25/5/14: a great day out at "Tarlo Hill" courtesy of Wal Ashton with 9 couple working almost as well as Mary Moran in a pre-dawn kitchen. Thank you Mary for a fabulous lunch, which was most ably presented by Paul! Lovely to see Susie Castle-Roche back out in the field.
08/6/14: Great days Hunt at "Arthursleigh". A very warm morning proved challenging, but the arrival of some cloud cover at Midday provided better conditions for the hounds in the early afternoon. Great to see Christine Beard join us for a trail ride on Saturday, and to see Kim Storer and her daughters Charlotte & Clare out enjoying the trail ride and the Hunt on Sunday. Welcome also to Tina Chappars from Virginia, USA joining us for her first day out.
11/06/14: A great day out - 5 and a half hours in the saddle on the edge of Collector Village. Master Toller Cave at the tender age of 6 was full of beans all day!
15/06/14: A wet start to the day and icy winds provided tricky conditions for the hounds, who never the less hunted well.
22/06/14: A misty morning provided good conditions for the hounds, who provided a number of good runs for the field. Great to see Penny & Abby out for the first time in the season proper and a big welcome to newcomer Sophie Noller from Picton. Also a visitor from France, Joseph Cuvelier, who followed the hunt and took some pictures. Jo has a strong connection to a Stag Hunt in the Compiegne Forest outside Paris. He has kindly provided some photo's of "La Futaie des Amis" which can be viewed in our photo gallery.
29/06/14: Hunting at "Cardross" postponed to July 9th due to high winds.
06/07/14: Hunting at "Tarlo Hill" with a fairly fresh breeze making things challenging for the hounds. Their good work was rewarded and we look forward to less breezy conditions! Thanks to all the brave souls who came out for the day.
13/07/14: Hunting at "Little Vale" in fabulous conditions. Incredibly we drew a blank all day despite the best efforts of our Hounds.
27/07/14: Hunting from the Sutton Forest Inn to "Roscoe Park", "Ravenswood" and "Newbury Farm". Hounds performed well and were rewarded. Plenty of new faces out enjoying the day which was great to see. All enjoyed a great meal back at the Inn on a perfect Winters Day.
02/08/14: Hunting on a Saturday at "Wingello Park" - a small group of us enjoyed a fabulous day out with the hounds accounting for a brace. A five and a half hour marathon providing a testament to the fine condition Donnchadh has the hounds in.
10/08/14: "Bangadilly Station" - a challenging day with the hounds performing well none the less.
17/08/14: "Arthursleigh" - hounds hunted well. Drew at the first cover and hunted their quarry for the majority of the day. A good result in wet conditions.
24/08/14: "Wingello Park" - hounds worked well and were unluckly to be unrewarded.
31/08/14: "Tarlo Hill" - Spring had certainly sprung with a very warm day greeting us after a couple of wet weeks. To hear the hounds in full cry was an absolute joy as they pursued their quarry.
07/09/2014: "Bangadilly Station" - a cooler day where hounds were very unlucky early.
21/09/2014: "Newbury Farm", Sutton Forest. Hounds unlucky on the first draw and then the field enjoyed a good run as Hounds hunted well up onto Mount Gingenbullen. Lovely to see a couple of new faces out for the first time.
Closing Meet: September 27th & 28th
Closing meet was held at "Arthursleigh", Marulan , with Hunting on both Saturday & Sunday. Saturday afternoon was the pick of the days, with the Hounds accounting for a brace, whilst Sunday was a tad on the warm side - with sunburn the order of the day! A great night was had Saturday evening and a top BBQ lunch on Sunday enjoyed by all.
A Huge thank you to all out Landowners and our fabulous Huntsman, Donnchadh Brown and Whip, Paul Moran for all your sterling work through the season. Big thanks also to Emma Brown for her support of Donnchadh behind the scenes.
