    So what do we think of the Badminton Cross Country Course?

    I cannot get my head around the birch rail oxers at 25 - the line looks nigh on impossible to me and that's a big test so late in the course. I'm sure they'll prove me wrong by popping through it no trouble! Was sad to see the lack of Vicarage Vee but think its still a true 'Badminton' track...
