Were you out recently with either the Fitzwilliam (Milton) Hunt when the H&H hunting correspondent paid a visit? If so, why not take a look at the gallery below to see if you were spotted by our photographer.
Our correspondent visited this pack when hounds met at Morborne where the meet was hosted on the green by Mr and Mrs Nigel Rome on a frosty morning.
A family-owned pack, the Fitzwilliam hounds are kennels at Milton Park near Peterborough, the home of the Fitzwilliam family.
The family is currently represented in the mastership by senior-master Sir Philip Naylor-Leyland Bt. The huntsman George Adams has been in the role since 1984.
Hunting two days per week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, the country hunted by the pack extends to approximately 600 square miles from Stamford in the north to Higham Ferrers in the south. The country straddles Huntingdonshire, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and Lincolnshire.
