The venue, the Rhug estate, Corwen, is huge organic farm (12,500 acres) owned by Lord Newborough and he kindly invited us to use his farmland for our BMAF Championships. It is a “real cross country course with a stream crossing”. There are Venison and Bison on the estate and they export their produce, all over the world and it is favoured by many Michelin Star restaurants worldwide.
