Well it could be a lot worse! - There is a fair amount of cut in it.. take-offs were a bit chewed up by the end of the day, but not 'boggy'. Main tricky areas were in the woods, where the going alternated between deep/slippery, however think the novice takes a slightly different route anyway. The first water was taken out of the intro today due to the water levels being too high, but it was in the PN this afternoon, so I guess that will all depend on how much rain we have overnight/tomorrow. Dressage and SJ seemed to be holding up well, but decent studs needed!
Goodluck tomorrow, hope it goes well

No worries, don't want to make it sound worse than it is - the best part of the xc actually rode fine - and I think you avoid the worst part of the woods that the intro/PN had to do. Goodluck!

The majority of it is very good its not too slippery at all.yes it is cut up In fact I felt that I had overstudded for the dressage but that was this morning.
I would think that the going will be fine tomorrow afternoon, if we dont have any more torrential rain. Its only the woods that are very muddy and deep, but as jxd said, there wont be too much wood for you guys!!
