About 3 I think - but they don't have to be double clears.

There is criteria in the rule book - has to be less than a certain penalty score in dressage / SJ and I think youmight be allowed 1 stop XC (may be getting confused though).
 
That seems like a lot of clears to get before you can compete in something the same height just over 2 days!

Does going HC count?
 
Yes HC would count as the rules just say Novice or higher.
Also unlike the FEI rules (which allow only the current or preceeding 2 calendar years^) there is nothing about a time limit just that you need the 4 clear rounds XC with 16 or less SJ pens.

^ PS for CCI* one of the qualifying results has to be within 3 months of the event
 
Its a CIC I want to do. So I dont even need a 2 day to qualify but have always wanted to do one so am going to try and do it! But if I dont have 4 clears by then (July) then I wont do it
 
Are you aiming for Gt Witchingham then?

So am I - was aiming for it last year actually but Lex has been injured since April.

Fingers crossed for this year!

Ambition is a 1* - just want to wear top hat and tails before I retire!

It's not the same height. 2 day Novices are basically the same as a novice except some of the fences are intermediate/1* height / technicality I believe. I was planning to do a 2 day earlier this year but instead did the 1 day novice. I walked the courses, basically the 2 day followed most of ours but had the odd bigger / scarier / more technical fence. I thought a 2 day novice is basically an intermediate?!
 
MagicMelon - a Novice 2 day is not the same as an intermediate ! The max heights/widths XC are the same as Novice. It is likely that there will be a few more at the maximum height & may look scary but this would be due to the fact that same Novice fences are not at the max.
 
Oh. They novice 2 days Ive seen had the odd fence which looked massive...?! I guess the 1 days might not be up to height, they seem it though! I always thought a novice 2 day was like the step between a 1 day N and an Intermediate.
