y.eah i remember lockhart lurchers, another that used to advertise in the cmw years ago, think he used to be from hearne bay area, used to have ads for colliex greys and hand made shepherds crooks,never seen any thing he produced, reckon it would be round the late 80s

Thort it was around late 70s early 80s in the old shooting news and exchange n mart days but could be wrong long time ago now

Back in the seventies i advertised a litter of lurcher pups in the exchange and mart, the cmw wasn't about in those days. I got a letter from Lockhearts lurchers two days later asking me to phone him, I didn't have a phone then either. I did phone him from my mothers phone and he wanted to buy the whole litter and would pay for a hire van if i would deliver them to him. I decided to sell them to him less the pup i had picked for myself. Two days later a cheque arrived in the post for the van and pups. I hired a Datsun 120y van and myself and the mrs set off to Hearne Bay. It was an epic journey for us, no m25 then just someting called the "north circular". We got lost more times than i can remember and finished up the wrong side of London at tea time. I think we eventually got there about 10,o,clock at night. He fed and watered us and gave us directions. It was a better journey home than going.

what a great story ianm. thats how things were back in the day, you and your misses were real plucky characters to undertake such an epic journey, cant beat a bit of history like that,it was a case of needs must and the lurcher scene was in a far better state than it is today, with good honest people about, still time has to moveon, but great memories and a great adventure.atb keep safe.
