There a long way away from me. But I must get up there for a few days to experience fell hunting. I don’t know how much of a effect the Lake District national park ban will have on them.

Down to two days a week some of the packs but they will survive for now. 

If you want to come up let me know and I'll find out some meets and accommodation for you

I read somewere that national park only own something like 4.7% of the national park? That’s very kind of you. I will try get a couple of mates keen for it. But there not the keenest on walking down here. Let alone a fell side

Take Dido up on his offer and get yourselves up there mate. Something else it is. I had a day with E&E few years back. The meet was at Little Langdale..  stunning  place, one of quieter parts of the Lakes. I didn't get to speak to Edmund, i was cutting it fine time wise and they set off whilst i was putting my clobber on. The followers were sound though.. once they've sussed you out.. whch didn't take much doing really. Just introduced myself and land a few ice-brakers.. job done.

Dido is the man to ask I'd say.. I've only ever had hand full of outings up there over the years. I reckon you'd be fine with any of them though to be honest, it's no big issue. I did find Blencathera bunch came across a bit snotty once.. Barry himself was sound though.  In their defence they have had trouble with the anits so are just cautious when outsiders show up. 

Talk your mates into getting some miles in stomping over the fells mate... get a thirst worked up and that!!

Barry and his family are wonderful, the cathra followers absolute arse holes.....some of them anyway. 

@Gypsydog94I've not done much up there for a couple of years....yet its only an hour north of me. I know a couple of the fell huntsman really well, if you came up I'd make sure you were looked after and made welcome. Come up on your own, spend a night on my couch and we can have 2 good days up there, night in a hunting pub in between .

(obviously it's better if you can bring friends, I wasn't luring you up to groom you or anything)

I've been with invites and without, not been for nigh on 30 years but always felt welcome.

I hunted with them with Johny, magical times
