Looking beyond the rain to Millers Hill

The countdown continues. Less than a week now to our trip to Millers Hill and, despite the gloomy view out the window over the last few days, it looks like we might pull off the usual miracle with the weather. Campers will need warm sleeping bags but we might be able to pack lightly on the rain gear end of things:

As last year, the plan is to arrive at Millers Hill around noon on Saturday and we’ll have lunch once the horses are settled in their quarters. The cross country course will be the highlight of the first day and arrangements are in place for our expedition to Gosford Forest Park on Sunday. The National Trust rangers have kindly agreed to open the back gate to the estate so that we can hack safely and easily to the forest.

This year we haven’t formally arranged any polocrosse activities but there’ll be nothing to stop people having a go at it, if they wish. Carriage driving is very definitely on the itinerary.
