Summary "Foxhunting on the Lakeland Fells" by Richard Clapham is a detailed account of fox hunting in the rugged fell country of the Lake District, written in the early 20th century. The book explores the unique aspects of hunting in this challenging terrain, emphasizing the importance of following hounds on foot rather than horseback due to the area's mountainous landscape. Clapham illustrates not only the thrill of the chase but also the distinct characteristics of the fell fox and the specialized hounds used in this regional sport. The opening of the work introduces the picturesque yet treacherous landscape of the Lake District, providing a vivid description of its fells and valleys while highlighting the allure and challenges of hunting in such an environment. Clapham explains how the local farmers have instituted fell hunting as a means to protect livestock from fox predation, and he paints a picture of the active lifestyle associated with this tradition. The narrative gives practical advice for prospective hunters, detailing the physical requirements and preparations needed to effectively enjoy the sport on foot, ensuring the reader appreciates the blend of adventure, nature, and personal endurance intrinsic to fell hunting.
