Jenny and myself went for a walk around Cold Aston and Notgrove on Saturday 7th. It was a bright and windy day and we set off from the village of Cold Aston walking initially on road before diverting through woodland. After a mile or so we were on a ridge and spotted from about 300 yards a pig in a field. A BIG field!
We had a few minutes with the pig (seemed to be a cross between a pot bellied and Gloucestershire Old Spot) I later found out his name was Bumble. We continued up the other side of the valley only to be alerted to the sound of the hounds charging through the valley
The sight of the hounds and horses is always a wonderful thing. We could hear the dogs barking and the horses clip clopping on the road for about 20 minutes afterwards. Something about that noise...
Our walk continued on the road between Notgrove and Turkdean and about an hour after seeing the hunt they suddenly reappeared.
Soon after leaving the road we were back in open countryside and we saw Buzzards and Red Kites.
