We regret to inform everyone that due to recent weather conditions, and more forecast rain this week we are left with no option but to cancel our autumn Hunter trial.

We have reviewed a lot of different options but it simply comes down to us just not be able to safely get an ambulance over to one side of the course in an emergency. Your safety is paramount, and we cannot run in these conditions. Having undulating ground is brilliant.. but not when it’s wet wet and vehicles are getting STUCK even when just doing preparations.

We are very very grateful for all the entries and messages as this weekend was due to be very popular.
We hope to see you again in 2025, and will announce our March date as soon as possible.

Refunds will be processed before the weekend.

Belated happy 2024 🙌🏼

We have been rather quiet the past few months. Mary Babbage, wife of founder Brian Babbage sadly passed away in September.

Even in her last few weeks, Mary still asked to be taken up the XC to see the view to which she’d always say, ‘wow, how gorgeous’.

We will be opening shortly, with news to follow on our 2024 dates.

Thank you to everyone who supported us in 2023 and we look forward to seeing you again this year!!
