Meet host at Barrow Leasow was Oliver Whittall, one of the fantasists behind a pro hunt Facebook group that makes up nonsense about our activities. Two weeks ago one of our sabs was nearly run down by a horse ridden by H and C senior master Rob Parsons, on Whittall's parents in laws' farm at Great Wacton. Did he write the lies about that incident that are totally refuted by our footage? 

Anyway, back to the Radnor meet which turned out to be a pretty dull day all in all, made remarkable only by sabs having the company of a stalker. Welsh Borders Sabs had joined us for the day, a couple more sabs on the ground always make it easier to keep tabs on the hunt. The seven of us split into four teams (we are well practised in the art of making effective use of a small team of sabs) and the hunt spent the day running from one team straight into another.

The hunt covered a remarkably small area of country, such as you might expect for a morning's cub hunting not a full day in main season, making our job even easier. More and more landowners are denying hunts access to their land as sab groups expose the lie that is 'trail' hunting.

Hounds picked up on a line from first covert, but the pack split, and our vehicle team were well placed to see the fox as it crossed the road. Our vehicle team quickly covered its line with citronella. Next huntsman Shaun Marles tried his hand at finding a fox in a beet field, sabs were close on him here, but soon after the hounds went into cry again. Once again it was the vehicle team who spotted the fox, which doubled back to escape the hounds, before crossing the road where once again the vehicle team covered its line. 

Hounds then spent a while in and out of cry in Winney Wood, but shortly after three deer were seen running from there, so it's likely they were rioting on deer. From here the hunt moved to Broxwood before heading along the drive to Colliers Farm, across fields to Sherrington Wood (more fleeing deer seen here), on towards Heath Wood and finally towards the delightfully named Maggots Green. 

Near Luntley sabs overheard that Marles' horse had a loose shoe and by 3.30pm he was seen heading back to where the hound lorry was parked at Lower Green, on the back of a quad. We do appreciate an early pack up, none of this hunting till dark, followed by the huntsman realising he's lost half the pack in dense woodland nonsense thank you very much!

Thank you to everyone who has donated recently, it is so much appreciated as we rely on your support to keep us out in the fields sabbing the scummy hunts. Also thank you to everyone who has contacted us with info about the Herefordshire and Clifton Hunt in the last couple of weeks.
