Geocache Description:

One of several caches located on a short stroll around the quiet country lanes of Sproston Green. The circuit is best undertaken in a clockwise direction starting with the Fox/Multi, followed by the Hounds/Traditionals.

You will need to bring your own pen/pencil to sign some of the logs. Please replace the caches carefully so that they remain hidden from muggles.

Dumfriesshire Foxhound
Dumfriesshire Black and Tan Foxhounds were a pack of foxhounds kennelled at Glenholm Kennels, Kettleholm, near Lockerbie until they were disbanded in 2001. They were established by Sir John Buchanan Jardine, author of Hounds of the World (1937), after the First World War. The hounds are believed to have originally been created by crossing Bloodhound/Gascony blue/English Foxhound. They were larger than standard foxhounds and were black and tan. Although that pack was disbanded in 1986, there is a pack descended from them in France, known as Equipage de la Roirie, and they are used also by the Equipage Pique Avant Nivernais as staghounds along with the Français Blanc et Noir hound.
