Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Glentress is so lovely though. So flowy and nice. That's what blues should be like.

Will probably do bits of Kielder next week some time. Maybe Ae. Depends how much free time we have and how utterly knackered we are.

The racing has been good this year. Shame Loana Lecomte couldn't race this week, but great to see Evie Richards win. Also good to see Nino Schurter win.

I love the Glentress blue. First proper trail centre with QP when he was about 8/9.

It was a feast of amazing riding, cath.
Evie was just SO strong and what a lovely interview afterwards :-)
Wee Isla Short had a cracking race too after a tough year.

And I must admit to being delighted for Nino too :)
