East mids options for a newbie

[dilbert]

I'm really keen on the idea of hunting but as I get older my confidence is rapidly waning. Can anyone recommend what hunts / days might be our best option?

I'm hoping to go to some of the Readyfield Hound exercise but not sure we will be brave enough for their actual hunting days.

Where abouts in the East Mids?

Are you anywhere near the East Mids/ West Mids border?

I am thinking about contacting Atherstone hunt about their pre hunting clinic at the end of September.

The Four Shires Bloodhounds are based in the East Midlands.

Friendly hunt with a second field for those who don't want to jump - you can swap between fields.

The Atherstone wouldn't be the most friendly of hunts IMO; I would put the Pytchley as leagues above....also, the Warks. No axe to grind - spent five seasons with them.
