Furthest you travel

[The Field Hunter 132]

Was just wandering what's the furthest you lads travel for just one night's lamping ? 

[Black neck 16,044]

Several yards

Most of my permission is with 1 hours drive, but I’ve traveled much further… not so much lamping, but day time work. 

[SheepChaser 8,089]

Normally five to ten mins but will do five or six hours if needed but under two much kinder on the way home! When I lived back where I grew up everything was hours away so you got used to it, now I’m lazy.

6 miles. But only day time and evening.

I live in Cumbria..if you ain't prepared to travel 2-4 hours away you needn't keep a dog well not if you want to test it anyways,that's how it's been for 30 years now..barren of gear in the vast majority of places up here..200 mile plus nightly trips I done 4/5 nights weekly when I lived for the hours of darkness..I can never understand all this 'if only you were closer & it's too far away' sh##e,we live on a tiny island where you can go from north to south in less than a day in a car

Many many moons back we used to travel 100 miles out for a hunt, dig or a run.

Now my farthest bit of permission is 16 miles away

Cheers, D.

Not really, just not as keen as I was, but, it is nice to park in farmyards nowadays

Cheers, D.

I hear you loud & clear matey ..must be some buzz parking in the farmyard is it? ..my youngest lad has just messaged saying he done 156 miles last night for ONE run, thankfully a successful one but that's the top & bottom of things around these parts these days D,he got in the house at 4.30am & now he's off to work,jeez I'm glad I'm done with that lamping game the memories of it all are flooding back..hope your keeping well fella

[dytkos 17,813]

It's still a strange feeling every time lol. 

Keeping ok mate tbh, not too much to complain about but I still do.

Got a 14 MTH old pup on and he's still very puppyish, pretty much retired my other 2 lurchers and the terrier so it's a bit of a lottery when I go out now but still enjoying it, mostly

Cheers, D.
