Mr T Lamyman was kind enough to allow us to hold our working tests on this fabulous ground. With lakes, hillsides, rough cover and trees, this is a test setters’ paradise.
On this Easter Saturday, we were bathed in sunshine for most of the day, but a chill wind blew along the valleys, keeping the dogs cool and helping with scenting.
Sue Lowe was our Chief Steward and Julie Campbell, Martin Eveleigh, Mike Birchall and Andy Slingsby were our judges for the twenty two novice dog/ novice handlers and seven Intermediate dogs.
