I took my boy and will be taking him again this year. It was fantasic - a little short (about 7 miles) but we rode it rather fast and got round very quickly!!
You are only allowed to walk on the xc course but that was good for me as a) my 14.2 was the same size as the jumps and b) despite loving xc when he was younger he was scared of most of them and wouldn't go near them!
We did however have a good canter up champions avenue in a big group with another couple of riders we had got chatted to
There was a mixture of everything, tracks to have a canter, open fields and a fair bit through some woods. It was very busy though so not one for a horse who is not great on pleasure rides or being overtaken etc.
