The Mardale Hunt - A History by Ron Black The Mardale Hunt - A History by Ron Black May 20, 2012 $3.99 43219 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
Recently I was told that 95% of Lakeland was unexplored in an Archaeological sense. With the abolition of Fox Hunting in 2005 there was a slight chance that places and structures associated with fox hunting would in the fullness of time join them, lost in time and memory. It was with this in mind that I began to compile material for my website. It is not my intention for it to glorify or be used as propaganda for or against hunting, but simply to record associations with a 'sport' traditional to Lakeland for over 300 years. 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. I hope this site is of interest to you. 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.

Author bio:
Hi, I'm Linda Travelute. Some call me Dr. Travelute (Cause I've got this Ph.D. thing that attaches to my name). Some call me Pastor Linda, because I serve at one of the most cutting edge churches on the face of the planet - City of Life Church. Some call me a Friendship Doctor, because my best friend and I are into fixing friendships. (By the way, feel free to get some great friendship help and encouragement here: TheFriendshipDoctors.wordpress.com.) I've got this one super sweet guy who calls me his wife of - gulp - 21 years! And I've got two teenagers, who on good days, call me the coolest mom in the world (or was that just a funky dream? Hmm...). And to some, I'm a fitness and health coach - one who motivates, instructs, encourages, and yes, kicks butts if needed. So here's what I do: I write, I blog. I counsel. I do guest appearances on radio shows. I speak at conferences, seminars, events, churches...you name it. I have some helpful teaching videos you can view on You Tube and God Tube if you want to check them out. If there is a way I can help you and others, I'm there! Serving in the pastoral care ministry for the last 20 years at a 4,000 plus member church has allowed me to walk with others through the most difficult and critical times of their lives. Using my experience as a pastor and doctor of clinical psychology, I share with you simple, easy to apply keys to transforming your life one God-thought at a time.
