Oct 31st.  The Quorn at Scraptoft.  10am.  Found in the gorse, rattled about a bit and finally got away running pretty ---- to Foxholes, where I fancy we changed.  Hunted on by ------- and lost by the Loseby Park spinnies.  An ----- fox from close to Caer Bridge was let go.  Found again in Baggrave covert.  After some time got away leaving S. Croxton on the left and Barsby on the right, and lost at last between Gaddesby ------ and Cream Gorse.  More rain, riding pretty good.
