Hi cazd,

Just got back from a wonderful day. Hope everybody who went got round safely.

Bluebells were pretty but the mud was yuck, knee deep in places.

I even popped over a log, don't jump normally but got carried away........Lol !

Can't wait to see the pictures.

We had a good day too - although the section through the muddy woods at the end did take the edge of it somewhat. My horse is partially sighted so we didnt chance the jumps. Shame the photographer was at the the water jump as I didnt even dare take her through that to clean her off LOL

That mud put a dampener on it for me too - as my lad had a suspensory injury last year I was bricking it. Terrific day though. Photos are now up at www.xcphotos.co.uk

Seen the pictures tho' reckon I need to buy a maqnifying glass to look at them !
They had several camera points but mostly focused on the jumps and when you don't do the big jumps you don't get a good action shot, shame as I'd love a good picture of us.

Went thro' the water twice trying to clean off the mud. That section thro' the wood seemed to take forever, hard work for them, and my horse wasn't struggling with an injury or not able to see where he was going.

Why didn't you go then Sammi ?
Three hundred and eighty people went through, should think they raised quite a bit for the air ambulance. Fingers crossed that we never need it !

Going to do the Ledbury one on Sunday, anybody else going ?

PL.
