Clean Boot Hunting In Kent & East Sussex

The Coakham Bloodhounds are one of the oldest Bloodhound packs in the UK, and they hunt over a wide area in Kent and Sussex, with occasional forays into Essex. The  Coakham have been hunting "the clean boot" since they were founded in the 1970s.  This means the hounds follow the natural scent of human runners who set off ahead of the pack - no other scent is used (whether animal or synthetic) and there is no killing involved - the runners just get licked at the end of each hunt.

to get all meet info including time critical notices i.e. time/date/parking changes, road closures, cancellations etc.  All info is from Coakham admins only to stop key announcements being lost amongst general chat.

Sunday 18th January 

HUNTING POSTPONED - THIS WILL NOW BE A HUNT RIDE INSTEAD

Time: Please be mounted and ready by 12 noon. Please don’t arrive before 11am to avoid disrupting cattle feeding

Parking W3W: https://w3w.co/royal.adding.soda - parking will be on hardstanding with 4x4 on grass if still dry enough. 

We are gutted to announce that we have to postpone Sunday's hunting. The hounds are unwell - they have picked up a bug/virus so cannot hunt this weekend. Full refunds will be given.

However if you do still want to get out on the downs, Master Clare will lead a ride from the same location. Non jumping, 1.5/2 hours. It will be a beautiful route up on the downs and through the woods. No hunt dress required. No fee for the ride - turn up and enjoy. We will have tea afterwards - so please bring something to share.
