Fox hunting is another winner of an activity for the simple posh natives of the area. Although the "Man" has cracked down on hunting foxes with hounds, they go through the motions before "about 250,000 spectators would watch 314 registered hunts nationwide."*
But baby, that's just the registered ones. Ask around...
Anyway, check this out for now

WARNING: I have gotten letters in response to this asking if this anything like cock-fights, which is a stupid question. England is first world - cock-fights are third world. F*cking peasants.

Since the Sedgefield Racecourse is such a source of regionwide fun, it attracts many - even more than a couple people who aren't emotionally strong enough to watch the horses. I know folks who cry when they see the horses smashing their legs against the barriers as they jump them, who bemoan the fate of the horses, etc.
If you don't have the stomach for a little goodnatured animal abuse maybe lay off this trip and make a call to PETA's UK chapter or something.
