Hi,

Is anyone thinking of going to this? Thinking i might try and go and stable him the night before as we will only have done 4 runs and was really wanting to do 6

Whats the course like? Was going to maybe do novice, but after some consideration think we will stick to BE100 and try and upgrade to novice next year.

I'm hoping to, but not decided yet. There is no plain BE100 just the 100 open btw as I was thinking about the 100. Looks like we'll be sticking to Intro this year!
 
I am going to go, I was thinking about upgrading to the BE100 but im still thinking about it! This will be my third one this year due to pony illness!
 
We'd be going day before & stabling I think. Multimap says 5 hours & I think I'd add one at least to account for Sherman lorries inability to do hills at more than 30mph!

Hi guys. I'll be there (hopefully) but just doing intro.

Seems like Burgie is one of the beefier courses around. big and bold. It's very hilly, there are a couple of real puffers if you or your horse are lacking in fitness.

The PN course that ran for Big Burgie was fair and rode well, although there was a skinny before the water which did seem to cause a lot of problems.

I believe that, burgie isn't recommended for a gentle move up a level.

Whatever you do - have a blast

I won't be there this year

I did it as my second novice last year. I'd say it's quite meaty but if you have a bold horse it's a good one and it rides really well. Only problem is though that it's the last scottish BE of the year so if you don't have a good time you may have to wait to next year to rectify things.
 
Hi gemjar. I'm prob not the best one to ask as I haven't done the pn course, only a couple of jumps. I'm not established at intro yet, so haven't really considered the pn course in detail, only as a spectator.

A lot of the jumps are shared. I think you would have a bigger jump into the gully, the bigger wall on the right after the gully.
PN sometime use the trekhaner in the dogger bank field. I believe there was a skinny brush following the first wall from the dogger bank field into the gully field. The rail ditch roll top combo was a bigger roll top, two strides to ditch, then rails away for pn if I remember rightly.

jumping down toward the water jump, there was a fairly beefy log at the top of the hill, bigger than intro and set closer to the top of the hill, and there is the skinny palasade right before the water now that they put there for big b in June.

tell you what, when I get home i'll look at the programme from big burgie and give you a proper comparrison.
 
I'm going. Have done the novice there past few years and did my very first one here. I'd say its up to height but pretty straight forward so quite a nice first novice as long as your horse is fit :P Id say its a nicer first novice than Aswanley next week which is very ditchy! There should be course pics on EWW as think I took them last year.
