They were found hunting through the village of Ebrington. NCH stalker, Gary, is now on a bike and decided to ride it very slowly in front of the sab car repeatedly.

They went into Ebrington Manor Fruit farm. The NCH stalkers were very keen for the 3C sab not to see what the hunt were doing so blocked the camera, made up some nonsense about the landowner calling them and saying there was no footpath and started to push the sab’ away towards the road. The hounds were going back there anyway but had been showing interest in some holes, a badger sett as it turned out. Maybe the village fox had escaped into it, terrierman Chris Trotman was certainly in the area.

A sab from Mendip Hunt Sabs then joined the 3C sab and the hunt was lost for quite a long time being found again near Paxton. Gary got on his bike again and tried riding it whilst putting on his high viz as all his sweets fell out of his pocket near Charingworth.

The whipper in nearly went under his horse as they fell on the road. The horse looked very shaken and was led away.

A fox was hunted towards Compton Scorpian farm and hounds were stopped by Mendips sab, a rider then made a threat about a spike going through the car window. they packed up shortly afterwards.

A known sett was found to be freshly blocked.
