Just read the really long thread, and noticed a couple of you were worried about the RIHS in 4 weeks time. Well these were the tradestands today:
And that shows the GOOD bits!!! Ground around the outer rings and international warm up was awful. Although it was still hard underneath, mud at one point was definately over ankle high! A lot of it was surface mud obviously, but dont think the RIHS will be looking as good as it normally does.
Lorries were being towed on and off today. Cars were being parked in places they don't normally have the car parking. Outside rings were ok bar number 2 which was very very cut up. Ring 3 wasn't as bad, but certainly was kicking up during the showing classes.
If we get dry weather for the next 4 weeks it might be ok, but anymore rain will be a nightmare
