Bower House in Eskdale , a fine evening but a shade windy. In the seniors Overwater Arnie won again and firmly established himself at the top of the championship table, he won by ten yards from Galemire Grace with Songbird in fifth splitting the three Patterdale hounds for the minor tickets.

Jenny’s Aura won as she liked in the juniors and encouragingly in second place was Miterdale Copper, running again after an enforced rest, in third was kennel mate ‘Rusty’ , all the hounds finished well spread out.

The maidens and four hounds came onto the finish tightly bunched and after chopping and changing , Silverbelle emerged the winner, much to the surprise of one intrepid punter who, apparently can’t get the winner even after they have finished.

Report. A fine evening at Dearham on what is becoming an Indian Summer. Five hounds kept each other company for almost all the trail and on the finish the fastest of them was Sambuca who raced away for a fine win over championship challenger Bracelet, Endure and Persian Bay filled the minor placings.

The pup trail and after having gained a lead , after her rivals fluffed the fence, Liz strode home for a facile win. As the nights close in on the puppy championship it appears that Jenny’s Aura will take some catching but both General James and Liz will not be giving up the race.

The maiden trail and once more the purple hounds are up front in the shape of Yabbadabbadoo and So Be It. These two were split by Wanted and followed by Breeze.

Report. A special thanks to all the farmers and landowners for their permission, the trailers Pat , Roy and Garry, John for the gate, Bruce , Mike and Kimberly for scouting and Quad biking and the weather for staying kind.

The senior trail and after a long time in the wilderness Thorn Dancer finally came good, and it was no fluke as she strode away from her rivals on the homeward stretch and won handily from Bedazzled and Ladybird.

In the senior trail at the lane crossing the gate was shut as the hounds were to jump the wall about ten yards away , but no!, the hounds jumped the gate instead, so in the maidens we opened the gate , and what happened, all the maidens jumped the wall In front was Jazz Band , but he stopped to “piddle” on approaching the line and in trailing lingo ” Got nowt”. The winner was Capetown who didn’t relish the downhill finish and only won in the final strides from Hunter’s Dale.

Two hounds dominated the pup trail and it looked like it was the “Generals”  turn , as he led down the hill but in the final ten metres Jenny’s Aura came with a flourish and won by a length.

Only five non- winners ( there isn’t many more) and four if them kept company all the way round and it wasn’t until the final strides that we found a winner and that was Settle’s Yorkshire Lad trained by Nick Wilson, who’s brother was chief cook and bottle washer in the tea van.

Onto the restricted trail and it was a case of can you fool them into thinking “this is a new trail”, the answer “NO” and as two of them crossed the lane ignoring the bridge, jumped the wire landed in the beck which isn’t fast flowing ,but is deep enough for “Tom Daley” floundered about ” doggy paddle or breaststroke “and then proceeded up the old trail, turned around, came back, turned around set off again , I’ve no idea what they were but they were the cleanest and wettest hounds to finish.. Oh! and Dawn beat Menorah with Highness in third , these three were well clear of the rest.

The final trail , the veterans and the favourite Artisan ,almost completed the trail twice, Well! it was a nice day and a wonderful view from the top of Sour Howe., better than Hallgarth , any day!  The rest of them were led home by Kerrymore who just got the better of Simply Rascal and Silver Spangle who beat Tagget by a nose for third.

Now! As the first person on the field asked for the ladies. We attempted to erect some sort of  “Bog” . And the first person to use the so called ” Ladies Toilet” Jimmy Batty!.

Report . The final HTA event of the season at Gamblesby and the spectators were treated to five excellent trails and plaudits to Chris ( Kipper ) Henderson for organising the trails and thanks to all the farmers and landowners , the other two trailers , Jake and Ashley, the numerous scouts, the Area Committee and ‘Wishy’ the gateman.

The senior trail and as the hounds passed the trail field , five of the thirteen runners has broken clear, and had a good lead over the ‘pack’. Overwater Arnie drifted from 6/4 favourite to 5/1, which shows how far the second group was behind. But, it was a different story on the finish when at least eight appeared to-gether and in the lead ‘ Arnie’ ahead of Endure., who pressed ‘ Arnie all the way up the long finish , but once more had to settle for second place, Issabella made late ground to finish third

The senior maidens and Jazz Band drove the trail for the majority and was only headed in the latter stages by Foxparke So Be It nee So Be It, beaten half a length in the process. Also on the premises , most of them!

In the pup trail, Liz was made favourite over General James , but neither could cope with Just Mick, who held on to a slender lead and denied one half of the Reid brothers; the good -looking one , a victory.

. And after being unlucky last week ; Jazz Lyric made no mistakes in the puppy maidens  and romped home by five yards from ‘ Sparrow’ and ‘Rose’.

The final event, the open restricted, and a downpour just as the hounds were finishing made sure that most of today’s followers  went home wet! This trail provided Geoff and Barbara Jones with a much needed ‘fillip ‘ when Starlight held off the strong challenge of JLS to win by a head with Artisan , taking a break from the veterans , in third !.

Report. Ten faced the starter for the first of the ‘backend’ series of trails at Seaton and crossing Flimby brow  Izzabella and Try Again had established a good lead, some would say unassailable, but this is Seaton , but they were right as the two hounds kept their lead , although reduced, and Izzabella strode away to win readily. The ‘pack’ were led in by Try Time who just got over the line in front of the table leaders Bracelet and Overwater Arnie, who were having a valuable look around for the future.

The pup trail and after making a hash of the first road crossing, Liz and General James were towards the rear behind Silver Dusk.

Onto the finish and a number of hounds were in with a shout but the in form Liz notched up another win from the close up Swift Harmony and Just Mick.

Nine restricted hounds in the last race and veteran Artisan showed the young ones the ropes , she won easily from Darren Clarke’s Kaiser Sosa and Sugar Ray. Clarkie will be looking forward to next weeks Ryder cup , maybe?

Report.  Michael Renney , Bookmaker and supplier of solid fuels ,ie A Coalman.

At the December meetings of the area committees he was the one leaning on the bar arguing ” black’s white”  A “Crackerjack” of a man and sadly missed. Also Eric (sticks) Walker, a familiar face on the trail field, self ordered shouter out , often missing hounds out, and provider of toffees.

So in Michaels and Eric’s memory we gathered on Tallentire Hill for an afternoon of sport.

First up a small ,but select field for the seniors and victory to Overwater Arnie from Bracelet , close up together with Endure and Issabella.

The senior maidens and Meadow Josie and Capetown had an early lead from Cracking Gold , not far away and the rest with some leeway to make up. Onto the finish which includes a part of the Redmain trail, and here confusion arose , Meadow Josie headed up the Tallentire finish , Capetown kept a straight line and put herself out of contention, although she recovered to finish fourth.

What would happen next, would the pups guess ? answer,No! and jumping the last fence as though it was the Grand National, the Reid brothers Liz and Just Mick fought out the finish with Buble back in third .

We got the pups to come straight but the Pup maidens ,well  that was a different story as they ran straight , then turned , hit the last jump at the wrong angle, tried to get over the cattle grid and eventually headed up the finishing hill, perhaps it would have been the same result had they not have scaled, but I’ll stand by my assessment and say it would still have won.

On to the restricted and if any are going to guess then these will and they didn’t let the side down as the first five just kept going – Razzle Dazzle jumped the gate into the finishing field , the rest just stood , Razzle jumped back again, they had a ‘meeting’ , meanwhile another hound had come straight and was on the finish, not to be outdone Ben 10 came charging up the road , took a sharp right and went onto win -I suppose he deserved it after leading most of the way.

And the veterans , who? after coming down the Redmain trail more times than you’ve had “hot dinners” were bound to get wrong , but , No! never put a foot wrong and the winner ‘Artisan’ over Silver Spangle.

Thanks to all of you who bought raffle tickets and all of you who sold them.

Report. Better late although a bit sketchy.

Scouting for the first two trails and what with trying to keep the sheep back and holding on to my grandson, counting them was hard enough. Anyway I can say that it was a surprise to hear that Try Time didn’t ticket in the seniors as he crossed the last road with fifty yards lead, Bessy, Thorn Dancer were close up as was Lady and the Huntsmans ,as you can see from the result Try TIme was the only one missing.

In the maidens and once more a purple explosion and winning for the second time over the course was Yabadabbadoo , Westgate Rose was second and once more in third was So Be It. This time I was looking at back of the hounds as they crossed (no purple) but they had  Foxparke written all over them.

The pup trail looked to be a one dog race and so it proved as Jenny’s Aura came with a clear lead over Miterdale Rusty and popping up in fourth was Apollo ( one non winner trail left) splitting two more Foxparkes.

The open Restricted and the ‘red ‘un’ , Bewitched had a real tussle with Remember Me and Great Gable with the enigmatic Hunter’s Dale in fourth.

Everytime ‘ Jack’  Hunters is threatened with the ‘chop’ he decides to ‘go’. and a poignant second for Jeanette with Remember Me , for the time being the ‘ Me’ will be Les.

In the veterans and a return to the winners enclosure for Jacob , another red ‘un and sire of Bewitched, he won readily from Langdale Jack and made it a family day at the Show.

Report. A sunny evening at Fellside but a shade windy and getting colder.

On Calebreck common , about seven minutes running, Denzil aka Washington was in front  of ‘Gracie’ and lady Bethan, onto the finish and here ‘Arnie ‘ had struck the front and kept his advantage to the tape for win number 12, two behind Bracelet, Lady Bethan kept her place and two virtual newcomers to the senior ranks , Razzle Dazzle and Eden Rossi were fourth and fifth.

The puppy trail gave Jenny’s Aura another win on the road to the Junior Championship, Misha finished well to get second place with Swift Harmony in Third.

The maiden trail and a win for Stand By , who came from fourth on The downhill Section of the finish to overhaul Grange Music and Cracking Gold..

This was the final event on the Caldbeck/ Uldale fells and thanks to all the commoners for their permission to run and the landowners , lake Distict national park, for their co-operation.

Report. Once again Bracelet and Endure had a head to head battle for the senior trail and once more Bracelet got the better and went onto win by five yards with Sambuca a fast closing third.

In the pup trail a return to winning ways for Liz , she won nicely from Quiet Otter and Just Mick with the ticketing hounds close up . At the start the Chairman ,who was in charge of slipping his hound got a warning for ‘beating the gun’. He pleaded not guilty on the grounds of, the starter twitched and his arms were aching. Anyway it wasn’t me it was Kate Bush.

And on what was developing into a wet night the final trail saw another silent finish as Issabella passed Westgate Belle to record a win for the’ partnership ‘of Brown and Tinnion with veteran Artisan in third.

Report. A disappointing turnout , as one wag pointed out it’s Sunday trailing that’s killing Monday.

In the seniors Try Time upset the ‘jolly’ Songbird, who might have been unlucky as she damaged a leg in running, but take nothing away from the winner, a surprise runner after last week! He stuck to the task and put an even  bigger smile on Evie’s Face.

The ‘General’ looked nailed on in the pups but with ten yards to go Just Mick almost passed him , only to ease and settle for second.

And in the last Huntsman’s Hope finished alone as Starlight did in second place.

Ps In the pups Cool Enough finished third , fifth and sixth, explanation ? ask Lisa -if she’s calmed down !

And enjoying the trails Mr and Mrs Hassall from Northwich, a former greyhound trainer,who was quite au fait with the number of runners.

Report. A day of close finishes only heads and necks separating the first two in all the trails. And , also over the last two meetings only 21seconds between all six short trails. And, what’ difference a day makes’ as Overwater Bessy went awol at the first meet but on Saturday she got up on the line to deprive Bedazzled with Menorah a close third.

The pups and this was a ‘battle royal’ between Buble , two times course winner and table leader Jenny’s Aura, and winning for the third time ,by a head was the Kendal hound Buble.

The maiden trail and Casanova once more prevailed this time at the expense of ‘southern raider’ Grange Music with Meadow Josie a close third.

In the restricted class Eden Rossi went one better than Tuesday when getting the better of Razzle Dazzle and Bewitched and Kerrymore swopped grades to the veterans and was a head winner over Artisan and Silver Spangle.

A question! The extra runner in the maidens, Who was it?

Report. The senior hounds right from the slip hardly faltered and was an excellent tribute to the ‘Trailhound’ . At the first road crossing all nineteen were in contention, of course they were – they had just been slipped. At the second road crossing the first six were the first six to finish and the first six over the last road. That says; that they hardly altered from start to finish only a slight change of direction on the finish might have had a bearing on the result, anyway  ” Arnie is back” and Endure got the better of Bracelet and stil finished second.

The pup trail and ‘The General’ kept up his championship challenge , by proxy of Silver dusk and Liz running towards the judge and losing ground, but, a wins a win !

Only five non winners and ( cant resist it) breezing up the hill with the help of a following wind was ‘ Breeze’ closely chased by Captain Jack ( Sparra’).

Report. For the senior trail we observed the hounds as they turned for the finish and here Jenny’s Delight led from Galemire Grace and Song Bird,. Galemire won in the end by a couple of lengths but Song Bird , having missed the gate, lost ground and Lady Anne and Capetown took third and fourth.

Only three pups , but nevertheless an intriguing contest between the table toppers and coming out on top Jenny’s Aura winning by a few lengths, justifying favouritism.

The non – winners are getting thin on the ground and one stable provided four of the seven runners, The ‘Kinnisides and after some delay and deliberation it was Nell that won not Bess,

In the final trail Littman came home unchallenged from Huntsman’s Hope who in turn was clear of the third .

Report . A warm , muggy evening made it hard work for the hounds but they all coped well and there were some exciting finishes.

All but one of the seniors was in contention ( no mention which one) and up the last field three hounds battled it out , Bracelet getting the nod on the line , in front of ‘Arnie’ with a close third Endure and the fourth , fifth and sixth just behind.

in the juniors four hounds stole an early lead and Hally after doing most of the driving , took a lick, and Telstar took over, beating Silver Dusk who finished behind the judge.

No danger to Wanted ( only the sheriff) in the pup maidens, the even money favourite won by three lengths from Speed On and in the last Artisan and Silver Spangle had a ding- dong battle up the hill where the former won by half a length.
