Presumably the huntsman is on foot somewhere.

Well I didn't see much but it was a nice enough, if rather short day, to be out and with a mounted pack one can always take the odd pretty picture.  The problem now is equine flu which has caused equestrian activities to grind to a halt to prevent it spreading, so on the Saturday following there was no mounted activity.


The Holme and Colne Valley Beagles Meet of Saturday, 9th February 2019

It was the tail end of a storm called Erik that left strong blustery wind and some rain attacking the rugged hillside going steeply up to a high rocky escarpment of the Pennines where the beagles were going.  I had debated about turning out at all as I knew they would vanish over the top where I had no intention of going - so they did.

Despite a bit of a hike I never saw them again except as dots on the skyline which quickly vanished. Well at least I had got out and had some foot slogging exercise even if it was to no avail.  I eventually called it a day.
