I’ll be there with my tradestand. We’re going to be sited up in the lorry park this time.

I might go as it's quite near me. Do you just turn up or do you need to buy tickets? Any tips - not been before.

Just turn up, park in spectators car park.
Have decent walking boots on, comfort over fashion.
You'll be able to spectate easily, I usually walk the xc and then watch the sj but can see start and finish from the xc at same time.
It looks a lovely day but if the breeze gets up like yesterday, then you'll want winter gear on lol.

Thanks, that's really helpful. Need to persuade other half to come with me now - will there be a beer tent?

How do I tell from the start list which class is which? It has letters like A, B and O in the start list but I'm not sure what these relate to?

Some lovely fit horses out this morning, Harry Dzenis x 2, Laura Collett, Mary King x 2 all flew through the finish xc in sections A and B barely blowing at all. Harry's 1st one Maximus looked like he was just having a ball, not broken sweat at all.
Friend was clear sj and xc but picked up 4 time faults xc as she was going carefully as not much prep as she wanted but still sitting inside top 15.
Ground good after the rain we've had, tho a bit soft in stressage and the odd places xc.
A great change to the usual start finish tho. Start in a little further along than usual and setting off left handed, finish wasn't far from the old P2P finish line nr the old grandstand. A great long morning out, as I managed to get there just after 8 to watch friends dressage.
