Hunts in Durham, Tyne and Wear, Northumberland... poss North Yorkshire

[ann-jen]

Anyone hunt on a Thursday? I really would like to take my mare hunting this winter and she's never been before so would like to go midweek when its quieter. I'm off work on a Thursday so just wondered if anyone hunted then. Most of my truly local packs seem to go out on a Wednesday which is no good for me.
Thanks

Tynedale, I think, sometimes go out on a Thursday. Also look up days for North Tyne and Border.

Thanks... so far its looking like I have choice of either the Tynedale or the Morpeth...

ooops don't know why this went on twice lol

I'm keeping an eye on this thread. Tynedale are doing a sort of 'intro' to hunting fun day on the 16th October where you can pick the level you want to go on etc which sounds good.
I also want to go hunting this winter and I'm looking at going with either Morpeth or Tynedale

 

[ann-jen]

Oh that sounds interesting. I'd maybe go to that... I'm doing the Tynedale ride next weekend so might find out a bit more then

I know it's not much help but the Hurworth and the Bilsdale go out on a Tuesday. I think the Cleveland do too.

North Yorks -Staintondale Hunt, think its Tue and Thurs - its been a while

 

[ann-jen]

Thanks guys. Tuesdays are definitely a non-starter for me with work unfortunately.
Whereabout does the Staintondale hunt? I think it might be bit too far south for me. I'm already having palpitations at the thought of how early I'm going to have to be to meet the Morpeth for cubbing LOL.

Tynedale put on a few thurs meets through the season. They have some nice country and optional jumping in some areas. Haydon, Border and North Tyne are weds and sats. They are all pretty much non jumping packs (North Tyne def).
The Percy occasionally do other by days but think that might just be mondays!
Hope you find one to go with!

Thanks... it looks like the Morpeth and the Tynedale are my best bet for Thursdays and if she takes to it we shall maybe see about going out with the braes on weekends. I only want non-jumping until I can see how she reacts to the hounds and cantering in a group (without taking off with me I hope lol) and if she copes with all that ok gradually introduce some jumping too...
Although my instructor jumped her today and doesn't think all is lost with her original career!

I've been out with both the Morpeth and the Tynedale - although they pronounce it like tin-dale! They were both nice hunts and nothing too hardcore

 

[ann-jen]

Thanks thats nice to know

We're off out cubbing with the Morpeth in the morning.

 

[ann-jen]

Might see you out and about then as there's a few of us going out on a Thursday now

Staintondale are Tues and Fri - occasionally Sat instead. They're on the east coast between Scarborough and Whitby.

 

[ann-jen]

Aw thats too far for me really anyway.... I'm still gulping at the thought of getting to Morpeth before 7am LOL
