cragman 2,763 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Yep, they've finished. Easter used to be the best craic with the fell packs. Good friday with the Eskdale at Little Langdale and a sing song / auction after hunting, saturday with the Coniston at Troutbeck and monday with either the Ullswater, Blencathra, Eskdale or Coniston. Every B&B was booked up for miles, a truly great weekend which I miss more with every passing year. It was a time to meet up with like minded folk, lots from Wales came up and a good party from down south made the journey. When they banned hunting they also knocked the stuffing out of these yearly events. A crying shame. Kipped in some rough places over that weekend, but the hunting.... 2 Quote Link to post

Bush Rummager 4,459 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Cheers for the replies folks.. looks like i've shot it then, shame really, was always a good turn out.. top top days.. Just left Mines Bridge one year on the way home and i bumped into my old companys M.D and his wife out walking, not bad really seeing as the company is 140 odd miles away! turned out he had got a nice little holiday home up there... not bad for some eh!
