The Burghley Diaries are officially OPEN. 🎙️
It's Wednesday, it's absolutely chucking it down and Nicole is in the middle of it all as Burghley week gets underway.
Tilly Berendt joins us fresh from a very soggy course walk to talk through a brilliantly wide-open field, why she's firmly Team Sarah Bullimore and Corimiro, and whether this could be the year the usual Burghley trends get ripped up.
Then, THEY MADE IT. 600km from Scone to Burghley, three and a half days on bikes and nearly £18,000 raised. Andrew Ransford and Henry Kinchin join us to talk through the challenge and the slightly alarming suggestion that £35k might get them back on the bikes to Cornbury.
There's a quick visit from Lily Meade before Wednesday delivers its first proper bit of Burghley drama: David Doel and Galileo Nieuwmoed are OUT. Nicole and Annie jump straight back on to work out what that means for the competition and a LOT of Eventing Manager teams.
