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.

Given the continuing wet ground conditions we have reshuffled the meet card to allow us to head to the free-draining hills of the North Downs again this weekend. This is a day for everyone with all optional jumping and stunning views.

Don’t forget to bring a mug for a hot drink after hunting and something sweet or savoury to share at tea.
