Preview: Longridge Rotary ‘Cross / Barton Equestrian Centre 22 Sept 2018

Hi, and welcome to the second Longridge Rotary CX. This year we are at Barton Equestrian Centre after our hosts at Chipping Showground are letting their field lay fallow for the year (we are invited back next year).

The venue is located just off the A6 at Bilsborrow near Guys Thatched Hamlet and The Roebuck pub.
As you approach the venue you will see the large wind turbine which will help guide you in. Turning onto the track to the venue you will come to a bridge over the motorway. This is single track so be guided by the traffic marshals in place there. There is large car park at the venue with overspill parking in a field nearby. The ground in that field is good and has been used often as overspill at Equestrian events.
Postcode for Satnav is Pr3 0RR but follow signage and marshals when you get near!

There will be a £2 charge for vehicle parking

We will be building the course on the Thursday prior to the day of the race not the Friday.

Sign on will be in our marquee and toilets are located in the main building and will be sign posted.

There is an on site cafe serving the usual fast food fare.

Please place your team gazebos in the area marked on the map.

THERE ARE NO JET WASHES ALLOWED IN THE PIT AREA OR ANYWHERE ON THE COURSE. THIS IS TO PROTECT THE GROUND. PIT MARSHALS WILL BE IN PLACE TO ENSURE THIS.

The course runs through the eventing/show jumping fields and consists of some short ascent/descent steep off camber climbs and will run through a sand arena.

See you there
