Stratford Hills

I haven't been before but i have heard from quite a few different people that the ground gets very hard. I thought about doing it but i'm going to Milton Keynes the following week instead because of that.
 
I went there last year and the ground was hard, but rides really well! Good grass coverage also. SJ not particulaly up to height, and a nice flowing XC

I havent been for a few years so it may have changed a bit, but by the looks of the course pics from last year it is still pretty straight forward.

Have heard very mixed reports about the ground but like you, am hoping that this weeks rain will help soften it as I am also going having had to re-route after being balloted from Longleat (grrr)
 
Course is being changed this year, part is going a different way apparently.

Going is good if everywhere else is cancelling because it's too wet, otherwise can be rock hard.

We have 2 running so hoping for lots of rain.
 
Really hoping this rain will sort the ground out, too.
We have swapped Steve into the BE100...from BE90...so hope we have done the right thing! We are there on Saturday.
 
Nope didn't see your dressage, only just got to see her do hers and her SJ and then was on the quad (for the second day running). Did at least get to see most of her XC

Sprout? Haha
We're First Impression III - great for his BSJA as he's totally awesome....BE....when we have do do circles?....Maybe not

He's called Chester...amongst other things. We'll probably be last at Stratford as they're slipping us in at the end after substituting our JRN entry [really don't think the ground will be good for P]
