white van man 3,539 Posted March 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 It’s a cracking place. I love heading up there. I’m about an hour away but always worth the drive. As long as the dogs are steady to stock you can pretty much go wherever. Mid week can be a problem if they are live firing on the ranges. Will be heading up there a lot more now. We found the Waitrose...... luckily there is a Lidl a bit further along! 2 Quote Link to post

Yep...we found that too and I used to get the "holiday dog food" there...until I discovered the amazing butcher across the other side of the car park! We don't get archaic shops like butchers where I live any more. Completely agree re the livestock training. It always amazes me when you see programmes like Countryfile and the like with everybody walking their dogs in the "countryside" and they've all got leads on. I'd swear some people don't even let them off in their local park as they can't trust them. Anyway, back to the stunning photos and the most beautiful place on the planet... Quote Link to post

Had an area in mind where we have had a couple of decent runs in the past. Unfortunately the military ranges were open when I got there so I moved to a new area. Mid week is really quiet up there and I only bumped into 2 other people all day. Cold wind but the sun was up and visibility was good. Been up there in all types of weather but cold with the sun up is unbeatable. Seen a couple of rabbits in the lower cover and the lurcher followed a couple of lines higher up which just ended at great piles of rocks. Although I don’t see much, I have really started to enjoy this type of hunting. The dogs are slowly taking to it and don’t range too far. No doubt we would see a lot more with a few more dogs in the pack that do this week in week out. ATB. Them ponies take a couple of good dogs Quote Link to post
