Atherstone Hunt

The Atherstone Hunt is a United Kingdom foxhound pack,[1] with a hunting area of around 400 square miles (1,000 km2) within Warwickshire, Leicestershire and Staffordshire.[1][2][3]

History

The Atherstone was established in 1815 in Witherley, and known as the Atherstone hounds.[1] Between 1930 and 1950 the hunt was divided into North and South countries, but these were then reunited.[1][4]

Country

The hunt country lies within Warwickshire, Leicestershire and Staffordshire,[1] with major centres including Atherstone, Nuneaton, Coventry and Rugby. It adjoins the country of the Quorn.

Point-to-point

The hunt hosts its annual point-to-point event at Clifton-upon-Dunsmore,[5][6] with proceeds going back to the hunt.

gollark: But you also want to be able to send data up efficiently, but you're probably using much of the limited space for user data which won't get munged by recursive DNS/proxies/whatever on the session token and whatever, so now you have to deal with *that*.
gollark: Possibly? You apply somewhere.
gollark: Basically, send one query to get a session token of some sort, and then repeatedly send queries involving that to get the remaining data. But DNS doesn't guarantee message ordering, obviously, so you need to have sequence numbers and reassemble somewhere and ask for retransmits and all that.
gollark: It would be *especially* annoying to get good performance, but I guess you could just not.
