First tip of our trip on 28th for those who have not been to a PTP before .........wear waterproofs and too many clothes as it is usually both wet and cold !! If the weather is dry and clement you are not far from your car to discard them ........"you can always take them off but if you don't have them you can't put them on " ;)
 
This is excellent advice, Gordon. I've seen plenty especially those once a year attendees who turn up in a pair of trainers which they regret very quickly. I invariably look about three stone heavier than normal on a brisk winter day at Larkhill!

NH Racing teaming up with local Point to Point in a great initiative.

If you are going to Horseheath on New Years Eve it may be worth keeping your racecard !! Very good to see Huntingdon Racecourse teaming up with a local Point to Point 😇😇 Racecards ( priced at £3 ) purchased at this meeting will allow free entry to Huntingdon’s National Hunt fixture at the Cambridgeshire racecourse on Friday 9 th January 2026.
 
Enjoy one and all.
I am currently reading " National Hunt And P2P Racing In Ireland, A History " by Frances Nolan. Four Courts Press.
Well worth getting your hands on.
Also the Doneraile Steeplechase have gotten planning permission for their memorial monument , the sod has been turned and construction about to take place
 
Would be interesting to know if anyone felt out of place or ignored by and I quote “the silver spoon/very rich people” there today or if they felt ignored or lesser people ?
It was a truly amazing day I must apologise for not being as attentive as I should have been. Many of the elite seemed to want to talk with me today…….god knows why 😁
 
Couldn't believe I was out of my Area by some way but never stopped bumping into people I knew. Nice course too with excellent viewing. I will do a picnic that includes cake next time, I promise!

Great to catch up with Charlotte Fuller too!
 
Gotta be honest that photo looks like Jinny kidnapped some friends from the special bus jesus wept thats a hell of a filter.

Absolutely not it was a really chilled relaxed atmosphere Gordon as for you, watching Gordon at a point to point meet was a bit like seeing Tom jones in action literally mobbed by fans and some willing to throw their knickers at him. Not me, it was too chilly for my willy today but god help him if we meet up in July.
