Oliver Townend Challenge question

[Carling]

Hi, has anyone got any pics from the OTECC events? If not can anyone explain what the jumps are like? Spooky etc. Also whats the XC like as I've never even seen an indoor xc so have no idea what to expect! Any help great!

I've been and if you click on this link below all the fences in the pictures are on the XC section. The roll top and narrow corner are the fences most had a stop at. The arrow head caught a few out as well as it's on a 3 stride related distance usually going across the width of the arena.
Good luck I enjoyed the comp

If it is anything like Hartpury you will get an awful lot of jumps in a very small arena with lots of very tight turn which seemed to catch people out! good luck!!

I wanted to do this but our nearest is bloody miles away. They say its a nationwide thing - ummm, well there's only ONE venue in the whole of Scotland doing it!

Bishop Burton was exactly the same!

Watch the time aswell ,I did D1 and on the board we were told it was 325m/s ,everyone in the class who didnt cut every corner and push on got time faults ,we think they told us wrongly so i would check
