Trying to get out on some courses but everytings so wet. Can anyone suggest courses for hire in Cumbria, N.Yorkshire, Newcastle or even Cheshire area?? Heights from small to novice BE height ideally. THANKS
 
Ok not all are BE courses but here you are
Northallerton
Richmond
Gloucester lodge
Foxberry Chasers
Helen Bells
Ivesley
High Plains
Titlington
Upsall Grange
Yorkshire Riding Centre


Also I don't know if Hexham and Hunwick open for schooling but they are BE courses in the area.

Will have a think and see if I can come up with any more

ETS: Try the chasers and riders website - they have quite a lot in the area
 
There's also a BE course at Hedley West Farm at Beamish.
Jamie Atkinson sometimes lets people hire his XC jumps but they are more of a collection of jumps in a field than an actual course.
There is also XC at Low Fold Farm at Sunnybrow but the farm is in the process of being sold so I don't know how viable it would be to go there or what condition the jumps are in these days.
 
Cumwhinton opens for schooling mid-April. Intro - Novice size. Nice & easy to get to, fantastic water with lots of options (walk in/out, step in/out or jump in/out). PM me for the number if you like.
 
On top of those already mentionned i can think of:
Todburn
Hexham (not available for hire but they open the course for schooling after the BE event and after the PC event).
Armondside

High Plains have an open day this saturday (they have about one a month) but you can ring up and hire at any point depending on the weather going etc. If you need any info about High Plains let me know.
 
Have you tried David Coate's 'Craven Country Ride'? Just outside Skipton at Coniston Cold, loads of fences to practise over

, I'm not sure if he's open properly again yet, I know he held a ride there over Easter, but sometimes doesn't reopen till end of April/May
