Archive: NCH at Wainstalls (Year?)

And lo it came to pass, that the good people who follow the minkhounds did see Wainstalls and thought it was good. The lord of that district did decree that they might bring these hounds to see what they might do....

My favourite picture of the day, Dr Grom & Uncle Melvin....

They did find, but there was no scent, even though it passed me by only a few feet away, hounds simply couldn't take the line.

It'll never catch on....

Beagling, that's where the fun is!

"Hundith Hill"

For many years our base for our visits to Lorton.

I might have got the year wrong, but think it was 2005. We had a day without a meet so took the beagles up to the coast, with Scotland in the distance....It was sunny, obviously, but fresh to put it mildly.

This last picture is probably the best of these lot, and the hound in the foreground is Willful, heading for a cosy retirement courtesy of some very good friends.

Happy days.

This was the week that F&MD hit the country. We were one of the last beagle packs to actually hunt as the following day every hunt n the country self-suspended their activities before it became obvious that the whole rural sector was about to shut down. Sad times all round.

 Amended because I just couldn't help myself.

I think this will be more or less 2001/2 after I'd started at the CVB. Probably Glenn's last season...

I think this might have been one year when Grommit & I went and stayed near Patterdale. On the Sunday we couldn't find any packs out so went for a long walk around the Ullswater area.....
