Closing Meet at Butterfield We couldn't have asked for better weather
for closing.
There was a great group of people out
and one of the land owners
was nice enough to accompany us for the
hunt.
There were a number of blistering runs
where we were close
enough to hear the hounds music echoing
in the woods.
Half way through, the tally ho wagon was
much appreciated, as
we were all parched from the exertion.
After our ride, we had a wonderful breakfast
provided by
various members. They outdid themselves
in quality and selection.
Sad to see the season over, but what an
ending....
