How long have you got?! Again, no particular order, most on foot on days away or as groom doing second horses, none as a subscriber, not brave enough!
Old Surrey & Burstow, by mistake on drive out with family as a child; rapidly driven away as they' were all anti's! Hampshire Hunt Vine & Craven Crawley & Horsham Eridge Southdown (before they and E amalgamated) Taunton Vale Tiverton Staghounds D & S Staghounds Exmoor Foxhounds Minehead Harriers West Somerset (I think, Bertie Hill was Master) Quantock Staghounds Berkeley Beaufort (quite a bit of 2nd horsing over 2 seasons) Heythrop Radnor & West Hereford Belvoir Quorn Fernie South Shropshire North Shropshire Wynnstay (used to have the best country - of course!) Cheshire Flint & Denbigh Border Counties Otterhounds Hawkstone Otterhounds Border Foxhounds Hayden Holderness Meynell our local minkhounds - once, never again! Albany Bassets Fourshires Cheshire Beagles Shropshire Beagles Sennybridge (Farmers I think) David Davies also a couple of bobbery otterhunting packs in Ireland - great fun!
I bet I've missed some off but they can't have stuck in the memory!

Great list! A few there I would not mind a day with! Always wanted to have a day with Bassets pre ban naturally! Would love a day with the Blackmore & Sparkfold Vale, have been invited for a day with the Derwent & Fitz those will be on foot! Hopefully get a day with the Belvoir too! Wink wink nudge nudge (you know who you are! was going to last season but ponio put up for sale!) Mind my list is only from 12 years worth of hunting, I intend on making it grow like yours! I could take Freddy to alot of them!...LOL

My paltry list is: Holcombe Harriers, Cheshire Forest, Flint and Denbigh, and the Wynnstay. :p On my list for this season is PF&C, look out Kate, I will be aboard the big guy! :grin: Also would like a day with Meynell, but I don't know if I am brave enough! :o And obviously as a subscriber I will be out with the Holcombe. :cool:

Not bad and we do have a lot of years on you (hate to admit that!) but I do/did have an obsessed husband and we'd drive miles, or rather we did, pre-ban; just not the same now, no matter how you look at it and that seems to be across the whole country, not just in pockets of it! The poor D & S has been decimated to a large degree, think even Ravenwood would go along with that. TBH, the bassets are still a lot of fun except it's now rabbits, they just don't do such a large area!
Better start strengthening Freddy up then, sounds like he'll need his Weetabix! You wouldn't believe how ugly he is ATM, hope it's just growing pains LOL!

Luckily I got out with the D&S pre ban in fact all of them I did preban. You would of got to let your pack lose with the Albany? Freddy will have time to grow up (so I can save up to go with them all!!LOL) Also handsome is as handsome does! :grin: I'm sure he is just having an ugly duckling moment! The puppies are looking really well I must say so bouncy & you are keeping Modget!

HH throughout childhood then the Route Harriers then the HH again for ten seasons (500+ days on one horse :)) then the Fermanagh Harriers - hunting is still legal in NI
have also hunted with the Beaufort, the Garth (as was), the Vine & Craven, the Cattistock, the Four Burrow, the Crawley & Horsham, the Aldershot Beagles ... i think I've missed a few ... and several packs on foot.
I haven't hunted on the mainland since the ban, so I don't know what it's like now. The FH are a cross-border pack, so a lot of our days are down south.

when I was still a blood thirsty bastard I hunted with the Fife Foxhounds, the Pytchly (sp) and I had the honour of hunting with the 'Black and Tans. The B and Ts were hunted by Thady Ryan and it was like taking part in a piece of history-Ive never had such a wunderful time hunting in my life :cool:. As far as Im concerned, Ive done the best :p. Im now an ANTI :shocked:. M.
