Anyone Seen the Hounds? Pelsham Wood A hunt skirts the western borders of Pelsham Wood looking for their dogs. After much blowing of horns they thundered southwards down the valley whilst the distinct yelping of hounds could be heard around Poplar Wood to the north. Unfortunately, the latter meant changing my route.
