Badminton XC thread

[Supertrooper]

I’d already promised OH that I’d go to a car show so won’t be able to watch live ??

But hopefully they’ll be some updates via this (especially Pippa’s rounds)

Thanks

 

[Steerpike]

Following as I'm not able to watch live!

 

[The Bouncing Bog Trotter]

It is very very very busy here. We queued to get into the car park at 0745 and there are rows of cars in front of us

 

[fetlock]

Thanks for the thread.

I bit the bullet last night and paid my twenty quid to watch it today - can't wait!

 

[MyBoyChe]

Thank you, Badders tv says coverage starts at 1030 so was worried it had already crashed!! Will go and do a bit of housework then to keep occupied

 

[Jeni the dragon]

I'm stuck working but sister is having a couple of friends over and a picnic while watching! Not jealous at all!
Will be keeping an eye on here for updates!

Right. This needs addressing:

1. What were you thinking? A car show? On badminton Saturday?!!!!

2. You need to hurriedly feign sickness. You can’t possibly go to a car show and puke all over the cars can you?

3. I Refer you to point 1

But forsooth Supertrooper put it in your diary for next year! ???????

It’s all set up on the tv and I’m about to surround myself with snacks ?

[Tiddlypom]

All set here.

Wearing my official Badminton tee shirt (not current year's offering).

Good broadcast quality so far.

 

[Ambers Echo]

Here we go. I got goosebumps at the cheer that went up as they jumped the first

 

[clinkerbuilt]

Just tuned in late - is this Ian Stark commenting?

Me too! God, I’ve missed it.

 

[Tiddlypom]

Just tuned in late - is this Ian Stark commenting?

Yes.

 

[Ambers Echo]

Course looks like it’s riding well

 

[clinkerbuilt]

"your course in Maryland" okay yes it is.

 

[Ambers Echo]

Spoke too soon ?

 

[Lexi_]

Oh that’s annoying! I’ll be interested to see that combo ride through the rest of the day - it looks an awkward line.

 

[clinkerbuilt]

rotten luck on that corner

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

Oh, naughty from Classic here, he’d been super up till then (3 stops at nyetimber corner rail for those not watching)

 

[Supertrooper]

Just managed to watch that. She looked like she was going so well till then

 

[sasquatch]

The two Irish horses look so much like my mare it makes me wonder what she’d be like xc

 

[Lexi_]

I am oddly charmed by the egg box fences!

 

[conniegirl]

The jolty coverage is making me feel sick. Not impressed i paid £20 for this

 

[DiNozzo]

Toledo just grows doesn't he? He LOVES all the crowd!

 

[Lexi_]

I was just about to say I didn’t think we’d seen the broken bridge fence yet and then Toledo flies it ?

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

Lovely sympathetic riding at the end from Padraig C, Fallulah looking a little weary.
