Priddy, Mendip Hills – Mendip Farmers Hunt

Hounds will also be on show running around in a state of mental distress without leads searching for food and eating horse droppings, while interacting nose to nose with young children.
There has not been any TTRO (Temporary Traffic Regulation Order) in previous years in spite of cars, terrier men on quad bikes, people & dogs slowing or stopping traffic. The police have been asked to attend, but the difficulty is that the trail layers are foxes, but the Sabbaters will be watching their every move.
