"It gan t grund"
(It's gone to ground)
"A fox will seek refuge from hounds or bad weather anywhere suitable - and sometimes not! In this section the "Big Borrans " are explored.
"Foxes spend a lot of time on the surface but when hunted, feel the need to breed or bad weather threatens they will seek shelter underground.
"The natural geology of Lakeland lends itself to a range of refuges, from Borrans usually associated with a high cliff or crag, to quarry spoil tips, field drains or earth banks. All these are recorded as having been used at some point in Lakeland hunting history.
"There is nothing better on a summer's evening than to lay above a Borran watching the cubs at play outside."
