. Quote Link to post
