    About this series

    Ron Black, the author, says, "I am a native Lakelander with roots going back to 1700, the 4th generation to follow hounds, with ancestors who stood on the cold tops at dawn, moved the heavy lakeland stone to free trapped terriers and also 'carried the horn' on occasions. Hunting will not come back in the foreseeable future, perhaps not at all, but for three hundred years hunting and the church were the central thread to many communities. This is a part of the story."

      In February 2005, shortly before the “ban” came in, I sat on a cold sunlit fell-side with my son. We sat waiting, trying to keep warm in the cutting wind. “Soon this will be gone,” I said, “and personally I don’t think it will come back.” He looked at me. “Maybe you’re right,” he said. “You’ve followed hounds all your life, you have loads of stories. Why not record them as a bit of history?” From this casual remark evolved the popular website 'Lakeland Hunting Memories'. Ron Black, like his forefathers, was born and raised in the English Lake District and here relates some of his memories of hunting with hounds, competing in fell races, the heroic exploits of his family members, along with historical accounts written in the 1800s and earlier. An evocative, and frequently amusing, record of the characters, social history and culture of the fells. Have a look at Ron’s website www.lakelandhuntingmemories.com

    After a busy working life travelling and taking on a variety of different careers I went to university as a *very* mature student. There I achieved an MA & BA, and became a lecturer. Along the way I've written quite a bit and at last have found the ideal way to share some of it with you. It ranges from local history and Italian literature to editing and illustrating Ron Black's Lakeland Hunting Memories (see www.lakelandhuntingmemories.com). I've already published some printed books at Blurb.com.When I'm not sitting at the laptop formatting stuff for eBooks I'm an equestrian artist and web designer and always seeking out a new challenge!
