There was. We heard the hounds all afternoon and saw people walking with them. The fox was quite a distance from them by the time we saw it, I guess the noise had spooked it. And it was sunny, Shap seemed to be the only place in South Cumbria not under thick cloud!

I was near Shap , the Sunday before Christmas. I have family in Askham, near Lowther Castle. Was there a Boxing Day hunt?
