If you are unsure if a particular situation qualifies as an emergency then please phone the on-call member of staff anyway so that they can make the decision on how to proceed.

Sunday 4th February - All 4 seen - Additional afternoon check

As I was passing Camp 45 on my way back from Long Valley at 14.30, I noticed the horses from the Drag Hunt were in the pasture around ///sheets.gems.prefer. The cows had moved to the north-west and were standing around the cattle grid near Bourley Road. They were all good but seemed happy to see me, with me receiving several moos as I arrived.

The hounds, horses and riders were all having a rest. They all left Camp 45 about fifteen minutes later, crossing over Bourley Road onto the MoD land to the north.

After they left, the cows got back to grazing. I stayed with them for a while just to ensure they were okay. As I was leaving the site, I walked through the pasture just to check nothing had been left behind.
