Can you bellow like a randy red deer stag? Then make a beeline for Exmoor this weekend, where the annual Bolving Competition takes place on Saturday, October 16th.

 In a valley outside Dulverton, competitors cup their hands and roar into the twilight, hoping to prompt a response from stags protecting their harems during the annual rut. It’s bonkers, fun and ends at the Rock Inn in Dulverton.

 To find out more about the red deer rut on Exmoor see the new issue of Country Walking magazine. For more details on the Bolving Competition, call 01398 323131, and to see bolvers in action, watch this video
