'Autumn Hunting'

[wrighty]

Not going to join in on this thread again but needed to ask 1 question.
"Depends if your walking or on a quad!" I am assuming that this is a response to Tom's comment "But I reckon ours are steeper "
I'm no expert but I think it would still be as steep no matter how you got up it, easier possibly by quad.

 

[countess]

Does'nt feel as steep on a quad i can assure you.

 

[wurzel]

No. things are always steeper on a quad, believe me !

Pick a hill, any hill, peferably very steep, then walkup it.

Now go and get your quad. I bet you find it scarier.

 

[countess]

Yes very scary up until the point you come off the back(oh thinks this is funny!)

 

[wurzel]

Its not steep up there then !! Ha ha !!!

For most of our fields the names arev still in use as i have seen from a tithe map in the early 18th C.

One just around the cleeve from the house is called Cliffs.

For good reason.

I have ploughed it once about 30 years ago with a County but a quad would be something else.

I have just bought a ranger and that is something else !!!

 

[countess]

Have you ever experienced northumberland at its best. ie.. following hounds obviously pre ban!!

Tis a wonderful part of the country to hunt on with you Countess!! Also when I hunted up there it was all owned by i chap the Duke!! Yes he has Tennants but as you rightly said they all came out with us be it on horse or quad a held meets at their farms too!!

 

[Tinkerbee]
