Colne Valley Beagles and other things of interest.: ROCKWOOD HARRIERS HUNT

Rockwood Harriers at Bolsterstones - 6th December 2017.

It can't be!! Can it??

The centre of Bolsterstones at the Meet

Doorpost of the The Castle where the hounds are in their parking area. For those around the world who seem to look on here and are unfamiliar with the Yorkshire dialect the translation appears at the end.

Just making an inspection.

A closer one.

Yes that was OK.

It was relatively mild but a wild wind. The blame lies with storm Caroline somewhere off west.

I'm guessing that is a Celtic harp.

Not least because of this!

Rockwood Harriers from the kennels on the 9th December 2017

Below the Kirklees Light Railway embankment.

Looks like the charge of the Pony Club

Oh! and the translation - 'Ey up, - has a variety of meanings depending on its use and intonation, but it is basically saying in this case 'Look here, hang about' in a friendly greeting way, other than such meanings as 'look out' or 'watch out', 'be careful' etc, and it is apparently old Norse.

So it reads 'Ey up (Look hang on), 'A Seh' (I say) and 'get thi sen in' (get thyself in = get yourself inside) for a pint. In other words it is an invitation to stop and go inside for a drink

If that is any clearer!!
