Boxing Day Meet

On Boxing Day every year the Four Burrow Hunt meet at Carn Brea Castle and this year it was a cold but lovely dry morning. We went over to Jo and Paul's so that we could all go together and after parking the car we walked up the track to the Castle ...

We tried to find a bit of shelter from the wind. Some hope - it was freezing!

The area slowly filled with horses, hounds and spectators and it was a fabulous sight ...

We even saw a reindeer amongst them!

Hamish and Fred made friends with several of the hounds ...

They are beautiful animals ...

After the Master had said a few words they all moved off through the crowds ...

and we saw them passing along below us ...

It was then time to walk back down ...

thawing out in the process and return to Jo's for a coffee.
