I know these look like 2 telegraph poles on the ground, but on the day fences 5 & 6 will each be a pair of field gates, kindly loaned from stock by Countrywide in Melksham. 5 and 6 are offset by about a gate width. |

There will be (much) more water in here on the day - we block the stream to back the water up. There's a bridge for course-walkers. |

Almost every obstacle is a natural hedge faced with rails. This course was designed to be as natural as possible, reflecting what you may encounter in a day out with the Avon Vale Hunt.
