Maybe I've remember the technical wrong - I haven't been there for a couple of years and last time was there was walking the intermediate so didn't pay huge amounts of attention to the novice tbh!
Big!!! lovely novice as its bold and attacking but not a first time one or an unexperienced one....
I wanted to do it before chatsworth this time but as i won't have done anything (unless my hobbling dramatically improves between now and hambleden) i didn't enter it as don't want to do that size straight away this year!
Withington Novice was Floyds first ever BE event and he went round clear. We went up there last year after the event and XC schooled - Olympics first time on a XC course ever and he jumped a lot of them. I've got loads of photos if you want to see what the jumps are like.
There is a bounce of rolltops in the woods - which might have a long route, a big table coming out of the woods, some quite steep steps, Coffin, corner, water is really nice.
agree it is lovely, big and bold as others have said but think you should be fine.... and like you say enter and just do dress/sj if you think the xc is too much ?? Tis all good experience for her...
