I am new to this area, so bear with me if I sound like a complete buffoon when it comes to hunting (which I really am but I am trying).
Does anyone have any knowledge of any hunts in the Lancashire/Cheshire/Cumbria/Merseyside/West Yorkshire areas?
Any personal experience with them and could possibly advise which ones offer a good experience for a person relatively new to Hunting? Also, any information on what type of ride they offer (big jumps, walls, hedges, etc).
Thank you. :)

Come for a day out with the Holcombe, not muching jumping but some meets are better than others. Do you have your own nedlet? If not I am sure I can sort one out for you!
There is also Cheshire, Cheshire Forest, NE Cheshire Drag, Wynnstay, Flint and Denbigh over N Wales or Wirral side. Lancashire is Holcombe, Vale of Lune and Pendle Forest & Craven.
BTW I thought you lived somewhere in Lancs anyway?

I go with Cheshire Farmers Drag Hunt. Really nice bunch. Website is www.cfdh.co.uk.
They are based in Wilmslow and most hunts from around that area.
PM me if you want more info :)

I live in Lancs, just on the border with Merseyside. I am a subscriber to the Holcombe, purely for selfish reasons of wanting to do their members race (missed out on it last year) and the Cheshire scene is way too professional P2P for little ol' me!
K9h hunts the PF & C and Brighteyes with Vale of Lune.
The Cheshire days tend to be good fun with good hedges but can be a bit 'cliquey'.
You are most welcome to take my mare for a day out with us as a taster, I wouldn't hunt anything with precious legs with the Holcombe. Our pre-season starts next weekend, but I will be out near the end of September if you fancy it.

Nooooo I do not! :o :shocked: I whip-in (or attempt to!) which is a different ball game! I wish I could hunt them but not way I could, don't have the talent for that!
Good mixed hunt though, all different types of fences or ways around them as you will find out when you have a day with us! ;)

No Im at a college near me, I decided to keep horses as a hobbie but stayed to get key skills etc so in effect wasnt a wasted year, so can just go to college near me to do health and social for a year and then to uni. I always wanted to be a paramedic :)
But let me know when you are of out hunting and I will bring my boy, a couple of the girls of my yard fancy going hunting so will def be able to come :)

I've done drag hunting with North East Cheshire and always found them very pleasant/accomadating and not overly expensive..
