Are Mobile phones - on silent - allowed?

[Shay]

My dd is going to a newcomer's hunt next weekend. She's done a mock PC hunt before and pony is a very experienced hunter. She's with freinds, but I'd like her to have her mobile phone with her for safety. Normally she'd have it on a neoprene holder on her leg - but I've never seen anyone hunt with a phone attached. Is it not done? Can I send her with her phone? (on silent or turned off of course!) Should she put it in her jacket?

I bet nearly everyone has a phone somewhere on them, my daughter always carries one, on silent/vibrate in her pocket. Don't worry about it

I take one with me in my jod pockets, just like to have it on me in case of emergencies. Hope she has a lovely time!

I have mine in my jod pocket on vibrate, never know when you might need it. I went cubbing the other week and the two people leading the hunt where on opposite sides of a hedge so they got their mobiles out and had a chat about where to go next :crazy: :grin:

Most hunts don't mind so long as there not going off all the time!
Whatever did we do before mobiles?!

We always have our mobiles on us and are forever ringing everyone to find out where they are etc. My boss usually gets me to ring the yard everytime I jump/fall off etc to tell them all about it :crazy:

I always carry mine in my jacket pocket. This is because I hack to meets etc and have to ring my mum/whoevers out to let them know I'm going back.

Our Field Master normally gets his out when he loses the pack, so no, they don't mind as long as they are on silent!

I usually have mine on silent, tucked into my jods pocket.
