I did post Saturday but not sure if all saw it.

Any body been here before? And can give me some views on the PN course please?

Also it says undulating parkland, what does it compare to, is it as undulating as Eridge?

Also any pics would be much appreciated! thx

I went a few years ago for the intermediate and it's a lovely place. Proper old parkland, not majorly hilly but a little up and down. From what I remember the PN looked fine, nothing out of context
 
Great!

Just that someone said the Intro is the old PN. So I thought the PN would be real big!

How is the fair? is it as close and buzzy as Firle?

The sj arena wasnt great but the dressage arenas (were anyway) are miles away. The xc is fun to ride, proper flowing track
 
Just read the comments on ER and it says it is a STRONG track which rides well for good partnerships! Makes it sound quite tough.

Not sure whether to go there of grt witchinghams PN which I know, but also know is quite big.

Could do the Intro @ Brightling maybe
 
Oh! I think I might be better off doing the Intro on them! as I then have Little Mattingley PAVO so dont want a bad run b4 that!!!
 
The intro is the old PN, but is still a lovely course-flows and rides well, but yes bold in the sense its a galloping course rather than anything tight and technical. Typical parkland, like Firle if you've been, undulating rather than excessive hills-long final uphill stretch to finish.
Slightly downhill start, then fence 5 on a curve with a log, 3 strides, ditch, 2 strides, skinny.

2 waters but easy. Two pallisades on a do leg-up to height, brush after 2nd water to jump at an angle-thats about it for difficulty. I did the intro there last year, as there was no PN-hence the intro running over the PN track. However, this year there seems there will a PN, so be interesting to see what the course will like!Oooo excited!

Hope above give you a general idea!
 
Was told by a friend that the fences are well up to height but that the atmosphere is really good there.

I'll be doing the Intro there with my mare.
