Lowther? Anyone going?

[Baggybreeches]

I have decided that since OH and I have been trying to get away since April and haven't been away at all for 5 years that I would book for Lowther, we are (against my better judgement) going to camp. Does anyone have any tips and is there really enough to stay for 2 days? OH is a shooting and fishing kind of guy so hopefully there will be plenty to keep him amused.

Is it still there? I thought they had ditched the country fair/driving in favour of a music festival or something. Apologies if I'm wrong.

Is Lowther not at Holker Hall this year?
Maefen as far as I am aware Kendal calling is on the Lowther site but it is still going on elsewhere.

Its the game fair not the show, does that make a difference? It is definitely at Lowther Estate.

Think it is the Horse Driving Trials they dropped--sadly--fantastic location but problems with heavy rain etc for a couple of years.

No, our hounds are at Rydal Show on the 12th, but I doubt we can swing 3 days away at this time of year

On the plus side, I could always go there on my own!

Yep Lowther is on but only gundogs & I think sheep dogs? Sadly no hounds (can't see why not if they have the other mutts there!)
I am wanting to go to Lowther may take my mutt for a run!!! See how mad I am! The original Lowther would of filled you for 2 days, not sure about the new Lowther. Though you could get round the trade stands in one day at the old Lowther. It was well attended but not very large. If that makes sense!?
Am also planning on going to Rydal with our hounds just need to book the day off!

Rydal is on the 11th not the 12th which means I can't go, got to be in SOuthend for a meeting
Good luck with your hounds K. Ours seem to take a bit of beating at the moment!
Hounds are flying, and Master's horse has qualified for RIHS workers, HOYS workers, Foxhunter final and was 3rd in the National Novice SJ final in the main ring at Hickstead yesterday! I am going to stick around and hope that some of it rubs off on me!
