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.

This is a fabulous galloping, jumping day with some stunning views over the North Downs. This will be a JUMPERS ONLY DAY as we cannot allow non jumpers bypassing jumps via the crops with the current wet conditions.

This will allow you all to have Mothers Day uninterrupted!
