Report. The first trails at Buttermere 2019 and the old adage , ” If you can see the hounds for most of the trail then the hounds can equally see as much. ” this leads to , if you are behind and you want to catch up then the quickest way from A to B is “no  corners “. It is an excellent trail marred by the odd incident and you can’t blame a hound for not going on the scenic route , the onus is on the owner , run somewhere else and if you have trouble identifying the hounds then you can borrow caroline’s bins, the names are on the lens

Rant over and in the seniors Crazy had only the watch for opposition and won by 23 seconds. Further behind was Babylon and Huntsman’s Novice, two of last seasons pups and having their first outing  on the senior trail.

The juniors and confirming form shown in the winter trials at Buttermere was Huntsmans who beat Muse and Dash, a field of 18 consisting of 13 non- winners. What won the maidens , “Mine did “! ” No it wasn’t yours it was mine”No it was both of them, last  seasons Champion non – winner, Copperfield  and   Mine , a dead -heat.

The restricted trail(s) and if Arizona could speak his statement would have been  ” There was never more than six hounds in front of me at any one time, but I finished twelfth.

Report.   A splendid day at the trails courtesy of the  Cockermouth / Workington area of the H TA. .

The seniors and could Red Will  continue his winning form and inflict another defeat on  championship contender LIz, Freshly clipped the answer – NO! couldn’t even get a ticket, well! that’s hound trailing , in the same light Limber winner of 13 trails ,ran over a minute slower than the puppy maidens now there’s’ something to make your mouth water Opal ( fruits)_. back to the seniors -on the long . uneven finish the even-money liz  romped away from the opposition and improving leaps and bounds it is no mystery who finished second just un front of Silver Dusk and Rover.

Escape passed and held on to beat ” Billy “and finishing fast in third was Foxparke Just Got It , whose intrepid trainer is looking forward to a nice relaxing break in Appleby..

The restricted trail could have been won by the veteran’s favourite customer but he couldn’t catch the miterdale Copper in the fastest time of the day..

Report.. it is not the first time that a hound handler  has got his trails mixed up and has lined up in the wrong race but it is the first time that the promoter has done this, so, for the record , Paul Airey and Meadow Dixie in the non- winners..

Back to the races and in the seniors, Rover came to challenge wild Gypsy in the final few yards but failed to go through with his challenge, it was alleged that Wild gypsy had growled and leant on Rover the outcome led to the disqualification of the hound from first place.

in the pups it was a two dog affair , Reebok came to the final , downhill stretch with a ten yard  lead only to see it whittled away and was overtaken in the last few strides by limber , who then eased giving Reebok another chance, but she failed by a head.

Onceover -it was a regular sight seeing Victor Brownlee catching winners, 12 championships  and in the twilight of his hound trailing career he can still bend his back to put the bait tin down , aiding his daughter Christine and finishing  like a whirlwind was Monsoon, a non-goer as a pup but with patience has taken an interest and perhaps better times ahead –  second was Zulu  owned by another “oldtimer”

Mally Reay and his wife Anne, diplomacy he is an oldtimer Anne isn’t..  went home before they released the beast.

Report. The Kinnisiders turned up with 7 runners and got 6 tickets and to cap it all , Companion was Kinniside Mel in a former life.

A welcome drop of rain, not a lot but I like it . The seniors and Escape escaped and had a winning lead but— on the short finish Miterdale Steel came with a few yards and held on to beat Forlorn Spring with the favourite Miterdale Shadow in third.

Acorn kept up her challenge for the Championship beating four kinnisiders Sam-Jacko-Dan and Mick and James. the Major,

The maidens and a mate for Dairy Lightning , a companion, called companion  aka Kinniside Meg scored for Steve Riley. former champ and veteran Mysterious aka Songbird and Mine was third ( that’s his not mine) and an easy win for Babylon in the last beating Denton by 20 yds and these two were well clear of the rest.

Report  A nice evening in Potter’s park overlooking Ennerdale Water  and surrounding fells. The seniors decided that climbing up the trod, ie Kirkland finish in reverse,;was the right way , well it wasn’t and the hounds that were wrong would make up the lost ground. was the general opinion “in the ring”. after halfway the field was well strung out , Crazy and Huntsman’s Novice , Thorn dancer were prominent  and it was Crazy that prevailed from Thorn Dancer and Kinniside meg.

A small field for the juniors and in this race the cows had a major say in matters ; three of the pups didn’t fancy running the gauntlet and this left Acorn with a sizeable lead and despite a swollen joint won easily..

The non- winners and a “ nip and tuck” finish saw ” Jiggly puff ” holding off the “Black and Tan” Zulu. and the final event was a 14 runner plus  two – Eskdale versus The Napiers, Eskdale 1,3,5 Napiers 2,4.6, score 12-9.

“Jiggly Puff”! ,Where did that name originate Nicola? Work it out , Baz , a Jiggly and a Puff !. Ha Ha  , How about a pokemon character

and one for you Nicola,-” Slowpoke” !!!!!!

Report. 132 hounds on a coldish night on the leaps, a shortage of midweek trails , a growing trend, but if you relish competition then this is the game.

and competitive it was , in the seniors it was “take on ” the Huntsman’s, and the huntsman’s prevailed with three of the first four. a revitalised Huntsman’s major , runner-up in the 2017 puppy championship, last season was a “gap” year and prepared himself for a crack at the maiden championship this season, well we know what happened there so now its all eyes on the championship.. Win number three was by five yards from the improving “Overwater Hally” perhaps a successor to the ill-fated Arnie ”

From which  mighty oak trees grow ” Acorn kept up her challenge for the puppy title with win number four ( take note lynn) at the expense of ,not a huntsman’s but a Jenny, Oracle no Less !

In the gloom the last two events were won  by  Prospect Spot and from a successful litter, meadow spot, sister too “Cuckkoo and matey boy.

The runners will appear – when we find them,
