Anyone got any inside info about this event. The weather forecast does not look great. What are the chances of it being on?

The ground holds up well to rain, if anything it can be on the firm side. They always work really hard on the ground. It's a lovely event.

Hi

I live about 17 miles from the event, so far the last wet spell we had was last thurs/fri night. Its been warm i reckon the ground should be ideal, however i will have probably just tempted fate!

What days are you all competing on?

 

[Joss]

Good oh, was a bit worried as still no sections up on the BDWP site. We are competing both days. OH in the Intro on Sat & I am doing the AI (!!) on the Sunday. Fingers crossed for a drier time than we had there last year.

I'm going to cheerlead for my friend in the intro on Sunday. Fingers crossed it stays dry, my friend had a rotational fall last year (although clear at Scone(1) this year) so is hoping for perfect going!

Think the intro is only on Saturday??

It's still raining

 

[Missypp]

Yip, literally since i typed that last message its rained ever since. Im on saturday on the pre-novice!

Looks like we are going to have plenty of mud to go through

 

[Nic]

Sorry meant Saturday, this weekend is so busy all days have blurred into 1!

Still pouring here too

Hi everyone,
Don't want to hijack the post

but thought it was a good place to ask. What do you all think about the XC at Scone? I’m entered for the Intro and any info would be great.

Also hoping to take the dry we have up here south for the weekend. Have my fingers crossed.

Thanks

It's not a 1st time intro, but a nice course, pretty flat only one wee hill near the start.

As I said they always work hard on the ground. May's included a trekahner, saw bench, carrot box, sunken road thingy(!) ditch/palisade, corner. Water is roll top, stride or 2 splash in roll top out.

I was looking at their website and both the trakeners and water fences will be black flagged this year.

I do agree the intro looked quite beefy when i walked it in May.

I spoke to the secretary today and she is confident that it will go ahead. Its stopped raining and looks much brighter!!!..

Keep my fingers cross.

Thanks everyone for the info. Seemed a lovely course when i walked it, just a shame horsey didn’t think the same thing. I’ll definitely be back to try again next year.

Hope everyone else got on well
