Is anyone seeing footage yet- I’m just getting a countdown. But it says programme started at 10

 

[catembi]

Countdown for me too... I am sure that the countdown was going to finish at 11 but it seems to have extended for another 8-9 minutes...

 

[teapot]

First horse isn't until 11.30 so don't worry

 

[Ample Prosecco]

Ok that’s a relief.

Which thread are people going to post on during the day? I’d prefer to stick to 1! If possible.

 

[catembi]

I am very, very antsy as I am taking my new Irish baby who is 4 today on our first outing. Polework clinic at 2...literally anything could happen... I think I can watch til 12-12.15 until I have to finish getting ready. Hopefully watching the eventing will help me to stop being so wet about going to a polework clinic...! Poles on the ground being less demanding than Badminton lake...!

Just checking it doesn’t start till 11:30, uk time?

Yes, I just checked online for the schedule as I thought first run was at 11.00 but Tom Jackson heads off at 11.30.

Just logged in on TV and coverage is starting in 2 minutes so I must have seen coverage start time of 11.00..

Is anyone else havjng trouble with live stream?

 

[Ample Prosecco]

Technical issues? Or just me. It was fine for a few minutes then not

 

[Strawbz]

Well that's a good start!

High pitched squealing, static noise and flickering cameras, and now the blue screen of doom.

 

[Ample Prosecco]

Yep me too

 

[Ahrena]

Technical issues I think. I also have blue screen of doom.

 

[Double_choc_lab]

Is anyone else havjng trouble with live stream?

Yes, made a tinny noise and now have two screens saying nain course program and submit cam 7-14.

 

[Double_choc_lab]

[Rowreach]

If you could all keep me updated please because I’m currently in Bristol departures heading the wrong way

 

[Ample Prosecco]

That angle is so tricky!

Just looking at the course right now. Scary as….

 

[teapot]

Fence 26 on a tiring warm horse... Meep.

 

[Ample Prosecco]

It’s very tough so late on

They've not taken all the withdrawls out, weirdly.

 

[Kadastorm]

Oh dear, think the commentators don’t have the live stream

 

[Parrotperson]

Anyone just got pictures and no commentary?

 

[Ample Prosecco]

Safely through first big question! My hearts pounding just watching

 

[DiNozzo]

Heard Nicola say they had no picture
