Blenheim v Burghley

[giggles mum]

Spectator-wise, which would you go to? I can go to XC day at one or the other for my birthday

Blenheim is closer for us, and we know the route. But I've heard Burghley is better for spectators, and also this year it will be really exciting because of Andrew Hoy and the Grand Slam.

Which would you go to?

I'd say Blenheim as it's only 10mins away from where I live!

However, this year I'm also going to Burghley too for XC day (first visit there since 1985). I'll let you know after I've been to both!

You could look at the list of entries and see if that sways your decision (I didn't see Zara's name down to compete at either).

Both are brilliant but Burghley has the slight edge for us - as we can get there in an hour!

if andrew hoy wins at burghley you'll be gutted you werent there!

Burghley, it's better than badminton - a truly spectacula event

i went for first time last year and really enjoyed myself

 

[Weezy]

Blenheim as its close

Blenheim as it's closer. Burgley may be more exciting because of the grand slam but really on saturday you'll only see him do a couple of jumps anyway. The most exciting day will be sunday...
Blenheim is probably slightly less crowded as well

 

[madgirl]

but i think blenhiam will be fab and slighly less people!
