Hunting 2004
Aldington 11.9.04 .

After night rain the morning was fresh but threatening to warm quickly. A mounted field of fifteen or so with more foot-followers set off promptly at 7am and drew the home covert. Charlie was not to be found and so the pack was taken on to the Banks. At this point your reporter had to return home.

Those who watch, watched.	To the next covert	The wheeled field
