Report. The third and final trail meeting at the ever popular Bower House venue situated in the centre of the Eskdale Valley, home to Laal Ratty,  the Steeles, Crowes, Poss, John Brom, uncle Tom Cobbly and all.

And , the star of the show, “Benny” Not! Crossroads or “Hill ” but Cuckoo Lane who won all senior trails and on that point the times for the three events. 29.31 – 27. 47-  28.  02  . And a more reliable guide the third and fourth trail.16.10-  15.52- 16.32 15.37  16.10, a variation of 55 seconds only.

Monday night and the weather ,very kind, warmer than Saturday but not as warm as it was in the pub on Saturday evening , for confirmation see Tony.

The seniors and just 12 runners , and the disappointment of the race was the ” Major ”  , after having nearly won on Saturday , retuned to his Last seasons antics of “coming Back” .  The door was left open to Cuckoo lane and in a “cracking” finish he beat Jenny’s Aura and Best Mate.

The puppy trail and another winner in Nicola and  Stuart’s  Prospect Spring   showing pre – season promise he beat Kinniside Jack who in most eyes probably beat himself, a half a length was the winning distance. Did anybody hear the shout of the Teas are on me! or was it a dream ?

Two hounds finished well clear in the last event Artemis winning by ten metres from  Copperfield who is generally referred to as” Knob “Ed ” for reasons only his owner knows!

Thanks to all concerned , trailers Ian, Tony. Mark ,and Jackson, John on the gate, scouts and catchers  and most of all yourselves!

Report. 103 hounds, On the first Saturday of the new season ,faced the starter. In the seniors  the former Chairman’s Cuckoo Lane won for the second time this week but He had to pull out all the stops to beat Huntsman’s Major who didn’t do himself any favours by slowing down just before the line, Cuckoo Lanes brother Best Mate close up in third.

The puppy trail and three tickets out of four for the Cumbrian Circumnavigators , Geoff . Ian and Tony, first , second and sixth,  Kinniside mick beating Kinniside Sam with Overwater Sully in third , Monday’s winner Acorn was un placed and Reg Smith was still looking for it after it  had finished.

A gamble was landed in the open maidens when Lee Wall’s ,making the long journey from Carlisle, Denton Bilbao improved on Monday’s fifth to win by a clear margin. and in the veterans a popular win for Ken  Routledge’s Galemire Grace comfortably beating Tommy’s legacy And Lady Bethan , all newcomers to this popular event.

Report;,

Two year old Cuckoo Lane, clipped and raring to go , came from a moderate sixth at half way to beat a trio of Miterdales, showing his liking for the’ Bower’ second half and to the shout of ‘ Benny’ became table leader, steel was second and Shadow third , no doubt the clippers will be out on Saturday.

The pup trail and after an ‘iffy’ start and making a right mess of the finish, it was Kendal hound Acorn and Stockdale bitch Overwater sully that came with  a clear lead , Acorn winning by a few lengths, one or two were in the reckoning and Saturday could be different.

Irony or not – that Huntsman’s Major  second in the puppy championship in 17 , wouldn’t take part in 18 and now in 19 has four chances of winning maiden trails , 30 seconds to play with on Saturday it will be close , perhaps he will take on ‘ benny’. By the way he won

The all-in trail was run in the impending gloom and Dairy lightning held off Buble and Wild Gypsy.

Sometimes things happen whether it be on the trail field or out in the countryside. On Thursday a hound lost its life in an unavoidable accident , when ,on the start of the senior trail it accidentally collided with another hound , the result being that the unfortunate hound hit an uneven part and subsequently after somersaulting  He fractured his vertebrae. Although this was a nasty accident they are few and far between , the welfare of all  hounds is paramount and our heartfelt  sympathy goes out to Michelle and David.

The two Champions elect. Jenny’s Aura and Huntsman’s nimrod won as they liked and Stand By and Night Vision won in the stewards room whether they liked it or not.

The senior and Senior maidens was a rare double for the vice– chair when Josie and Dixie two Meadows took the honours, Jodie got the better of Escape and Dixie cleverly held off Fireman Sam.

Report. To win any trail is an achievement especially when its in the non-winners class in October and wins have come few and far between for Helen Farrer so it was nice to see Border Lad winning ,at Walna Scar under the shoulders of the Old Man of Coniston , last night .

The sun shone ,it was the warmest October day since their was another warm October Day,

In the Seniors Champion Jenny’s Aura held off the challenge of Geoffrey AKA Miterdale Steel

In the pups the “water jump” taken in fine style by “Cuckoo” as opposed to ” Nimrod”  who took a bath , proved to be the difference between winning and losing..

Report. An explanation of what went wrong , apart from the minor scales that happen eg, the senior maidens circled just before they showed after 20 mins so those that showed first were in fact last and vice-versa the last should have been in front.

The leading pups ran on crossing the lane, some righted themselves some didn’t but the main concern was what happened in the last two trails, although unproven but very likely in the circumstances is that – the puppy trailers had to walk to the split one of them had already laid a trail and knowing where they walked , the conclusion is – that they joined up the outgoing and incoming trails, the only thing is why? didn’t the other short trails do likewise.

Report. well done the Ulverston area, excellent trails even Norman Collier liked them, and for all those who stayed away , for whatever reason, you missed out and to prove that every body had a chance, the Ulverston area (1), Westmorland (2) Keswick (1)Whitehaven ( 1) Cockermouth  (1), the winners and ticketing hounds, top scorer the Whitehaven area..

The senior winner scoring her first open win with more than one runner was Kendal hound Wild Gypsy, a late bred pup from the Westgate Kyza – Westgate gypsy litter, that’s enough to put a smile on the late Jimmy Glaister’ s Face and it brought a tear for Dot Wilding when she recalled this was their first success in an HTA major trail event, that is Her self and husband Michael ( Town crier) who, unfortunately had been scuppered by some dodgy fish food and was unable to attend. That is why a number of raffle prizes were unclaimed. by the way ,big thanks to ” laal Pat ” for selling the raffle tickets .

1-0 to the bookies not for long, Watch out ,watch out Tyson ‘s about, Tyson fury, NO!, Mike Tyson , NO!  But Les Tyson ( Tiger) Yes ably assisted by “Lu Lu” Pounder, Lady Anne beating “Gypsy’s  brother West Tip ( Nevada) now that would have been a rare double !

Huntsman’s Novice , lived up to his name as he and Benny made a right mess of the finish but after a look at the camera the race was awarded to the Patterdale pup.

That’s 1-1 and a draw in the betting stakes.

Then a Red Mist descended and the Miterdale crowd went “bananas”, what was the first thing they did ? when finding a phone signal. ring Les Reid. Who allegedly has dyed his hair “ginger”.

Two to go , and cue another R, this time Rita who escaped the challengers and taking advantage of Explore exploring scored a win for the “young uns” in the restricted trail ( young applies to the hound and not to Dearham Joe )

On to the last event and representing the veterans none other than Reg Smith, who aspiring to greater things hammered another nail in the bookies coffin .

Thanks to all the scouts, trail layers, catchers, gateman , starter and Judge, bookies runner, tent pitcher Phil ( where’s the annuals) the sponsors and Karen for presenting the prize money.

Yes , the prize money which didn’t appear on the treasurer’s first journey from Eskdale ! It’s a good job the HTA isn’t paying travelling expenses.

Missing : one trail sign( Havertwaite crossroads) and if ever walking backwards is allowed in the Olympics : then – look out ” sqawky” if he passes the dope test.!
