X-C Course

The course runs over attractive undulating Somerset countryside, incorporating a wide variety of well built permanent inviting fences which make use of natural features. It comprises two water complexes, a sunken road, three sets of steps and a bank complex. Well constructed portable fences are used with good effect to provide variation on the course. The spring course will follow a more traditional route, fences will be up to height and all three tracks will ask a variety of questions, though the more technical fences tend to have alternatives. As always, careful attention will be paid to the presentation of the fences and to the going for all three phases of the event. Stockland Lovell have invested in their own Blec ground slitting machine, which is used in conjunction with a watering programme to ensure the best possible ground conditions. Arrangements have also been made to utilize the latest aeration machine which will further alleviate ground compaction, should this prove necessary. Course provides excellent viewing for spectators.

If shavings are required these can either be purchased per bale at the current market price or competitors may bring their own.
