The Cross Country opened for inspection yesterday
Designed Sue Benson, a former European Eventing team champion who has been designing courses for “almost 20 years”, the course has been described by media as a masterpiece. The undulations, steep rises and falls of the parkland have not been tamed, but embraced, to create a 28-fence track, with 39 jumping efforts and three stopping points, that will test them all and draw the cream to the very top. And all without interfering in any way with the site which will be returned to its original state as soon as the Games are over.
Here's a preview of fences 10 & 11
