Yes
........it's been cancelled.
 
I don't live that far away, driving back in last night I've seen flooding in places I've never seen before but some of the usual culprits were OK.
I think it's because this is all recent wetness instead of a winter-long soaking.

At least this news has resolved how I'm going to get off the Fossway past the motorway junction to Bath on Friday evening. It was looking like a potential traffic nightmare! :)

The guy in the photos was he hiding a fag behind his back?
 
Well, that's the water jump sorted, and the water jump, and the water jump...

Nope. That's Hugh Thomas, the event director. He was holding his coat tails down, because it were a bit blowy loik!
 
Ah I see.
 
Apparently Chatsworth next week is expecting a lot more extra folk (riders) :)

Yup, they've added an extra class to the 3* by all accounts. Shame that it's running at the same time as the RWHS down here!

yes just read, did tip it down here last night though, shame as forecast for rest of today and weekend is good, bet its cost Chatsworth a packet!

"Due to waterlogged ground (22mm alone last night), we have sadly had to cancel the Horse Trials this weekend. If you have pre-booked tickets online, a member of the Chatsworth team will contact you to arrange a refund within 10 days. We appreciate your patience and apologise for any inconvenience caused"

Ouch!

One or two events at Inter and about wouldn't be too bad, but this is seriously starting to eat in to the season.

Aston (partial), Brigstock and Stockton have all shut down here as well.

I've still got my fingers crossed that the ground at Windsor will hold for the driving.
