Rescue on Cat Luggs
What is dog to man? What is the worth of one terrier to a band of stoical countrymen who live in a harsh place in a depressed time? How hard and how long will such men strive to save a dog from perishing, out of pure respect? Our late Cumbrian friend Ron Black gave us a story to remember.
The rescue, 1934
It’s a long pull from the New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel to the site of the borran. You first climb up Stickle Ghyll following the track as it ascends, beside the beck, at first gently, but just before Tarn Crag there is a steeper section. At Tarn Crag the track swings right-handed, and you can cross the beck and follow it up to the tarn on the left bank picking your way through the rocks.

Foxhunting Life to Exhibit at MFHA Staff Seminar
Foxhunting Life will participate in Covertside’s first expo being held in conjunction with the MFHA Staff Seminar on Saturday and Sunday, April 21 and 22, at the Westfields Marriott in Chantilly, Virginia. Norm Fine will be there to talk about the website, to listen to subscribers for their ideas and reactions, and to showcase some of the products in the FHL Bookstore, including CDs and DVDs. And, in the unlikely event that there is a foxhunter who doesn’t yet have a copy of his book, Foxhunting Adventures: Chasing the Story, he will be happy to sign one or two! Norm is looking forward to seeing old friends and making new acquaintances. Please stop by and say, Hi. Posted April 19, 2012
