Mayfield Hunter Trials - anyone know speeds?

[Pebble101]

We were wondering what speed we should have been going for the Intermediate (2'9" to 3'), or how long the course was.

What controversy?

I wasn't aware of any - seemed to run very smoothly from what I saw

Hi, the time for the 2ft9 - 3ft course was 4.20 mins, which seems quite fast i think - we were clear and fast cantered the whole way round - i thought we would be too fast by a long way, we normally are, and yet our time was 4.44 - so we came in 7th, which we're really pleased with but it does seem a very fast time!!

Crumbs I was far too fast

.

Apparently the course length for the 3' was 1835m. Now unless my maths is wrong, I make the speed 425m per minute which I thought was quite a slow speed. The normal speed for RC Novice is 450m/min.
