Badminton and rain.....

I'm lucky because I live just down the road, so am going up on Thursday for some serious shopping with a mate. Hopefully it won't be too squishy at that early stage. Yes, the forecast says more or less dry for the event itself, but there has been a heck of a lot of rain here the past few days, and a torrent forecast for the weekend, so I shall keep my fingers crossed.

Big advantage Badminton has is that it is pretty flat... So it's MUCH easier for the emergency vehicles to get around (which is why Blenheim had to cancel a few years ago - not for the footing on the course, but for getting the horse ambulance everywhere.)

Might have to take out bits of the quarry, and worry about horses getting tired as the ground might be more tiring than if try/top of the ground conditions.

If the emergency vehicles can't get about then that will be the major factor whether it runs or not.
 
I hope we get some dry weather, my first time going this year and was really looking forward to it. If its still on I best take my wellies and some spare clothes.
