Came across a photo of the team walking the XC;

Click photo no.5!

Looking a bit soggy! Can't wait to see what the whole course is like.

The GB team look VERY impressed with the weather

WFP looks like a school boy on a school trip!

In one of the BBC blogs, Mary King has said that it's a tough course
 
Looks like it's going to be a real test then combining speed, accuarcy and nursing some weary horses home for some I'd imagine.

I can't wait for early monday morning

Am I the only one who is likely to cry when I see the first horses going out on Monday morning? I'm getting so excited can't wait. I'll be watching and doing HHO at the same time! Anyone else?
 
French feedback is up. Not much said but the essentials: Short course but dense in the number of efforts (39) especially given local climate. Doesn't look like many - if any - will make the time.
 
I've seen photos of the whole course and it looks tough. The fence decoration is incredible- theyve done a fab job!!
 
Where did you see them? My friend sent me a link to a dutch photographer database (I think!), but I can't get the site to open...........aargh!!!

- I know a couple of the competitors and one has been putting her pics on facebook. Sorry!
 
Those fences are gorgeous! Will be good to see the course ride on Monday, it's tricky to see how some relate to each other from the photos, is there a course map anywhere?

Comment from Will Connell on the TeamGBR page is in agreement with everyone else;

"The feedback from the riders re-iterated my thoughts – tight, twisty with a time which will be very difficult but absolutely beautifully designed and built. Mike Etherington-Smith has used every lump and bump on the park to its best (or worst!) advantage and has managed to produce a course worthy of an Olympic Games. One thing is for sure, it will not be a dressage competition."
 
Wow the whole place is unbelievable, i wish i was going!!!

Course looks great, brilliantly presented. I read somewhere that some bookies have stopped taking bets on Lucinda after the course walk. Little Brit will be round quick as aflash i'd imagine!
