Bramham 2016 Thread

Wish we'd been there, Bramham is my favourite event :( I agree about the toilets (ones in the courtyard??) being nicer, was the members area nice. We haven't booked it since they decided on no dogs..

Can you still walk right up to the fences when walking the course (on dressage days)?

Well done blackhorse :)

Wonder would my dad have munchkin to stay so we can go next year....

Members loos are great. Don't be put off by the no dogs in the Members - they are most definitely allowed in the outside seating areas of both the Members bar and Bistro and we saw many dogs inside yesterday and today (including our own!)

Charliemouse - glad you had a good day, we had a grand total of no penalties at the Owl Hole, but we had a good view of 8,9 and 11!
 
Have you eaten all your biscuits yet?

No you can't walk right up to the fences before xc, you are meant to stay behind the strings. Although I can't count the number of numpties that walked up to the fences next to the campsite.

I had such a lovely time today! Fab to meet everyone :)

A huge well done to blackhorse - super round! I'll upload pics and vids when I'm home and on wifi.

I really enjoyed the ERM! It felt really nice to have that sort of buzz on course right until the end of the day and the big screen/fan zone was great (it'd have been perfect if the speakers had been pointed over there so we could hear the commentary). My crush on Sam Watson is now heightened though - he's even more dishy in person :D

Seriously :( They must be employing different event security cpy now. The last time we were there they went from dogs anywhere to no dogs in members area at all. That's good to know :)

Shame about walking up to the fences, though it was obviously only in dry weather anyway, but I suppose cd go and look at them on Sunday after xc finished. .

Vallin I think you must have been pretty much stood next to me, I was the fence judge under the tree getting a decent view between the flags of the triple brush out of the coffin. Thankfully all the run outs were clear cut!

Quite probably! I was there for a while as there were two gorgeous irish water spaniels who needed some love ;)
 
Well what can I say about Bramham apart from thanks for the lovely mentions here on Hho. I will write a report soon on what has honestly been an epic and slightly emotional event. For now I'm off to bed! :)

I was watching that when the guy knocked all the flowers out of the bottom when he stopped and Lucinda Green helped put them back lol. Glad nothing went wrong there, seen some dodgy things before at that fence

So glad you had a good time, look forwards to the report. My brain had a moment and sorry I didn't get any pics of you :o
 
Was anyone who was there taking photos?
If so, can I be cheeky and ask if you captured my good friend in the CCI, I can PM you details if you got a few riders. She was on course half 11ish I think

Drop Vallin a pm, she took loads more than the ones she posted on the link she gave
 
We're still here! Leaving the campsite tomorrow morning, squeezing every minute out of our trip. Depressing watching everything get pulled down though! But overall we had a great week and the weather wasn't bad at all, apart from Friday morning all the rain has been at night. It's raining tonight too!
