I've been using old car batteries. Not the done thing I know but I've been swapping the same two over alternately for charging for approx 3 years now!

Who is padded man?

Ooh, that's interesting, I've got one on aubiose!

Have you only tried it this year or is it a previous thing?

Even if the field is subsequently rested for 6 months? That's what my gut is telling me but then see recommendations for it so really not sure!

It's brown slop so doubt there's much grass, if any, left! I'm most worried about it being a stinking disaster even after 6 months rest but have seen it recommended a few times but not by anyone who did it other than recently 🤷🏻‍♀️

As per the title, does this work? I'm not expecting miracles and field will be rested from hopefully April until September but will it create an unholy mess which will need clearing out or will grass grow through? I've seen different opinions on this but no feedback on how it is after 6...

Jomiluti over trousers are great, I've had mine 13+ years and still going strong. Designed by jockeys for work riders.

Keeping wrists warm was a game changer for me. I wear StormChase wrist warmers then gloves over the top. https://www.storm-chase.co.uk/product/wrist-and-hand-warmer/?srsltid=AfmBOooSY-YpYiWm_-364mjowmvQ-uuO_GLJ0TjoupfuhzxlbU0-oVFw They sometimes turn up super cheap on Vinted.

Lumiere body clock is an absolute game changer for the dark mornings and I have bird song/the morning chorus as my alarm ring tone. Been using both for over a decade now. Take it week by week and invest in quality waterproofs/gloves/rugs/exercise sheets.

I use a buff which is basically a light cotton (?) tube as a head scarf under my hat and wash that regularly. I've got the Hygge buffs which were cheaper than the genuine thing and just as good.

This!!! I've just changed by 2000 level 3 Racesafe for the 2009 ready for next year. Incidentally the RS Pro Vent is very comfortable indeed And it's EN1384 hat standard that has been withdrawn.

The bdwp page is set out differently on a phone. On mine, at the top on the blue banner it says "home page" tap that and it gives you the menu for received entries etc. This is on the events own page.

It's doable. I always shower and dry/straighten hair in the evening then it's up at 5.15am, coffee in a travel mug and on the yard for 5.50am (10 mins from home). Feed the ones on my block, muck out, hay net and water then tack up at 6.30. School, lunge or hack until 7.15 then it's rug on and...
