Hunts in the Durham area?

[Princess Jess]

Just wondering which are the hunts local to Durham? I run the Durham University Equestrian Club and a few of us were thinking of getting hirelings for a days hunting after the holidays...wondered if anyone could recommend a local hunt and the best place to hire from?

That's a capital idea. There are several hunts in your area (depending on how far you are prepared to travel) who I am sure would be most appreciative of your support. Arranging the hirelings could be a problem however, but the secretaries will be able to advise.

The MFHA website suggests there are 3 registered packs operating in County Durham - the South Durham, the Braes of Derwent, and the Zetland. Don't know much about them personally, except that the South Durham is a very small pack, with very tight country so you might prefer to go with one of the other two.
