FOUR wheels rather than legs led the annual Boxing Day Hunt as icy conditions failed to ease.
Taking place from the Cook and Barker pub in Newton on the Moor hunters this year took to quad bikes as icy conditions made the trail treacherous for horses.
The trail was led up the hill by the bikes and Master of the Hunt, Michael Hutchinson said: “It was a short but jolly day.”
The New Year’s Day Hunt is due to go ahead tomorrow.
Those taking part and supporters should meet at the Barbican at Alnwick Castle at 10.45am for 11am.
