With Sophie. It was very squelchy underfoot today, walking over field paths where a lot of snow had melted in the last few days. We parked in Longnor and took the path through Folds End that follows the Manifold south past Over and Lower Boothlow to Ridge End Farm where we turned left towards Ludburn. Just before we turned left we were caught up with by a large pack of fox houses and a couple of huntsmen blowing away on their horn thing. Neither friendly nor unfriendly both beasts and men were too intent on their task to pay us any heed. Evidently the New Year Meet of some local hunt. Of following horses there was no sign. |
