At the meet
You would be most welcome to come out for a day following hounds in
Buckinghamshire with the Old Berkeley Beagles. Our members and supporters
come from all walks of life, and from a wide area in and around Bucks. We
follow trails laid over farms and estates with the kind permission of the
landowners, so we are able to explore much country not open to the general
public.
No previous experience of beagling is necessary. All you need is a love of
the Countryside, a pair of stout boots, warm clothes, a waterproof and a
hat.
Beagling is suitable for all ages and abilities. Those who are keen and
want to run after the hounds can do so, whilst those who wish simply to walk
or stand on a strategic hill-top often see more than those who run.
We lay our trails in circles to imitate the behaviour of a hare. So even if
you get left behind to start with, you will probably see plenty of beagling
during the day.
