Hi,

Tuesday is our big day, but it is mostly timber although it depends on the meet as a couple of the meets are in 'hedge country' and there will be some massive hedges, so it would be best top check with the secretary first. Saturdays, there is a bit of jumping and Thursdays there tends to be stone walls and big ditches!

Tuesday is by far the best country - I hunt with the Cotts on Tuesday and it is definitely the best day for jumping. There are lots of gates and is nearly always a way around if your friend didn't want to jump.

i know the country but i didnt know if there were specific meets people would recommend should have made that clearer sorry

Anything round Ladywood, Orton Park, Braunston, Hilltop Farm, Somerby etc are all good. Ring Clare Bell, Secretary and she'll tell you!!

Go for a saturday around Withcote/ Loddngton/ Launde, you could get optional hedges but loads o post and rails/ tiger traps/ etc, and more options to go round than a tuesday x
