Top Gear goes hunting
Tuesday, 22 July 2008
 On Sunday 20th July, BBC2's Top Gear programme included a feature where presenter Jeremy Clarkson, driving a 4x4 painted like a fox and trailing fox scent, was "hunted" by the Ledbury foxhounds and co-presenter Richard Hammond riding Harry the hunter. Clarkson claimed that "Top Gear has saved the countryside" - see if you agree by watching the feature on BBCi here . The feature begins at 47minutes 50 seconds and will be online until Sunday 27th July 2008.
Jeremy Clarkson tried to stay ahead of the pack - but did he succeed?
A New Hunting web site: -http://www.themastersvoice.co.uk/

Aims: to create a united network of hunting folk across Britain who want something done about this ludicrous Hunting Act 2004; to champion and help co-ordinate the work of Vote-OK; work in tandem with Countryside Alliance, MFHA, AMHB and the Council of Hunting Associations; remain stoic and positive with our magazine content to bolster morale, and help secure the future of hunting with hounds in Britain.
