Just wondered what the thoughts were on Bishop Burton&Aske Novice tracks??Good for a first timer at that level or a more experienced combination at Novice level?
Thanks
 
Previously I would have said Bishop Burton was a fab first timers track. However since they held the Pony Euros last year they have seriously beefed up the Novice track. In the spring event it caused alot of problems. I was doing the Intermediate and thought the Intermediate looked easier than the Novice in places!!!!!

Aske is pretty nice, but I haven't ridden the novice track for a few years. In the earlier event this year (I had a horse in the BE100) there was a skinny to corner combination, a decent jump into water, and I think a couple of fences on top of slopes with hidden landings (I can't remember too well, as I didn't ride it!!)
