Hi, Has anyone been to East Bysshe as i wondered what the jumps and water was like there. Or has anyone got any links to photos for the jumps and especially the water at East Bysshe. Im struggling to find a website for this xc venue. Thanks
 
Not 100% sure as I haven't been there since April but a friend of mine who went there 2 weeks ago said they have taken out the water and made it into a kind of sunken road as the water was always to deep to do much with

Jumps are ok if you are looking at lower/middle levels and there are one or two trickier jumps such as the bank, coffin, tractor tyres, trakehner and a big hedge. A lot of the bigger jumps are on a track around the fruit farm.
Here are some pics from when I was last there in April: (sorry I don't have any of the jumps on their own and I'm not sure how to downsize the pics!

Thanks very much .... quite good to know that the water may have gone...it did look very deep. Your pics are great and give us some idea, Thank you

Well as you can see from the pic above when i went there it was up to their hocks and my horse is 16.1hh!!
It's a bit more like a pond than a water jump which is why i think they took it out. there is a smaller bit which is a bounce step down and up through some shallower water but they may have taken that out as well

I haven't been to East Bysshe for a couple of years, but when I did, the water was about 3ft deep! And the paddle in area was being re-shingled so the only alternative was a jump in and out = no way!!
 
I never had any problem with the water there, and used to jump my 14.2hh in and out it! I've been in there on a 13.2hh as well!
