Winkburn or burnham market?

[Cruiseonamiro]

Left it a bit late to enter winburn, entries close 27th august - ten days time - but I havem't even sent off for my day ticket yet and the ballot date was yesterday. Should I enter Burnham market instead? What's it like - the PN? It'll be our second BE.

 

[woolly]

Burnham market is a lovely course, very inviting and with nice spaces between.

Winkburn is "lower key" than Burnham - would say course more straightforward.

Pics of both are on Eventing Worldwide.

Probably both would ballot the PN... - mind you, if Winkburn entries are uptodate.. looks like they will have space.

Little Downham is another option for you - down the A1 and across the A14... nice PN.. flat ground.
SJ on a very flat arena.

Winkburn isnt a great course and ground isnt usually that good so i wouldnt worry about missing the entries. Whilst there's nothing horrific on the course its just quite a lot of portables and i never think "that" inviting. little downham and burnham market v good options

Looking probably we're doing Burnham Market, heard only very good reports

 

[Thistle]

we will prob do Burnham too (depends on what B has at school and what day Nov is)

Well, I have already entered Winkburn PN, so fingers crossed the ground is ok for it. Although I am glad to hear the course is more straighforward!

First PN in two years, and only the second ever

Although I obviously I think you should do Winkburn, as then we can see how much our ponios match

Not done the others, but tbh I don't think Winkburn is that bad =/ there for PN & Nov.

Winkburn is fine if the ground is ok but its nothing special - they do have a decent open ditch in the PN/N so makesure yuo're well schooled over them!
