“FOXY ladies” from a hunting group have bared almost all for a fundraising calendar.

Women from the Tynedale Hunt, based in Northumberland, were photographed naked with only saddles and hunting paraphernalia to protect their modesty.

The 2013 calendar is being sold to raise money for the Great North Air Ambulance.

The idea came from head from Claire Angus, who convinced 14 other volunteers aged 18 to 65 take part.

She said: “It was amazing how much we were chatting to each other and the experience brought us all closer together, even though it was really cold.”

The photographs were taken by hunt member Verity Johnson. The calendar is available now, priced £13.95.
