Hunting around Glos - Hartpury

[hannah87]

does anyone know of the nearest Hunt to hartpury college? and if they have meets within hacking distance?

 

[Bounty]

The Ledbury are probably the closest, but it's very rare that they'll meet within hacking distance of the college.

 

[eventergirl87]

The ledbury ....... and i think they had 2 or 3 meets within hacking distance ..... well i guess its all depends how far your willing to hack

im back there next year, can wait

Ive hacked from hartpury college a few times to hunt with the ledbury. They usually meet once at upleadon which isnt too far to hack from the college. The other time i went was over at corse lawn (but thats a bit far!) and i know they meet at tweenhills, which is the stud next door to hartpury, sometimes. Hope that helps, its a nice hunt, quite a bit of jumping the times i went! Just try to find someone who knows where they are! If your on the college yard youll probably find other people who want to go.

 

[wrighty]

bramble87, if you do find out when and where they next meet I will join you there with a few friends.
I live very close to Ledbury.

 

[Eagle_day]

... and it will be a few.

 

[peakpark]

That sounds a bit menacing!

 

[wrighty]

Eagle, how can you judge amounts of friends someone might have without meeting or knowing them?

 

[Eagle_day]

No, not really. just the antis' usual piss and wind.

How do I know it's just a few, W? Long years experience ...

 

[wrighty]

I don't see your point of number of friends, I was offering to spend the day with a person not from the area in a day of legal activities,
unless the hunt are planning on breaking the law, then I will inform who ever needs to be informed.

" ... unless the hunt are planning on breaking the law, then I will inform who ever needs to be informed."

What a pompous prig you are. Don't count on being mown down in the rush.

 

[wrighty]

Nothing pompous about it, just stating a fact.

 

[peakpark]

Sounds like you would have fitted in well in Soviet Russia.

 

[wrighty]

"Sounds like you would have fitted in well in Soviet Russia"
Go on, explain.

 

[peakpark]

"I have a duty to report you to the KGB for crimes against the party"

 

[wrighty]

Oh, wit. Silly me for missing it.

 

[kirstyhen]

Were you planning on going out on a horse then wrighty as i dont think youd keep up with bramble87 if not. So offering to spend the day with a person not from the area in a day of legal activities would be a bit fruitless.
And as is so often the case the hunts dont plan on breaking the law, sometimes it just so unfortunately happens!
Doesnt shock me you missed wit either!

 

[wrighty]

"And as is so often the case the hunts dont plan on breaking the law, sometimes it just so unfortunately happens!"
I don't think that will be a good enough excuse in court.

"Were you planning on going out on a horse"
You never know, I might just run behind and try to keep up, some of the horses and riders I have seen are on the slow side. Anyway, I thought there were plenty of hunt followers that dont ride.

 

[kirstyhen]

There are many foot followers, however being on foot would not be much use to someone out on horseback who doesnt know any of the country. Would appluade you if you did manage to keep up, even with the slow ones!
Excuse my limited knowledge, but I thought that if the huntsman lost control of the hounds then that was a valid excuse!
