After we were recommended to a keeper up north all the phone calls and arrangements made we set a date and today was the day, we have normally finished by now but I wanted my size 11s firmly in the door,so off we went. On arrival we jumped in with the keeper for him to show us a few likely looking spots, then he left us too it, it made a change from the windy open fells we have become accustomed too, we saw 2 rabbits drop in a sandy sett so we made a start, 10 bunnies later, and a small one we made a move to a release pen that was littered with holes, but without a dog today it was just a case
