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.

ST HUBERT'S DAY

TUESDAY 3rd November

Montague, Hankham, East Sussex

by kind permission of the Hole family

Time: Mounted and ready by 12 noon

Parking: Available in both cattle yards

W3W: https://w3w.co/stacks.flips.smile 

We will be meeting on the TUESDAY (rather than the normal Wednesday) because it is St Hubert's Day.  St Hubert brought the ancestors of our hounds with him in 1066 when he arrived with William the Conqueror. There’s even a stained-glass window commemorating him in nearby Westham Church, which stands on the very site where they landed!

And what a day we have in store! Expect plenty of jumping opportunities, with optional hedges and timber rails to add a little extra excitement. Not keen on jumping? There are alternative routes, but please be prepared to tackle gates instead. Any gate you open MUST be properly shut behind you.

Afterwards, please bring something savoury or sweet to share at tea, along with your own mug for a well-earned hot drink.
